Judging by the google fu I just did, it did happen for Kabuto actually. All the other Tamashii products for March went up the end of October last year, but according to the previous posts in this thread Kabuto went up nearly a month later.

You mean a month earlier right? But we have to wait & see till the middle of this month to see whether or not Hibiki gets a special early pre-order release. Also my order is now in the warehouse getting prepared to ship, I went ahead & cancelled my other order which had Blue Spader, 2 of the Saint Cloth Myth EX Display Stage packs *I need some display stands for the riders that do jumping in the air rider kicks but I only need one pack for now*, & Sailor Mars *which isn't on topic, but it was part of an order I want. I went ahead & cancelled it, lo & behold I had enough money for King Form & I also added one Saint Cloth Myth EX Display Stage pack, they are separate orders though :lol.

Nope, a month later. I googled the preorder dates for other figures released in March (namely SRC Genesic GGG and D-Arts Noel Vermilion), and both came up as October 31st. Meanwhile searching back in this thread for when Kabuto went up for preorder it came up with 20th November.

So while there is a pattern for preorder dates, that (along with the Gaim example I mentioned earlier) proves it isnt always set in stone).

Oh okay :p.

If that is true then I am totally ready for another Iron Man figure, although, I don't think Iron Man is considered to be Toku.

It's not actually, if it was, there would be threads about Marvel stuff in the main forums.

Well King Form shipped aswell as the Saint Cloth Myth EX Display Stage, now I need Garren, Blade Ace Form, & Kyoryu Red to ship & the first of this months haul will be complete, then Kabuto Renewal will be sometime end of this month early next month :D.

Yes my first order has now been shipped, YES :D!!!!!!! You guys can probably tell how fucking excited I am right now :lol :lolol.

Cool I think the Mk 42 could make a great SHF. Oh and the movie Iron Man most definitely qualifies as Toku.

" Tokusatsu (特撮?) is a Japanese term that applies to any live-action film or television drama that features considerable use of special effects (tokusatsu literally translates as "special filming" in Japanese)."

Just like ALL animation IS Anime.

That is the literal definition sure. But Iron Man and live action western super-heroes of that nature have never been considered tokusatsu in the traditional sense by this site. They aren't "henshin heroes" in the same way that Riders and Sentai are. Hence why discussion of related figures to the IM franchise goes into the SHF-Non-Toku Thread in General Discussion.

Given how many times this subject has showed up I'm starting to think we need an Iron Man disclaimer. :lol

No we need a comic book hero disclaimer :lol.
