You remind me of that New Zealand actor from Flight of the Conchords agent who also recently played the boss in Yes Man.

Looks like http://charactics.shop-pro.jp/?pid=12217120and http://1ban-boshi.shop-pro.jp/?pid=12151494Not really a fan of either of these colors, not that I had a chance to get them anyway.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
Well whatever they were, they rule and are all sold out it looks. Anyone got the skinny? Where these all HP one offs? Or just small runs per store? Also what's the RM one, I never really knew their site. Well, congrats to those who did get them and will, no doubt, be putting them up on YJA for 100,000.00 Yen soon.

Yep, by the time I figured out what was going on I was SOL.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
gone within the minute... RM and Ichibanboshi were very nice. Prices seemed to have crept up, 12,800yen.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
gaaaah, i know the thrill of the chase is something exciting, but the sooner some of these are even a bit more readily available, the better. such a nice figure and i'm sure that to have just one of these amongst the displays of those of us who have so badly wanted one but have thus far failed to score one would be just fantastic! oh well, until then the search continues ...

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
A large production run is enevitable- I mean there were 3 released today! WTF! People cant be making any money releasing 3 at a time- its a really clever marketing technique though creating demand hysteria for when a larger run does come.
Cant wait- the sculpt is awesome and I think will work with any combo of colours- saying that though it will be hard to make a more beautiful one that the GID one.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
i think we may have already seen the largest run with the gid and clear exoheads. three micro editions in a day is indeed clever. for me, the black RM Maza is the best of all released so far.
i also think that email lottery represents the best chance for folks outside japan. most wouldn't even get anywhere close to scoring via the normal online shopping.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
I set my alarm this morning, and got up--but went back to bed. I guess I just don't care enough anymore. They didn't even have pictures, so I didn't even know what I was supposed to be excited about. I'll just wait until they make more than a handful and they start sending pre-order emails. the thrill of the hunt/chase/luck of draw can be fun sometimes--but how about the thrill of owning one? sorry if this has been a bummer--but there's a silver lining; one less guy trying means one less email means someone else has a better chance good luck to all who participated, and congrats to all the winners.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
I would have loved to score either the pink Hawaii version or the Black Hole...this is effing ridiculous...I got up this morning too, only to get really frustrated and pissed.

Oh well, too many variations not enough to go around.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
Just gotta be patient dudes, no need to get pissed. More will come, this figure is still spanking new in a sense and I doubt they just stop making it for some reason. I want one too, but I'm not gonna feed the hype and pay crazy prices and just wait it out.
Also Jeb, Ichibanboshi takes overseas orders? I never tried since it's all in Japanese. I gotta check that out they get stuff I want on occasion but I don't want to go through Celga and get an extra BS fee.

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
I really liked the Ichibanboshi one myself!
I didn't score but I'm not willing to give up. Zollmen has actually been putting these, and the other figures, out fairly quickly. We'll get another shot next month I bet.
And I'd like to see some exohead get thrown into the mix too!

 Re: Dear Zollmen, what's an OBAY?
Completely forgot about this, not that I would have tried. So there was a Black Hole RM version, saw the pic of that (above- sweet looking), a Ichibanboshi version? And a Hawaiian colored one?
EDIT: Wait answered my own question. Yeah it's all about the Black Hole and Charactics Hawaiian, very nice indeed.
