Post subject:  Denboku Love

Hello all, I love this company and thought it would be cool to see what people have. I've searched the board and only found a few instances like Tezuka's Jetter Mars or Dororo figs. I guess with their limited almost exclusively festival only releases this shows just how hard it is to get their stuff. I've only got two Cyborg 009 figs, though I've got the trio of Dororo figs on the way: Dororo, Hyakkimaru (adult), and Hyakkimaru (baby).

Well, I'm more interested in seeing what everyone else has. Here's a pic from an earlier post. The Denboku Cyborg 009 stuff is in the upper left.

Also, here's a pic of what I've got coming:

Yes both in regular form and just born, baby form. I actually just got my Celga box a few minutes ago, so I should have some of my own actual pics of the Dororo crew up later tonight.

I have Major Boko, and I'm really holding out for the rest of Wonder-3.

Hope they make them.

Still can't figure out what this dude is from:

Paul, I believe that character is called Kanekozo and is also from Dororo. I think he's one of the demons they have to fight.

Love your photos!

Actually, Kanekozo looks to be a good spirit:

Read episodes 3 and 4. I also think his head is supposed to look like old Japanese metal money, like a gold Koban or something.

I have the below Denboku Dororo figures below but still need the Hyakkimaru (baby).
The other Denboku I have are the Jetter Marus and SkullMan figs. The big regret was missing the Triton figure they released not too long ago. Really great quality figures.

I was wondering if his sword-arm was there! So cool! I'm not a fan of manga or anime in general, but Hyakimaru and his story is just so crazy -- I love it. I think I might have to track down that toy.

onibaba5 saw your Denboku Dororo figs on your post awhile back. I just got mine today. I thought it only had the one sword arm, but it's on both as my girlfriend discovered:

I also love the baby, though it only has two points of articulation you sure can do a lot with it:

Here's a shot of my recent Denboku:

I think this is my favorite Denboku, Kubikuro from Cyborg 009:

I have been trying to track down those 009 for a long time. I love Denboku and have a few of these. The buddha with bell dude glows too.

I used to see some pop up on Yahoo every so often, but I haven't seen any there for a very long time, maybe from about a year ago.

Love Denboku stuff! I also have been trying to get any of the Cyborg 009 figures but have struck out.

I have a couple already pictured here and one more...the skull guy in the long coat with a captain's hat? I can't remember what his name is or what he is from...anyone know? I'd post a pic of him but I am still away from my place for the holidays.

I think his name is Yurei Sencho, which would translate to Ghost Captain (I think). Since Ishinomori has a comic called Yurei Fune or Ghost Ship, I'm guessing that's what he's from.

There is a Skull Man aka Sukaru Man that Denboku did, below is a pic of the figure. Skullman was a manga from the 70s by Shotaro Ishinomori
then brought back by a different artist, Kazuhiko Shimamoto who did a great run of new Skull Man manga by TokyoPop I think. I have the first four or so new volumes and the art is fantastic! I have that Denboku figure as well and I have the Medicom RAH which came with a great Skullman book that features some of the original art by Ishinomori.
Crazy character!!!! Villain figures would be radical.

This Skull fella below which sounds like the one you are describing Z, I know nothing about but he is really a great looking character, if he is the one you have, nice find!
If ever you would like to trade for him.... ; )

Like the Tezuka figures, Denboku is making lots of characters from certain creators it seems, Ishinomori created Cyborg 009 and Kamen Rider as well.
