Post Re: Tiger Mask (early-type yellow phase 2)
I have some serious bitter-sweet emotions every time this thread is revitalised. I was unbelievably excited to order the TM (and Nezubirdon) from Medicom through their [then] newly added 'international order' address, but have since then gotten nothing but the runaround. My payment was never processed, and I received no confirmation of any sort. Repeated efforts at contact haven't resulted in any clarification.

I know that there is the licensing issue to workout, which I still find pretty silly, and of course there is understably going to be some degree of communication difficutly, but if I had known this from the start I would have made other arrangements to get them. I am completely bummed to not end up with either of these great figures. It is highly unlikely there will be changes of heart from the pre-orders, and I can't afford to pay aftermarket prices. :x

I get bummed too, but only because I missed the pre-order altogether. Although, hearing what you guys have been going through with the preorder, I probably would be equally bummed out if I had gotten an order in.

Hmmm I pre-ordered the Nezubirdon and I believe it was said they were to ship by the end of March? Today is the last day of March? I'm not too worried but given that the dates they originally listed did not correspond, I also wonder what's up? I got a friendly reminder email a week after the order in January but it said to make payment some time in February. I was waiting to be invoiced but that never happened. Made a payment- they emailed me said they got, then received a order confirmation (twice for some reason). Maybe it's a language barrier thing...

Just got a email that it was mailed Friday. So I guess everyone be on the look out for your Nezubirdon.

If I'm not mistaken these new releases are slightly smaller than the originals... Can anyone confirm?

Post Re: Tiger Mask (early-type yellow phase 2)
So I was thinking about it, and since this one was labeled "early-type yellow phase" don't you think they'll do a repro of the orange versions as well? Since there were 3 color versions of the original figure why would they stop at just the yellow. I'm also really hoping to see The Rulers, made, as well as Devil Spider. It's really hard to not buy everyone of these that's coming out.

I was expecting, or at least hoping, for something similar. But given the fact that the licensing issue for the first guy is (as far as I know) still not worked out, and I think they removed the international sales for the other guys, I am not very hopeful of getting my hands on any of these in the near future.

Post Re: Tiger Mask (early-type yellow phase 2)
So I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to do the international order for the orange mask version, or if they have negated that option entirely after the licensing issues from the last batch. Just want to know before I have to go through the whole third-party thing.

120 with extra charges included is way better than 250 I'm all on this, even though I still like the yellow one more (It feels more manga influenced).

Ok, I'm going to order the ORANGE version some time tomorrow, does anyone want to split an order to save on shipping, and fees we can split the cost of everything, even the cost of shipping from me to you. The it would save around 20 dollars for 2 people, around 35 for 3. I don't think there's a limit per order, let me know if anyone is interested.

Michael
