I don't know about the rest of you guys but I was watching Robot chicken and Saw the "enter the Fat One " bit and thought "Tranzor Z YES". we need an EMCE TranzorZ and shogun warriors (Not to mention KA-SHOCK - "Ultraman ULTRAman ULTRAMAN!")

any one else interested

I think what you saw was a Henshin Cyborg Mazinger-Z. Mech-a.com (http://www.mech-a.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=723&osCsid=65422ed2c62b919b69717281a08c366a)

Although I agree, a legitimate 8" Ultraman Mego-style figure would be nice, (Working on a custom one right now, actually.) as well as a few other core 70s anime & tokusatsu characters like the Gatchaman team & villains, Spectreman, Inframan (although he's Chinese), Speed Racer.

Hmmmm.... I've been wanting an 8" UltraSeven. Since I've finally seen the show, and noticed how much time he spent at human size....

>Gatchaman team & villains, Spectreman, Inframan (although he's Chinese), Speed Racer.

Y'know.... I have a Galactor/Spectra team in the works right now. (I haven't figured out how to do the costumes: do I want a printed jumpsuit sorta thing, or do I want to make the shoulder and chestplates raised like a flakvest....) I also have a Spectreman and Inframan in the planning stages. And no plans for a Speed Racer, but I have drawn up plans for a Mach 5. (Kromedome needs a new ride.)

... but if some company wanted to produce these figures, it'd save me a LOT of work.

I'd love to see some of these as well, but I don't know how easy it would be to get the necessary licensing (some Japanese companies are a bit of a PITA to deal with and/or ask for unrealistic fees)

I'd go nuts for an 8" SpectreMan, he has a cult following thanks to his syndicated run in North America and we're all Mego aged too, hmmmmmm.

Jason and I love this stuff.... It's definitely something we would like to do... Given the licensing hurdles, we may end up shooting for more generic/original Henshin style figures (Denys Fisher style) at first... Though Inframan is near and dear to my heart:animal-smiley-034:

I'm really Glad to See I am not the only one and I would also be OK with Henshin /Generic type also

I would LOVE to see Battle of the Planets figures and would buy them in a heartbeat, if done well, like the Popy ones.

Would anyone else buy any and all Kinnikuman Mego figures?

I wholeheartedly would!
