Think I'll content myself with ordering the new grey Chaos instead!  Exchange rate sucks hard! But it seems to have balanced and grounded out a lot of the prices. So its not all doom and gloom! The Chaos was a secret release so limited to mayby 20?.. It does look especially nice... Ill just have to pic up the mini..Glad to have that option!

 Re: New RxH . . .
the masking on the evil's head really bothers me and neutral colors on the chaos doesn't appeal to me either. i'd probably grab that evil if i had the matching mh.

Those releases have had more of the OG rxh feel then the higher number/masked releases we've been getting offered. If we're gonna buy as many if not more of the regular releases then the Japanese market why don't we get a couple of limited releases too?

 Re: New RxH . . .
Hmm. Looking at this new Evil today... Seems almost like the head doesn't belong on the body. Body has an old school feel spray look while the head is masked.

I was never good at maths

 Re: New RxH . . .
Yeah 2008 was NUTS for RxH in the west. It all got easier to get than EVER, lots of exclusives (plus 07 had a hefty chunk of US exclusives too) and barely any Japan only figures released.

 Re: New RxH . . .
I'm with Joe. Let Mori do his thing. Big runs or not, I still love his toys. 2008 was a lot of fun. 2009 is going to be interesting. new sculpts, new characters, free-hand/masking paint apps, new vinyl colors--and that was just last year.

 Re: New RxH . . .
Fair enough. I understand Joe's point quite well. I guess I'm just bitter that my two favorite releases from this year are simply impossible to find anywhere near retail.

If you guys haven't picked up the new KT Kai-Zine, do so. You'll see what I mean.

I'm not too happy about that, myself. when I got the KT-zine, I thought they might have been new up-coming production runs. Good luck to you, bro.

I was shocked by the number of releases that I never saw.
