@Louis-1988:
Greatest hero in shounen history! Congrats. The WF exclusive is soo much more faithful than the original. I wish I picked it up before it cost an arm and a leg. :(
Haha! He sure is! Along with Momotaro Tsurugi!! Regarding the WF exclusive, I don't think it ever didn't cost an arm and a leg!! Unless you were fortunate enough to attend Wonder Festival and grab him for his event price of 5,000 yen.
But bearing in mind that there are only 2,000 of these figures in existence in the world, I'm pretty pleased I managed to grab him! Also, unlike MH, medicos are unlikely to reissue any of their Part II figures and certainly not event exclusives (trust me, I already asked them!)
Edit:
That's a turn up! Manda have just put up a used one for 12,000 yen http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1550726.html
I wonder how long that lasts!
Edit 2:
Why does this always happen to me!! Spend weeks searching, and then just after dropping 12K, one pops up this morning for 8.5k, and 5 minutes later sells out! I was tempted, but it was too late to cancel the other one. Plus this one was opened, so I don't really mind paying an extra 3,500 yen for MISB…............
More figure delays it seems...............first Max Factory Guyver I Figma pushed back to December, and now MH D.O.D. Goku & Picolo pushed back to January & February, respectively:
