    Are the ones that have been released already not available, I've never ordered from Medicom directly.

    Usually Medicom leaves the pre order open for around a month or so, but yeah once they disappear from the main page site they're done accepting orders for that particular toy.

    Nice pick ups. I especially love the red guy. I've finally hung out in this thread long enough to add a few of these guys to my want list.

    a nice size and paint job, you won't regret picking them up ^
    i could see these done bigger

    i'll be getting a few more, hoping they make the triton/dolphin figure

    I was just wondering when these guys would show up and suddenly they were at my door this morning (perfect timing since it's my only day off from school to sign for them!). 3 down, 3 more to go (for me at least- skipping the dinos)! I'm almost convinced Zollmen might have helped with getting these made because two of them so far have some serious forward lean (a known Zollmen issue). Still pretty damn awesome though:

    Wow, great group. Nice mail day. Congratulations. All three are definitely on my list to track down at some point. I only have a couple of Zollmen but those mini zofbies are all slightly drunken and tough to keep upright.

    Really nice. I wish I had been able to grab the last pair, as I know I will have to pay through the teeth for them on the aftermarket. Looks like Medicom did a great job on these releases as usual. The colours seem to be much brighter than the vintage, which I take it is to differentiate them easily, but I imagine there is also some other markings (not having the vintage myself, I would be interested to know if anyone has done a side by side comparison).

    they look squishy, whats the shore on these?


    Thanks for the pics, regretting not picking them up, but then again I feel the same way for almost all of the medicom releases.

    Definitely not squishy, solid vinyl and pretty hard.

    Next offering of the last two will be on October 24th if my calculations are correct. They've followed this pattern: on website 24th of a month (i.e. June 24th), open orders till very last day of the following month (i.e July 31st), shipment the end of next month (i.e. end of September). Next offering the following month on the 24th (i.e. October), repeat pattern. It will be these two (photos of original vintage versions by vintagevinyl):

    Yeah I pre ordred them when they came out. Should be here in Feb/Mar 2014. The only six I really wanted. The way I see it spend under $600 for the six I want reissued, or spend thousands + hoping and praying the originals show up. Don't get me wrong I'd love to own the originals but for what they go for these days my bank account thanks me.

    Congrats on the completion! These looked so cool, wasn't really aware of the series previously, but there's definitely some great character to all of them. I had considered picking them up from the beginning but I've already been juggling a few other series from Medicom so it was too much for me to invest in these.

    These happened to show up this morning in a blizzard here in Buffalo:

    So glad these are finally done, no more waiting for the next round. Got to hand it to Medicom, btw the Devilman, Yonezawa Nodders, Tiger Mask, and these they did a great job on the reissues.

    Beautiful toys Chris. You are right, Medicom is really dedicating themselves to quality with these reissue figures. I like that Poriipeimos figure quite a lot. It is just about time for a group shot of all of yours now I think. :)

    Excellent toys! Thanks for taking them out for us. They look even better altogether like that. Definitely a gang of [undersea] thugs I would not want to come around a corner and encounter. :)

    Yeah I kind of regret not getting Salamandora and Demora BUT they looked like big shelf hogs and space in my kaiju land is at a premium. I have enough lizard like creatures anyhow. This lot is pretty unique, kind of like an Aquatic Roman army.

    These look fantastic Chris. Don't you regret passing on the Triton? I'm glad these shipped earlier than I expected, haven't received mine yet, but soon I hope. We actually bought exactly the same (except for the triton). For some reason I don't really like the lizards.
