Sweet! I'll be in Japan in May, maybe I'll get lucky. Also- I had no idea these releases go back 5+ years! I though this line was fairly new!

Very cool! Hopefully heading out in June myself. If you are going to be in the Tokyo area, be sure to check out my Kinnikuman Tokyo Shopping guide:

If you are going to be anywhere near Yamanashi, TOYFUL is the place for Five Star vinyl for sure. There is also a Kinnikuman MUSCLE Shop in Kyoto right now selling some exclusive vinyl as well.

Thanks for the info on where to get this stuff.

Yudetamagochan is awesome.
Would love a regular color version too....

Incredible Yudetamago-chan score! Very cool! I think the MxMxM version is my favorite. They look really nice together like that.

Warsman Unmasked Toyful Pink Blank



http://nama-niku.blogspot.com/2012/04/k ... oyful.html

Goes on sale tonight - should sell out pretty fast.

THAT....is awesome!

Hmmm...if I'd been on the ball about it, I might have been very tempted to pick it up (it is QUITE sold out now). Is this a new head sculpt, Tyler? Or has there been any other Warsmans (Warsmen?) using this head?

I'd ideally love to pick up a fully-painted version of one of these guys.

And, uh, speaking of which....did you see the original anime/manga color version of Warsman that was on Y!J a week or so ago? Fucking thing ended at over 30k!

New head sculpt... no painted versions yet, but I bet they will be out soon. Those original figures fetch crazy prices!

Lots of new Kinnikuman vinyl dropping in Japan on 4/29.

Yamashiroya GITD Kamahame and Yudetamago-chan (online orders but no overseas shipping)
http://www.e-yamashiroya.com/f/5f/kinnikuman/index.htm

Oooh...must have that Kamahame! I just asked my agent if he can snipe that preorder for me. Hopefully he agrees to it!

Anyway, I lucked out (sorta) by scoring the recent unpainted pink mask-off (early) Warsman from Y!J. Of course, I chumped out and paid flipper prices. But hey, maybe that'll serve as a nice suck-up to my agent!

And speaking of Warsman, is the head on that unpainted caucasian "Justice" version above another new sculpt? I don't think I've seen his smooth/featureless mask on any Five Star Toys figures yet. If so, damn cool...going all out with this character!

Nice! Tempted to pick up a few more myself...

BamBam is doing a new blank set each month, now until July 29th:

5/29 Terryman vs Ashuraman
6/29 Kinnikuman vs Akuma Shogun (Kinnikuman Day exclusive - going to be there!)
7/29 Kinnikuman Great vs Sunshine (Black Vinyl.. hot damn)

There are three Warsman head sculpts: "Killer Smile," smooth mask, and unmasked.

I for one had missed this, thanks for posting it again!! I've been after a Five Star release list for a while, this is just awesome!!

Mandarake just got these in stock today... Some nice blanks and limited releases. Pics from one of their official twitter accounts.







They take PayPal, CCs and do overseas shipping.

You can email them directly in English to inquire about any pictured: http://www.mandarake.co.jp/en/contact/

Ah, I just picked up that brown Warsman! Hey, I figure if the original dark grey is pushing well over 30k, brown ain't a bad compromise!

Got that blue-suited Kinnikuman as well...but I'm not sure I'm feeling it. Honestly, I'd love to see them do a Kinnikuman wearing the Robin Mask armor like the classic MUSCLE. Or how about one painted up like Super Phoenix? Or...

I picked up that blank ashuraman on my trip to nakano broadway! Hoping I can track down a robinmask before I leave on Monday!

Too cool man, I hope you are having an amazing time! The Kinnikuman shop in Koenji may have the new Warsman and Buffaloman blanks, but not sure on a Robin Mask. Maybe try the Akihabara Mandarake?

I just checked out for Japan Flickr pics ~ SO Jealous man!

In other Five Star News...



http://www.nama-niku.blogspot.com/2012/ ... rrman.html

Damn...under 10k for two FiveStar Toys figures...that's a steal for these guys. Painted or not.

I don't suppose there's any new news on the Geronimo sculpt? Their blog is all about announcements when stuff's for sale, but it'd be cool if they posted in-progress pics just to whet people's appetites!

Just an update to thank Nama for the heads up, these just arrived from Mandarake! And Sunshine is boss!

Awesome haul! Very jealous...

How's the glow hand on that "Red Rain of Berlin" Broken Jr?

Dunno to be honest, I still need to check him out as I'm still gobsmacked by the Sunshine
All I do know is that I want one of those Punk Drunkers t's! Will let you know once I manage to play a little with him!

Awesome score! That Sunshine is a beast!! I hope I can get a un painted version some day.

HOT DAMN! Nice score mate! Those guys all look rad! Mandarake is a pretty slick way to go. So easy.

Also got my shipment in... The magical Mandarake merry-go-round





Mandarake still has a yellow blank I think... You can shoot them an email to find out.

^ I contacted Mandarake about getting a Sunshine a few days back and they said they were sold out.

Ditto.

Too bad on the Sunshines guys... Mandarake's stuff turns over so quickly.

My best advice is to follow Micro Miyakoshi on twitter. He is the Director of the Nakano Microkan and generally tweets about all the good Kinnikuman vinyl they get in the day before it goes on the shelves. Once something goes out on a tweet, it is fair game to purchase. All you need to do after that is contact Mandarake via their online English inquiry form and let them know that you are interested in something and include a link to his tweet/item pic.

Here is a link to his twitter account: https://twitter.com/#!/396kancho

Here is an interview I did with him mostly about their shop and Kinnikuman Kinkeshi stuff: http://nama-niku.blogspot.com/2010/12/m ... rview.html



Those are both great ideas. I bet we will be the Kinnikuman Robin armor version in the near future. Still no word on the Geronimo sculpt.

Mandarake is ace! I need to keep them checked more often! Three days from Japan to Italy is record breaking! Thanks again!

^^
the blank sets are nice. i wished the pieces are sold individually though as i don't need the pink pieces.
