Looks like there's a little preorder going on for the black super puncher.

Wow, thanks for the info. Justin's Katope Super Puncher was on black vinyl...my Chanmen Helper is on black too, I hope that means something good too.

Awesome. Someone beat me to posting it.

I was wondering how long it would take before some of you guys found out.

We are making some available now, and the rest after the release date.

Do you work for CS Toys?

I own CS Toys International and run the USA side of things.

I have a manager and employees in Japan running CS Toys Japan, where we specialize in Super Sentai and Kamen Rider items.

Hey SuperBen! So happy to see you posting on SB! I'm heading right over the CS for some more goodies.
That Black Super Puncher is awesome. CS exclusive... Any idea how many in the release? It's must have for me.
(Thanks for the package yesterday)

Did you honestly just ask for a run number?

I ordered mine to go with the mily white. So glad this guy's coming in black to match the black Dave fig i've got.

Love that little guy. Great idea with the switchable faces...I love playability

Ordered mine. Looks great in the black vinyl. Thanks G&F and superben for the heads up.

Shit. Out of stock.

The black vinyl is what finally sold me to buy this guy.

Not my bag but the black shows off the sculpt way better than the OG milky . . . a mid tone colour would show it off even better . . . and when someone actually decides to apply a little paint to it, it might start looking almost interesting!

Yep need to see a painted...BTW milky turned up today Andy. Cheers

This little guy is so awesome! Heard about this earlier today and grabbed it without hesitation. Really looking forward to having a black & (milky) white pair of these guys. When I first saw pictures of the clear red release I had no idea he had a second face, but when I found out about his "transforming powers" that just made him all the more amazing.

I think I might prefer the Super Puncher and Power Mister unpainted because I like that they don't have pupils.
That being said, the le merde custom's are awesome.

I love what Katope did with the eyes on that Super Puncher that Justin picked up at SDCC since I don't like the regular pupils on them as much either.

All pre-orders sold out. That was fast for as many as there were. Haha.

We'll have a few more up after the release date. Thanks to everyone.

We also have GID Daves, which were exclusive to us as well

I got mine preorder in I am so happy to see more of this guy being made since the red came out so long ago. Also for those of you that do not like the pupils the red actually has pupils on it but they are red as well so it is hard to see. Such a great little figure I would love to see a regular painted release as well but no worries. Oh and as for the comment about the run size they did release the run number on the OG Red which was 50 pieces.

It's 2010. Who on this board doesn't own a toy store, or resin toy or vinyl 'piece'...it's clearly the sign of the times.

It's uber easy as well. Sign up..never contribute to any thread and sell your product....It's the easiest gateway.

bryce, I don't see anything wrong with the first part, but I definitely agree with your feelings behind the second.
Though, I do think that most people on here are pretty good about giving a good balance of contribution vs. pushing their own product when they are informed about the way we like things to work around here. For those that don't get that, it's obvious that they have no emotional connection to what they are selling, and at that point it's up to everyone else to do decide on their own if they choose to support that individual, company, group etc


Unfortunately, wether CS Toys chooses to contribute to this board beyond now or not (not saying that I think they wont) people will obviously buy this toy from them as it is a popular figure and exclusive to their store.

Wow slow down guys. Ben is a long time collector and fan. Just because he doesn't post on here doesn't mean you should just instantly slam him. Call down and lets keep this on topic about the figure since it is made by gargamel and horvath not CS toys so it isn't really "their product" even though it is exclusive to them. Many of us collected long before coming to this board and CS Toys has been around since 2002 so it isn't like they just started up or anything.

I can't speak for Bryce, but I wasn't trying to "slam" CS Toys or Ben. I was actually giving them the benefit of the doubt because I did after all start this thread, not them.
I was just giving my general opinion about people that post, but don't contribute.

No worries. No offense taken.

I guess I just needed a catalyst to start posting on here. I signed up way back in 2008 for Skullbrain, but never really posted till now. As with a lot of people, I'd just been an occasional lurker.

I've known the guys at CS TOYS for nearly 10 years now.
They lead the way when it comes to bringing in
Sentai and Rider stuff from Japan at great prices so you can
have the goods on release day ( my MUST...to have the goods
a few hours before you can purchase them in Japan ) and
the packing / web show is pretty incredible.
Super Ben's shop in Matsuyama is fantastic.
That whole town is a must see so stop by the CS toys shop
when in Japan if you can.

Anyhoo sorry if there was a mix up,
half were pre-order and those shipped today, the other
half go live as of right now.

good looking out, missed the pre order but not this batch, slick release

The international shipping fees are either $33 or $40?!
Well, no Super Puncher for me then . . .
