Something just occured to me. When the Gatch movie hits next year, We might actually get to have some gatch t shirts and hats and action figures and allllllll kinds of goodies..... Don't get me wrong. I've wanted a Gatch t-shirt since I was 14, but I'm a little worried that the powers that be will ruin our beloved show by flooding the market with all this merch. It might make it lose some of the magic. How are youse guys prepared to handle all these fairweather fans that come about, and act like they know everything about Gatch cause they saw the movie 20 times? For all we know, the movie could be the biggest flop ever. But it won't. It'll win the Academy Award fot the best movie ever made. Ever. Knock wood. We don't know what kind of impact this movie will have. But I'm just going off. Don't mind me. Let me know what you think.....

But then maybe ti will attract the closet fans...the ones that don't want admit openly that they love BOTP/Gatch...I bet they are the ones that read the fan fiction but don't register on the sites... Tone you maybe surprised...

I do wonder how much of an increase in traffic the fansites will have...and i don't care about fairweather fans...we know who the true gatchamaniacs are. As far as merchandise goes...I can't wait! I am really hoping the numbered shirts come back...I want a #3! Then, all I'll need are the ugly striped bellbottoms...lol

I just want a Condor Joe hat. Thats all. Maybe a Katse T-shirt too... And I would totally buy the action figures.. And yes, I WOULD play with them. I've been waiting forever to play with some Gatch toys...lol I'm such a dork...

I too am looking forward to getting my hands on some merchandise. I do not want to pay over seas shipping costs etc for some of those items. Like the numbered shirts.

Im going to have FUN Im already predicting the Second Comming of Condor Joe on other sites. (we know its going to happen...I can say what I like, cant I?) We can look all initiated and smug in from of the Great UnNumbered and say "I have been waiting for this since 1978" we can.

TJ showed me her #1 shirt when she was here and it is so cool, and I want one too...I'll get number #1 & 3!!!

we have been waiting a long time indeed....

Some much longer than others ...... Youngster.

I'm hoping it'll generate enough interest that Gatch II and F, will be released on DVD - and not just in Japan either!!! Then maybe the entire BoTP series... I'm thinking merch-wise it'll be like Star Wars. Tons of new stuff flooding the market. Hey, maybe Burger King will bring back the collector glasses (or was that McDonald's??). I'd love to collect all 5!

I can see us all rushing off for kiddies Happy Gatchaman meals at Macca's!!! LOL I'm hoping it will make them release G2 & fighter in English as well Hino

I would love the see these series on DVD as well Hino.

I want any and all merchandise. I want new fans. I don't care if they think they know it all... if they stick around they will see that they don't. ANY publicity is good publicity!

Yeah bring em on!!!! The more fans the more likely we are going to get the shows translated into English and teh merchandise!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I predict...lots of merchandise and fantastic movie that they want to make a sequel too because it's so popular !

Ooooh... I didnt think abut Gatch 2 and f.... More food for thought...

Ahh! But only if she wears them together.

How would you do that? Would you stitch two halves of the shirt together to make one, or would you just wear one over the other??

When I first read the title of this thread I thought ...oh sh*t! LOL I would love any and all merch and a full bank account to buy the stuff with! I'm still trying to track down the DVD box sets!

So maybe that's why Jun and Ken were never together!

You know a thought on this. Ken is said to be of Japanese descent, correct? And Jun? Then they would be of the Japanese opinon that 13 is a lucky number, not an unlucky number. So they would want the 1 and 3 to be together to make 13.

FTR, Numbers 2 and 3 were completely sold out. Otherwise I'd have them too and there'd be a threesome every night in my PJ drawer!!!!
