    I was wondering if the Sharkman was a one off . . . shame it's FC only, it would sit with the OG real nice! :(

    I actually don't like the way the colors look. Might just be a bad picture though. The blue one is so sick though.

    It is a match for the red give-away/promotional only sharkman head for the 12" figure. If memory serves me, this was allotted to certain seat numbers only at some toy show event years ago.

    With or without this, this Sharkman is SUPERB!

    But if the red is anything like the FC clear DBM you might as well forget it existed! :(

    nope, never seen one for sale

    There can't be that many people who can amass the points quick enough to get 'em

    As for the Grapple sharkman, maybe these will be available to us outside Japan like other FC releases?

    To Anyone with either Sharkman- are the hands articulated? They look like they might spin at the wrist... I'd like to get one at some point, but I'm not prepared to pay for it just yet. =)

    the arm and hand are two separate pieces, but the hands can't rotate - the shape of the mold makes it so the hand will pop off before rotating around

    I'm kinda in the same boat . . . I like and own both the DBM and the first Sharkan but if all the releases are only gonna be über limited, never turn up for sale, rock' horse shit rare I'd rather not bother . . . otherwise they just mess up my set up and lose there appeal . . . :?

    Interesting about the joints . . .I hadn't actually noticed but as mentioned, even though they are separate, they can't be moved out of position . . . how bizzare!

    This version looks kinda like a tengu.

    Does anyone have a photo of the 12" red Sharkman? I don't think I ever even knew of its existence.

    there is only a red head available. Well not really available.

    The mythical red sharkman is either a cutom or photoshop mock up I think.

    Only the head was issued.
    It's like the other Cromagnon head variations.

    There are at least 2-3 of them floating around...

    I'm trying to get a suit painted to match, but the Red Paints issued Stateside always seem too sticky...
