So very, very jealous of that He-Man hardcover!

As for me, I forgot this guy had even shipped. 01 is a beautiful figure with, at least on mine, perfect paint apps and detailing. One of these days, I really need to get around to watching Kikaider in some form or other.

It is the BEST art book man. So very complete and inclusive. Just everything you could want and more. The LE that I have comes in that Castle Grayskull slipcase (the drawbridge locks the case shut, you have to open it to get the book out! awesome!) and includes a limited edition print too.

Oh, man, that sounds amazing! I've really got to track one down now, price be darned. Didn't you get the Voltron art book, too? I always meant to ask how that was and if it's limited strictly to GoLion stuff.

Yeah I have the Voltron book too, it's more of a history book than anything but it has some rare pieces of preliminary designs I hadn't seen before. Also contains an official epilogue to that canned Voltron Force show.

How is the He-Man book? I've been thinking about whether or not I really want it.

It's really really great. In my opinion the Limited Edition one I have there is totally worth it. The Grayskull packaging has a drawbridge that acts as a lock to keep the book in the outer slipcase. Then inside of the inner slipcase is the book itself, and an exclusive print that's bound.

As far as the contents go it's incredible. One of the most complete books of this nature I've ever seen. We're talking original prototype images, original artwork, scans of trademark documents, etc etc. It covers every era up to current DC He-Man as well. Just a great book. The LE retails for $129.99, I got it for wholesale price but for what it includes I can't deny it's probably worth full price.

Eeee!

He's perfect. Literally perfect. Which kinda makes me sad too because I wish Kikaider had been as good

Scored this little guy at Wizard World pihli.

I was looking for Drive TKs but ended up with this guy. Cool suit though.
