I hope they don't. I want a new one that can wear a mantle... otherwise I sold mine for nothing.

A retool would work as well. I mean that's what they did with Ultraman, right? At least I know they retooled him to be able to hunch over some more.

As it is I am looking at an Ultraseven for about 100, which is the best price I have seen on him. And that's kinda insane... but he's Ultraseven! He's "crucial!" But that's a big chunk of change for a family man like me.

I mean, I understand why someone like Astra is so hard to find at a good price, he's a relatively minor character and all. But Ultraseven is a major character, arguably the most popular Ultra (heck, arguably the most popular Kyodai Hero), and a major player in the current Ultra stuff as the hero's father. Why the heck can't we get a nice re-release or retool of Ultraseven?

I'm happy to get Taro. VERY happy to get Taro. And I am super excited about my Leo coming in the mail. But I would have much preferred to see a revised or reissued Ultraseven than someone like Father of Ultra. As cool as Father is, Ultraseven deserves more love, I think.

No way, Ultraman is an entirely new figure.

And maybe you should look elsewhere if you want Sebun...

Where would you suggest? That's the best price I have been able to find for him. With my DVDs being delivered from Amazon today I suspect I will want an Ultraseven soon enough...

Patience is a virtue. In due time we'll get a new one.

Yeah, I know. Right now I am content to have Leo in transit. Well, that and my vinyl monsters but that's another thread!

That was supposed to be alluding to a CERTAIN SIGNATURE which is entirely useless if I don't have him listed for sale!

I figured that was what you were alluding to, so I clicked on your signature and looked around... and then was confused, heh!
