I have a few pieces I got from my visits to Japan that I don't see on the web often...not too poseable...as well as some American released pieces.

I do have all the DVD's that were released of all the episodes with the Alex Ross Covers to each case.

I have more interesting pieces for Lupin, Harlock, and Yamato...all together, my 4 most favorite Anime/Mangas.

...forgot about Galaxy Express and Queen Millenia...

I would love to see pics of your collection Tom!

I don't know why Lupin was never as popular here in North America... I guess the others had a leg up in that Star Blazers and BotP were translated (was Harlock syndicated in English? I always saw it in French)

I first ran across the character here as a kid playing the video game Cliffhanger. Not realizing until years later that it used clips from the animated movie directed by my all time favourite animator, Hayao Miyazaki.

I have vague recollections of this series from early childhood. I recall really liking it, but I think I called them "Bird People". I remember ads for their comic in a few of my Disney comics of the day. I remember thinking the bad guy looked like an evil Batman.

I remember when I was a teen they were reaired here as G-Force. I've never really tried to get into the storyline, but I still really love the designs.

I would have killed for one of those lunchboxes when I was a kid. I don't think anyone in my school had that.

I have a God Phoenix Model Kit that I bring to the Meet each year. It's a motorized kit and has never been put together. If I can find a pic of it I'll post it.

What's the opinion on Gatchaman 2 and Gatchaman Fighter? (AKA Eagle Riders to some)

Did folks like the OVA series? I really liked it when I got 100th generation fan sub back in the day, and the flood of new merchandise was a plus.

Emeraldknight and myself were discussing this last night. And we both feel that BOTP and '67 Spiderman have some of the best event music/scores in animation history. Just beautiful pieces of work that lend so much to the viewing experience.

Hoyt Curtain did the BOTP Soundtrack, the guy pretty much wrote every memorable Saturday morning theme in the 1970s.

He also had two songs appear in Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space!

one of my favorite cartoons! have most the popy vehicles and figures for these guys as well as the 6 inch figures from diamond. i love the ceiji sculpt of mark/ken.

thought about getting the newly released fewture die cast vehicles but it's too much money!!
