Those are the nice ones, too! I have the Mediacom ones where the uniforms are baggy.

Ya Ebay I was waiting for a good price and ya I really don't like the ones with bagged uniforms I can get those ones anytime but the medicom japan ones are harder to get a hold of. Well this is the start of my collection so. Thanks.

Hi all!
I have the Mediacom ones where the uniforms are baggy.
Well, they're all the Medicom ones, since Medicom is the toy company that made them (As opposed to Mediacom, which is a cable company). What you have are the reissues done for Diamond and released in BotP boxes, while these are the original 1998 Japanese release. The BotP versions have a baggy look because, in the years between the original release and the reissue, Medicom changed the body style they used for their figures, shrinking the size of the hips and lower torso. When the Diamond figures were made, Medicom used their newer bodies, but made the uniforms off of the patterns from the original release, giving our heroes droopy drawers. Another nice thing about the figures you have here are that they are from the first wave of the original release, which included the bird head and 'G' symbol pins as a special bonus. James

Way better than the baggy style. In fact, I didn't realize there was a non-baggy style and would always just look right past them not knowing (Thanks always James!!! You Rockband ) But it was those pins that really caught my eye Eekdrool There's two of those Ken/Marc/Dirk (whichever one it's supposed to be, looks II) pins up at eB I've been looking at, so your pins really caught my eye. Going to make a movie or pose them in some action shots?

No I like to keep things boxed up.

Boxed enhances the resale value for collectors. Just keep any children away, because they don't understand that part.

Resale??? I already told my daughter that I want to be buried with my G-Force edition God Phoenix. And if she doesn't I will haunt her until it is where it should be Ghost2
