Wow, this is the best news to come along (for me) in a long time. I am really happy that Tiger Mask is getting some recognition, and I am excited for these re-issues. I hope the pre-order stays up for a bit yet; I'll definitely have to save up for one of these guys.

Amazing reproduction.The quality is outstanding.

It is slightly smaller than my standard vintage version.

I dont think Ive ever seen the original colouring book.

Be cool to see what Medicom do next.

I'm pretty excited about this release, hope to see more down the line.
This is one of those shows I grew up with, loved 'l'uomo tigre' when I was a kid! :mrgreen:

NIce. 7800 yen is easier to take than the 30-50,000 that the vintage sells for.
Surprised Demboku hasn't done one yet, they seem to have produced their own set of Tiger Mask figures.

Has anyone else had any issues with their order. I have been trying to follow-up on these, and just received a message that they may not be able to ship internationally. That is going to be a huge letdown if true, as I would certainly have made third-party arrangements otherwise to get one.

wow, that's a drag about the international shipping. this is deft'ly on my most wanted...since i'll likely never afford a vintage one.

I haven't received any notice. But I will be super bummed as well, and can make alternate arrangements If they at least give a chance.

No kidding? That would suck! I put through my pre-order but thought it strange that no payment needed and its been quite a while without further instructions.

It's a rad toy but it's so so close to the original which in my opinion isn't to expensive to get. I have repros so i'm guilty but I'd be surprised if this sold out.

Totally agree. If you're willing to settle for one with no cape and sash an OG can be had relatively cheap. There is even a guy on YJ making repro capes for the Naoto Date and red death mask. For me this would be a tough sell at that price. That said though they did an awesome job on these.

Ah man, I wish I had seen this a few days ago. :( Don't have any cash anyway, but it woulda been cool to get one of these.

Post subject:  Re: Tiger Mask (early-type yellow phase 2)

not sure why this is going so much attention now, the preorder ended jan 31st, and i posted this almost a month ago :)

anyway i went to a ton of stores in japan. and only 1 place (cka) had an original tiger mask figure. of which i bought it (came with mask, and boots and no mafura/cape). around $150 not sure if that is good deal or not.

this is one of the harder figs from the series to find. maybe its abundant on yja, but i don't think it would be cheaper than this newone.

i just wanted to have a new one also cause its such a rad figure regardless if it strays from the og or not. for now, i don't intend on collecting the entire line so i can justify the price.

There's one MIB being bid up to 121000 Japanese yen = 1562.9086 US dollars on YJA.
Granted its just one auction and its MIB, but still...

Without the cape, $150 sound about right.
With cape, probably 3x or 4x that, but I might be off...

I just think it's cool they're going w/ the whole shebang on the packaging.

Sweet! Having a ring would be awesome. I am hoping for a bit of a price break on the other characters though, to be honest. The vintage are still available fairly cheaply, and I was just willing to shell out the extra for TM himself, to have a complete figure. Has anyone received further notice?

"As for TIGER MASK, we are still in progress so please wait until we can announce you updates.
Thank you very much for your patience."

The ring is great even if you didn't plan on getting any of the figures. I'm still bummed I've missed T.M.

still getting dicked around on this:


We had the shipping date announced to be in late March when we took orders.

However, we are still in progress with the copyright owner on selling/ shipping this item from customers overseas.

We will make an announcement as soon as we have updates so please wait until then.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
