He is also up for preorder at Anime Export (where I got my preorder in).

Thanks again guys... I am still finding my way around this place.... [quote][i]Originally posted by ChrisW[/i] They're doing just Ken and Joe. This is a Tatsunoko series and so far Gatch is the only show where they're doing more than one figure so I'm trying to count myself lucky. There's a TON of Gatchaman stuff (not that I'm trying to talk you into collecting a bunch of it :) ). You really can't understand the scale unless you look on the Japanese auction sites. It helps to have the kanji for Gatchaman, I keep it in a file: ガッチャマン There was a lot more made in Japan (and Korea, and ...) than was made in the US. There was also stuff made for France, etc. You can see my collection here, I started with just figures and have been trying to branch out for variety: [URL]http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/cwwriter/library/GatchCollection?sort=3&page=1[/URL] You can also find more on eBay and whatnot if you search on "Battle of the Planets," since there were things released for that as well, though not so much in the US until 1996 when they brought out the comics and figures.[/quote] Woah. Awesome collection. I will keep all that in mind, thanks. I guess that I am really looking at the high end stuff. I dont want a massive collection of stuff as I just dont have the space these days, but sa couple of really nice pieces would be fantastic..... I can kind of see myself getting more and more into this, though.... which is a little scary! :sweating2:

Wow. Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. I have wanted one of the Fewture Phoenix pieces for a long time, but the price is prohibitive and they are not going to get any cheaper now.... so I might need to wait for a rerelease for that. When the Sentinel figures popped up it seemed like too good an opportunity to miss, and I really hope that the entire team gets done in the same scale. It would make an awesome display. I think right now, I will focus on those, as I dont want to go crazy on buying stuff, but I always loved the vehicles as a kid! It seems like there isnt a whole lot of Gatchaman merchandise out there (especially compared to Transformers!) but I am happy to take it slow and grab anything that looks too cool to pass up. In the meantime, I should go and watch the original cartoon, I guess!

Hi guys. Just thought that I should throw up an introduction thread.... I have always been a fan of Gatchaman, after growing up with Battle of the Planets on TV and a few of the toys as a kid, and following it back to the original series later in life. I am a massive Transformers and Macross collector, but never really got into the merchandise of Gatchaman. I always wanted to, but never knew where to start. Then.... The Sentinel Ken figure went up for pre-order, and that was the last straw. So, thats now on pre-order, and I am looking forward to the next one. Hopefully this is just a start of a new collection for me.
