I see, hopefully you can talk her into it eventually and you can snag a Zoffy later on (and hopefully not for a crazy price)! Even though I've mentally committing to picking up more stuff from this line, I am still trying to limit myself to what genuinely appeals to me instead of my usual "Oh fuck it, I'll gobble it all up" route.

That's cool to hear about Jack too. I ended up getting one from eToys (I didn't decide to get Jack after all until well after the last AmiAmi stock was gone...doh) so I'm looking forward to getting a shipping notice and getting this in hand. The javelin and shield look pretty cool from pics.

Alright, this is weird, a post by Lbsam is showing as the latest in the thread, and I cannot get it to show up. Odd. Part of this post is to see if his will show up.

Anyway, unsurprisingly my wife did not go for the Zoffy... I have a line on Seven, and I may just take my lumps for Seven, though, heh.

Also, are we aware of any other stuff coming down the pike after Father, Taro, King Gridman, and Blue Nexus Junis? I was poking around he tamashii.jp site, and that was all of the Ultra Act stuff I could find... plenty of preorders avail for King Gridman, for what it's worth. If I got any of them it would be Thunder Gridman, personally.

Okay, this thread SHOULD be working now. It looks like a post was added to this thread from another, and from experience that temporarily screws around the visible posts on the last page.

Bandai has a full plate on their hands with the Sentai Figuarts this summer, and Ultra-Act has taken it easy in busier release periods either. It's not too surprising or worrying for it to happen again.

I had been wondering about this too. Maybe they can squeeze another rerelease or two in during the summer before new stuff starts up again? If not, at least it'll give me some time to catch up on things I've missed.

On the plus side, I received a shipping notice from eToys earlier today for Jack! This should be cool.

[Baltan II]

Oh, where reissues are concerned, they are rarely ever announced as far in advance as new releases. I'd say the odds of getting at least one brothers (or, unlikely, some kaiju) reissued in that period are good, if not guaranteed.

First off, thanks for fixing the thread, Baltan-seijin.

Jack is so cool. He's standing on my mantle right now and everytime he catches my eye I just end up grinning at how great he looks.

Yeah, I know with Zoffy, it seems that he was announced and then very shortly afterwards the preorders went up (and subsequently sold out).

At this point, I have Ultraman, Jack, and Leo, and Taro's on preorder from Amiami. So unless it's Seven, I'd probably pass on a reissue at the moment -- except for Ace, and even then it depends entirely on the price, as he can be found relatively easily on the secondary market.

Now I want to know: When are we going to get 80?!

Anyone got any good tips on a Heisei Ultraman to buy? I'm gonna be getting my first one and I want it to be one from the Heisei era and a really nice one.

I have heard good things about Dyna Flash Type as far as jointing and poseability. And he certainly is a Hesai era Ultra Hero.

Looks really good!

I like Dyna Flash Type a lot. Got him on sale a few months ago.
