Oh nice! That guy is fantastic. I really like the way he came out, quite nice details and colour + bonus vinyl cape :) . I think he would have been just a little better with more of an standard 'vinyl toy' pose, versus the action figure way he is handled now [I think I just like the old fashioned look], but it is all personal preference. Next to the vintage guy it sure makes a lovely duo.

That's a killer figure...but yeah, I agree with Steve: the stance is a bit wide for my tastes.

VAG Series 5

The only 1 I'm really interested in from this series is the green cap gid mushroom man. He reminds me of some toys I loved as a wee child - "GLO Friends", which were gid vinyl glow worms.

I didn't realize that there were So Many. I only had 2 or 3. They were most likely my first glow-in-the-dark toys, come to think of it...

Hmm, Ha, I kind of want to find a couple of these lil guys now. The spider with the purple cane & purple hat is probably my favorite.

Edit: that nostalgia died fast. kisses.

Ha! So Medicom is finally releasing Tiger Mask's Cave Ruler reprint (along with Zebraman):

Tempted because I'd love a cape, but I already have an original.

I saw that! Of course now I immediately think of you ;)

You need to make a wearable version that you can spin in.

I know lixx! he's one of my favorite characters.
I'm just surprised they decided to do more tiger mask reissues 4 years after the first few (I can't believe it's been that long :shock: ).

LOL I completey forgot he's my avatar. Might be changing it soon although I love the shit eating grin on his masked red head! Have any of the Tiger Mask reissues been available for overseas? I think the answer is no but I forget.

I don't believe any of the nakajima reissues were available for overseas preorder, just the more recent newer style medicom releases.

New toys up for sale now.

A new Godzilla figure for the "Godzilla Vinyl Wars" series, a new Flat Woods Monster by Marmit, Tiger Mask's Cave Ruler and Zebraman, more Anraku Ansaku toys, new Akumaizer 3 reprints, etc. And the best of all: Vader Time!!

I am really loving the 'back to the 1970s' Kikaider, so much goodness both in design and execution. I am far less excited about the Captain Action version of Ultraman though. Weird how two such similar toys could be released at the same time with such disparity; just odd (and probably unfortunate) timing I suppose. Anyhow, I would love to be able to get myself one of those RAH toys.

Re: New Medicom

^ Y'know, I'm actually a bit charmed by the new Ultraman's mitten hands.

:shock:

Wow those are both gorgeous!! ^^

There going to look awesome all together!

Re: New Medicom

Tue Feb 02, 2016 6:03 am

Unfortunately still no shot with the mask off...

Re: New Medicom

Tue Feb 02, 2016 6:11 am

Do the masks actually come off of these? The devil bado's did but not the ultra earth's I think

Re: New Medicom

Tue Feb 02, 2016 6:24 am

It looks like total replications of the originals so mask should come of I think. The seam is visible on the mask and there appears to Be something different at the base of the head. Hard to discern though...

I would hope so! Can anyone confirm please?

Re: New Medicom

Tue Feb 02, 2016 7:22 am

It doesn't look like they do. The devilmans had the seams but they were clearly split in the photos where you could see the inner head. ON these toy it looks pretty solid.

Re: New Medicom

Tue Feb 02, 2016 9:25 am

It does say that these are samples, and the actual products may look different. I can't imagine that their masks would not come off.

So excited for this next wave. Now if only the first wave were out already!

the only one that's had a picture with the mask off (so far) has been devil bado:

here's to hoping that the rest do!

The Dunbine is beautiful.

The second two Astro-Mu figures are up for pre-order at TAG (Toy Art Gallery).

Re: New Medicom

Thu Apr 14, 2016 6:28 am

The last two AM5 figures were announced and should be up for preorder soon. Just curious how many others are picking up this entire line (I am committed, but I hate preordering another two after not even receiving any of the prior four). At the end of it all, the entire line will run close to a grand! Ugh.
