Medicom 220

[palitoy]

I finally broke down and bought one of these the other day (beer + ebay= surprise packages). It's pretty great but more in scale with Mego Flash Gordon or Big Jim. What I like is that they made a lot of the bad guys, even the henchmen, so I'll be picking one or two of these up a year methinks.

Beer & eBay .... that ALWAYS results in a discussion with the wife around my parts

Even with the scale difference, I really like the look.

It's a great figure. I'm glad I bought it. It came with a pile of extra stuff as well, Riderman has this "inspector gadget" quality about him.

I like the RAH 220, tho some of my bodies are a bit wonky. I had thought of converting some of them to mego, especially ones like this which are basically on blow molded statues.

Look at the casual block in that first photo! I guess Dr. Zaius' Kung Fu IS the best.
What do these suckers cost?

is this in the same scale as their Green Hornet and Kato?

Yes sir they are!

These are great figures, like Brian says there are tons of villains in the line. I've owned a few at one time or another. The only things to look out for is the joints can be fragile, and if there is any kind of vinyl deco on the outfit it tends to crack and flake off over the years (I had a Kamen Rider villain, Hasumi Jaguar, who had that issue with his outfit).

Brian, next time I take the trip over there I'll ask you which ones you are looking for. They can often be found for cheap at the used toy stores in Japan, I've seen many for about $10-20 a pop MIB.

1/8th eye candy! Is that a true yellow Zauis fu in action? :P

How far back to do these go and are they still expanding the line?

someone posted this on an old thread....


I saw this one recently, didn't realize it was part of the 220 series!
