The two God Pheonix's are actually the first and second release of the same toy. The first issue was dark blue and came with the Firebird shell that could fit over the vehicle. The second issue was more of an aqua color (Unifive claimed that it was supposed to be a proper blue anime-coloring, but it's too green, making it look like the God Phoenix did when it was underwater) and came with a plastic Boomerang instead of the Firebird. No, the wings on the Boomerang did not move.

If you want the dark blue version with the Firebird, and don't mind it coming in a dented box, Mandarake has one for sale for $237.29, plus shipping. Sure, it's still not cheap, but it's better that $299.00, plus shipping! You can find it at:

I seem to recall those being a bit cheaper when they were first released Wink Beautiful things though, I have the dark blue version.

FB if you keep an eye out you can get the BOTP action figures at a reasonable price, especially if you're willing to live with no box. Also I saw this:

http://stores.ebay.com/RJRWRESTLINGS-STORE

This guy has Mark, Princess & Keyop figures in the box for $5 each. I'm sure he'd give you a discount on shipping if you bought all 3.

For some reason they didn't make very many Jason and Tiny, so they are the hardest to get. They sell for so much by themselves that I have found it cheaper to buy a big set that includes them.

Yes, they were. When first released, they retailed at 9,800 yen (Around $85.00). Of course, that was in late 2001 for the dark blue version and early 2003 for the aqua version. They've been unavailable at general retail for quite some time, hence the increase in price.

That's because of Diamond's mishandling of the first wave of figures. The first wave, with Mark, Princess, and Keyop, was overproduced, resulting in many of them sitting unsold or reduced to clearance prices. So they made far less of the Jason, Tiny, and Zoltar figures because the overproduction of the first wave resulted in lower retailer demand for the second wave.

Zoltar can be a bit easier to find because they made two versions of him (A regular version of him and a Previews Exclusive version of him that included a couple of unmasked heads you could use). The helmetless Jason figure ended up becoming part of one of the BotP DVD releases, and the helmetless Tiny figure was never produced.

You know, I have that Zoltar with the multiple heads, and it makes me laugh, since Zoltar wasn't really unmasked on BOTP! Unless you count the glimpse of blonde hair on the abominable snowman ep... Wink

Whoo hoo!

Go FB! You'll have to let us know what you think of the Er set!

And aren't the figures fun? Did you get the ones with the helmets? Or do you have unhelmeted Mark/Princess/Keyop?

The helmeted versions. Still wrapped in the packaging so I can appreciate them.

Watched a couple of ER episodes working on getting through them. Will let you know

(Forgotten how much I found that music annoying lol)

You think that music's annoying.... try watch G-Force! I don't mind the backbeat, but it's the same one over and over and over and over....

After you've finished the first 4 eps of ER, read this fic. You'll get a big kick out of it!
