    Good Stuff, Moog! Thanks for posting those!

    Anyone know if Medicom has plans on reproduce this entire cast of characters?

    Would be interesting if they also gave us a character or two that never even made it to the prototype stage.

    Hmm, Moog are aware if all figures featured there were produced? This is my 1st time seeing a couple of those figures, & I know of at least 1 that is missing from this roster.

    All of those guys were produced and some more! The original standard size Nakajima series has 25 figures all up ... but there are 3 versions of Tigermask and 2 versions of Mr No.

    Yowza! Then there's a LOT of them I don't know of.

    Thanks, Scobot. Ha, now I'm even more curious as to Medicom's plans :)

    ^ It sure is a nice one :)

    I've still got that itch of curiosity about whether they're planning on reproducing the entire line. How great would a shelf look lined w' a plethora of new & shiny Tiger Mask? :shock:

    I cant imagine how difficult, if not close to impossible, that it must be for those trying to collect all of the originals. Oh how I'd love to see a shelf full of those though. Seems like it would take a life-time to find, & even then I doubt it'd be complete... Nobody here by chance holds this title do they?! If so, Much Respect. HAVE to see a pic! I mean, how else are we going to believe you ;) But Yes, Please Show! :pretty-please_smiley:

    This is probably a total N00B question, but . . . . . how hard would it be to find just the mask on its own for the Tiger Mask standard size?

    I won 6 of the vintage figures recently and Tiger Mask doesn't have his mask . . . . :cry:

    Pretty difficult. You could try to piece one together (wait for one with no boots but has the mask) but it wont be cheap. I would just buy one complete and try to sell the maskless one. I tried this with a barom one I had a while back missing the belt but had the mask/boots. I gave up and sold him eventually. Ill keep an eye out for you though.

    The lot i won has arrived . . . thought i'd share a pre-clean photo of them.

    I'm really happy Tiger Mask turned up with his mask after all :) . . . it wasn't included in the photo when i was bidding.

    You really lucked out...im sure it went fairly cheap because of this also. They look like they are in nice shape , the piranha -man has a lot of silver spray, usually thats mostly worn off. Great scores Moog!

    ^^ got them dirt cheap. I doubt if i will ever get that lucky again (but you never know). The piranha man and lion dude are in the best condition out of the 6.

    Now i have them in hand i can really see what all the fuss is about - these are totally killer figures! Time for some careful cleaning.
