I'm really tempted, I kinda want to get into the coins, but I don't like how the chip is visible thru the plastic, and I'm not sure I want to go to the effort to disassemble them and paint the inside. Hmmm.

I just got my OOO Driver today(pics tomorrow as it's quite late) I made a belt so it's actually wearable, and I did exactly that to all of my medals, I painted the insides silver. It's totally worth it.

[ryan]

Just silver? Is that all that needs to be done to make them look nice? Can you point me to some pics?

My other reason for not getting into the medals is that I have no desire for the belt, or any other OOO role play toy. I just like coins/medals.

I took this one yesterday, so the medals that came with the belt are not in it.

[ryan]

Right then. Guess i need to start a medal collection.

One last off topic question. Are those all DX medals? Those are the ones that are sold in three packs, or with the DX Role play toys, right? Do I want to bother with gashapon medals?


Oh, and I got this in the mail and at Walmart last night.

Yes they are all DX medals. They are sold in medal sets 1, 2, 3, 4, SP, EX, and in the OOO Driver and TaJa Spinner. Many people opted to skip the TaJa Spinner and got Gashapon versions of Kujaku and Condor. I do not own any Candy Toy or Gashapon medals, but I do know that gashapon can serve as a decent substitute since the rings are also die cast, the only difference being the design on the back. I think only the DX medals have the lines on the back like on the show.

If you want only medals and aren't interested in the role play toys, I suggest you save up and get the premium collection. You get all the Cores as well as all the Cells. Expensive as hell, but looks totally worth it. I believe there are a couple sets on Mandarake for 11,000-12,000 yen. Which is quite cheap, I forget what their original cost is, but I saw ebay listings for $500+. Heres a couple of preview pics.

[ryan]

Yeah, I've looked at pictures of the Premium set, and I want it, but I'm not going to be able to afford, or justify, that much for a long time. So I'll go for the cheaper ones for now.
Thanks for the info.
