Already pre-ordered mine I can't wait for it to come. This figure looks great.

[Ultra_Henshin_Fan]

yup, pre-ordered as soon as I saw it. Pretty excited for it too.

Gamera will be released on March 31st as an exact street date. I'm pre-ordering it now. I also just got a MKG for under 1800Y.

[MandaSaurus]

Hope they re-paint and re-release one of those Gyaos from the same time as the original Gamera sculpt...

It'd probably be a new sculpt since this Gamera is a new sculpt

[UltramanGoji]

And also due to the fact that there isn't a 6" scale 95 Gyaos to repaint and re-release. The only 6" Gyaos vinyl is the Hyper design from Gamera 3.

[DirektorSplennic]

I'd love a new 6 inch Super Gyaos judging by how good this Gamera looks

Do you guys think it's worth risking not preordering? I don't know if this is a limited run or anything. I'd rather wait for it to hit ebay so I don't have to pay import fees.

It's not a limited run...I can buy it on Amazon.

It’s not a limited run but I’d probably preorder just to nab one before it gets too hard to find. Non-Japanese sellers will probably charge twice retail for it after release if new molds like Biollante are any indication.

[Thegarbagemonster]

Alright, thanks. I'll have to mull it over a while more....

It is? Wow. I thought it was just a re-paint...

[canofhumdingers]

Funny, I’d have thought with your eagle-eyed laser vision you’d have easily spotted all the new details in the sculpt.

Sorry, now that I re-read that it sounds meaner than I intended. But, man, you opened a door that was just so tempting I couldn’t help but walk through...

I have nothing to compare it to! Except for a few ParaBabies, I don't have any old vinyls. I started collecting them when the 2014 Goji and Winged MUTO came out...

That's kinda funny. You're older, but you collect the new vinyls. I'm much younger, but mainly collect vintage vinyls. The Yin and the Yang.

[MandaSaurus]

^ Ehh, the new ones cost less and are easier to get. I'm very budget-conscious...

Ah I see. Now that I think about it, it's not often I drop a ton of money on a vintage vinyl. In fact the last time I bought a vinyl was I think last summer. I guess it's kinda like a special occasion thing.

[JAGzilla]

I'm with Manda. Yes, the older vinyls look better, but if I can get ten of the new ones for the price of one old one... yeah, I mean that's what I'm usually going to do. A toy has to be pretty special for me to drop $100+ on it.

[LSD Jellyfish]

Has a comparison ever done between the old MKG and the new MKG? I'm noticing the older one is slightly darker.
