Hi all! Wasn't someone here looking for the Dark Version of the Cool Girl Jun for less than $100.00? One just came up for auction on Yahoo! Japan with a starting bid price of 4,800 yen. http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g72631061 The auction ends on the 19th, and there's no telling how the price may rise between now and then, but you might want to keep an eye on it if you're interested. James

So, noob question here, sorry ^^;; Is this a version of Jun that actually appears in the series or is this merely promotional?

Nothing wrong with noob questions... I know she doesn't appear that way in Gatch I, but I can't speak for Gatch II or Gatch F.

Hi all! The Dark Version of Jun is an original concept created by Takara, and does not come from the TV series. When they did the reissues of the Cool Girl Jun and Cool Girl Cutey Honey figures in 2006, they decided to produce "Alternative" versions of both characters. For Cutey Honey, that was Honey in her civilian clothes, and for Jun is was her in a black version of her regular outfit. Personally, I wish they'd done Jun in her civilian clothes as well, rather than doing the "Dark Version." Apparently that was an idea they had considered, but the Cool Girl designers decided against it because they felt she looked too much like a "fashion doll." James

I was the one looking for a cheaper Cool Girl Jun in black. Thanks for the link, James! I'll keep an eye on it!

You will have to let us know if you get it TJ. And then keep it hidden if I come to visit.

What does noob mean?

I think it's derived from "newbie," but I could be wrong.

Yes, it is. noob = newbie

Hi all!, In case anyone cares, Jun sold for 7,005 yen. James

I wish i could have bid! I was trying to figure out how those auctions worked and got lost. So I finally figured out that I'd have to get an agent to bid for me and that upped the cost substantially. Gr.... Thanks for pointing it out for me, though, James. I appreciate that you were thinking of me.

Hi all! Another Cool Girl Jun Dark Version for less than $100.00 has been listed on Yahoo! Japan. It can be found at: http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k112506715 Like the previous one, you'd have to use a proxy service to bid on it, but I'll leave that decision up to you. James

Oh, tempting... but by the time I pay fees to the proxy service... I'll definitely keep an eye on it! Thanks, James!

Knackers to Takara! SJ had the idea on the Clubhouse a good two or three years before this version was released. There's artwork there someplace to prove it.

Hi all!

As I said, I'll leave that decision up to you. Regardless, I figured you'd be interested in knowing that a second figure, with a lower starting bid price, as also been listed. I can be found here: http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n72037500 James

Thanks James, it is tempting.

You are sooo bad for my wallet, James! But very sweet.

Hey everyone I found a Dark Version of Jun starting at $24.50 on eBay. The web link is not working for me so you can either copy and paste or search GATCHAMAN on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/CY-Girls-Cool-Girl-Gatchaman-Dark-Version-MIB-1-6_W0QQitemZ120365120547QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item120365120547&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Thanks, Condorfan! That's definitely in my price range!

if you get it TJ, be sure to put a couple of "intersting" pics online for us.

Hi all! The auction ended with Jun selling for $82.66. James

That's a fair bit higher than the original $24.50. Does she belong to anyone here now?

Almost... I big up to $60 and was outbid about an hour before the final sale. Still, it went for about $100 when you add in the shipping cost, and that's too much for me.

Hi all! Considering she cost around $100.00 at retail when she was first released, without postage, that's not bad! James

Sorry you lost the bidding war TJ.

I'm also sorry you lost in the bidding, TJ. That always seems to happen to me--someone at the last second gets the bid in. I have heard of snipe services but don't know who to contact to use one.

Awe hugs TJ.... next time you'll get in before the Condor does. apparently he used the winnings from his last race to buy the black Swan doll... (He likes that version of her apparently....)
