yes, madball as well, all have already shipped to the store, but will probably not be released until I return home.

the all black madball I think was a lottery with the tickets. Only 25 made (?) and then it was a lottery between the submittors. I think that is how it worked in japan.

Hey Brian,
Do you know when they might be putting the madball mantis up on Super 7's site? Kozik mentioned they had them in the store but I always feel like an ass calling.

Don't these figures also remind you of Speed Racer? Especially the skull brain with the red scarf.

Just got the White SkullBrain, the White Barbarian, and the Madball (ended up being the regular version), today from ToyTokyo
....They look sweeeet!
The Skullbrain is hands down my favorite version
...Just so you know, it's an homage to an old villian from Kinnikuman (m.u.s.c.l.e. men)

Maybe it is a conjunction between kinniku (muscle) and gaikotsu (skeleton).
kinkotsuman
Indeed, he seems to bear the character for "kotsu" (bone related) on his forehead: 骨
The other guy has written にく, roughly "meat/flesh."

Yeah the little guys name is Meat. If anyone is interested in reading some of the original volumes of Kinnikuman the can be found translated here.

Be warned the first couple volumes are way different, story and art wise, than later volumes. Kind of an interesting progression to see.

I still have my bucket of them. Had a tonne of them. Brother and I used to battle it out all the time. I've looked on eBay to complete a set and so forth, but it's a hard thing to do...especially outside America. Also looking on the net, the Japanese had a hundred or so MORE characters to buy, and some of them are really cool.
