I wish I didn't miss out on these. I have been a fan of the M.U.S.C.L.E./Kinnikuman toy line since I was a kid. http://monster-web.jp/muscular/vol1.html http://www.kaiju-taro.com/index.php?ac=grp&grp=5000481 |

That shirt is insane...I don't think the original preorder had pics of the shirt. If it did, I would have ordered. |

I was on the fence about these but have been very impressed with the pre-release photos, so I grabbed Buffalo Man as a matter of regret-prevention. Should be here by the end of next week. Hope to be able to land Wars Man and the forthcoming third figure as well. Very curious to see what these are like "in person." I'll post photos when the Buffalo shows up. |

yeah i actually preordered both from KT awhile ago, they didnt have the shirt set at the time, but sent me the set as its the same price as buying the pieces separately. the figures are really cool, although im still trying to figure out how to configure buffaloman's legs so he stands with the right balance |

I saw the set with the t-shirt on KT over the weekend and was just staring at the buy button, then checked out better pics on the blog and they were gone! The price was really great for that set. |

Damn, now I'm really ticked I skipped looking at some better pics. My big thing was I couldn't gauge well enough what the deal was with them from the KT pics. |
