The Tiger And Bunny Discussion Thread
 

Anyone else watching? I just started a few days ago. Saw the 1st episode. Off the bat, I bet Bandai is going to make Wild Tiger's 1st costume a SH Figuarts TamashiiWeb exclusive.

I think there was a shot of Wild Tiger in his original costume at the Tamashii Nation (It was just in the background of another picture, not clear enough to confirm).

I'd rather they fix the original Wild Tiger mold first.

Awesome show, I can't wait for the movies and a possible second season. I just wish the Figuarts weren't as expensive. Also, Sky High is my favorite hero, he's got a great design and I love how he just embraces the whole cheesy/campy Superhero persona.

Yup, there definitely was.

I LOVED the show, but I'm trying to avoid the figuarts as I can't afford another line I'll end up going completist on lol

Still gonna get Lunatic though since he was my favourite character.

What's wrong with it?

There have been many reports of tight ball joints at the crotch/upper thigh, when moved too much, the post that holds the ball joint snaps.

I should have Bunny by Wednesday, and also ordered the evil bunny Tamashii Nation exclusive.

Damn that sucks! Are there a lot of reports, like just as much as Yamato Macross valkys breaking?

Bbts just sold out of Wild Tiger.

there definitely have been a handful of reports, enough to deploy the Macross Panic Button LOL, so far the solution is this lube called the Shock Oil.

Crap, Wild Tiger got Tamashii'd! No!!!!!!!

Oh man, I had just finished watching Tiger & Bunny, WHAT A GREAT SHOW!!!!! I want more, I want so much more, but I love how they wrapped it up, I want to see more of how they are going to deal with Lunatic!!

I have 2 episodes left to watch. While the start didn't fill me with confidence, it just kept getting better and better. Will be sad when I finally do finish it up (probably tonight).

I've been pretty lazy on watching the show. Only watched the first two episodes back in October.

I like this show.
I managed to convince my friend to watch it, but only if I watch Toradora :lol

I wish I never cancelled my Figuarts. Ran low on funds and had to cancel the original two they released. :(

Watched this show right from the start, was shocked to stumble upon it on Hulu back when they only had like 5 episodes translated. Loved it immediately.

Well Wild Tiger at least is getting a reissue in April so better start setting aside for that! No doubt Barnaby will get one also given how fast these toys sold.

Other than the squeaky joints and the breakage (which none happened to me yet), they are some of the happiest purchases I've made, and looking forward to getting the rest of the gang (Come on Rock Bison!!).

"Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning" premieres this September! :)

Sweet! Am really looking forward to the movies, even if the first one is just a retelling.

Not to bring back a dead thread, but for the past 2 months or so i've been watching the show. At first i could only get an episode or two in due to end of term stuff but the past two weeks i've blasted (sort of) the last 18 or so episodes.

I was a bit unsure at first but then the main Jake arc happened and i was blown away. I took a few days off from watching it after that and then got back on it the past few days and wow, it really does just get better and better with twists and turns all over the place.

The only downside is that I now feel the need to track down the Figuarts =p

do it!!!!!!! they are awesome!!

Why the hell has Viz been taking so long with the damn BluRay? I hear the UK will get it in October meanwhile us stateside fans have to wait til early next year! I prefer watching on disc than streaming...=/

I saw on Wikipedia that someone had picked it up for Uk distribution, wasn't sure if it was actually out in any form and this answers that I guess =p

Still, when it does come out I will be all over it.

I love this show so much, I've watched it three times through now, can't wait for the dub! Speaking of which, apparently they aired a preview at AX 2012:

This is the first look at the upcoming stage show "Tiger & Bunny: The Live"

Its... frightening to see the characters this real.

^I agree... it's... odd to say the least.

Anyways, I drew up a new sig for here and TFW and I thought some readers of this thread might like it. The right side of the sig is so dearly underused, so Origami was a perfect fit. :lol

I finally got around to watching this a few months ago and I LOVED IT!. Great characters and story, and those last few episodes had me constantly on the edge of my seat. My only regret is it took me this long to see this series because I'm really behind on the Figuarts :lol.

February 19th for Viz Media release-

I recently picked up the first volume of the dub. Its pretty good as far as English releases go; can't wait to get the rest.


And on another note, I believe this is our first look at The Live stage show:

Set 2 Blu-ray is out next week! I'm not done with the 1st set yet, but I enjoy it. Pretty refreshing, simple plot but it's fun. Right now I like Kotetsu best. Origami Cyclone is funny too..what a weird dude.

By now there's quite a number of products out. Can anyone recommend figures and plamo? I did see a few pics of Tom's 12PM Wild Tiger and THAT THING LOOKS AWESOME! All those lights, plus, GOKIN JOINTS!

I am interested in getting Figuarts too. Definitely Wild Tiger. Maybe Bunny. I think Barnaby is okay so far, a bit arrogant for my liking however. I like Kotetsu because he's honest and is motivated for the right reasons. Sky High looks cool but he's a tool.

If you want the big one its on sale right now http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10197910

Really good price too.

Thanks man! Good price. WTF did it not sell well in Japan? Not complaining, more surprised if anything.

Also have any of you found the Blu Ray volume 2 anywhere? I went to Walmart but just saw the DVD.

Finished episode 4 or 5, the one where the "good luck" modes were revealed. I was weak when the scientist guy said they were just added to look cool.

I agree.

So..is Walmart(apparently only certain Walmarts at that...) the only brick & mortar place selling volume 2 on blu-ray?

Wow I didn't even know there was a Tiger & Bunny thread. FWIW, I have most of the Figuarts and the 12"PM Wild Tiger, and love them all. The Figuarts of Tiger and Barnaby you need to be careful with, they have the tight squeaky hip syndrome. If you rub dry bar soap on the joint it should make it okay. Not sure if they fixed that problem in later versions of Wild Tiger.

There's only 3 more versions of Wild Tiger in SH Figuarts right, movie, 1 minute, and the 1st episode Top Mag one?

There's seven versions just of the Figuarts! 6 of them being the same mold.

- Regular
- 1 Minute
- Masakazu Katsura Original Color version(this came with an artbook, it has a chest plate with no logos and has green shoulder pads)
- an open face plate exclusive that you could only get through a contest(there's only 3,000 made)
- Movie
- H-01(dark colors)
- Top Mag

Top it off with the 6" Figurerise, the 8" Figurerise, and the 12"PM and numerous trading figures! I think the 12"PM failed because of the sheer saturation of product for this.

Wow man never new about all those Figuarts versions, thanks for the info! What's the H-01 about, is that darker repaint based on a specific scene or something from the show? Eventually I think I'll track down the 12PM(looks amazing), regular Figuarts/or movie versions and the Top Mag one.

I can see why Bandai made a lot of Wild Tiger compared to the other characters, Kaburagi kicks ass! So far Barnaby seems like a dick

Explaining the H-01 would be a bit of a spoiler so you should probably wait to see it in the show.
