Yet another interesting line coming out of Japan. These alloy metal figures are 8" tall and incredibly articulated. Can't wait to see the first release -- Darth Vader -- in April!

Looks interesting, not something i will buy but still cool.
-
They will probably very sturdy, but from that picture the realism looks to be between Hasbro and Sideshow in quality.
Hopefully they will have a nice assortment of characters and do at least a few well. Come on Hammerhead!
-
This is really interesting. I've got a weakness for 8 inch figures because I grew up playing with Mego figs. I only stopped when Kenner came out with SW figs in 78. Wonder how much it will be.

Blister.jp has the retail price listed at 13,440 yen so $110.00 US. Wholesale price is 11,420 yen or $95.00 US. Will have to wait to see if this will show up on HLJ or from RoBBy.jp.

There's a Boba Fett over at RebScum...

Yeah, so does G-Toys. :-*

For $110, I need it to look better than that. That's my Medicom price point. Hopefully some fool will flood the ebay market with these and they can be had for $60 or less. :-X

HLJ updates with a preorder for the Real Doll Collection Darth Vader (http://www.hlj.com/product/TMD31140). $99.81 US or $117.95 CDN.
Preorder this item by Feb. 6 to get it for 5% off the regular price of 12,800 yen!
HLJ is the winner thus far & hopefully RoBBY.jp will be that! ;D
-
Yikes!
For $100 I'll try and snag a Medicom RAH for a little more....
Everybody wants a piece of Star Wars..no matter how obscure..

Oops! Hee-hee!
Can't I even reference the company, without linking to them? Come on!
Anyway, sorry, Dale. You're a real doll, you know that?

Yep, you're a real doll too Matt. :-*
So Robby.jp has a preorder up for the Real Doll Vader. Wholesale 8320yen or $69.23 US or $81.84 CDN.
Winner... RoBBy.

$80CDN, that seems reasonable, even after adding shipping.
BBTS has it listed as a May release, HLJ will start accepting preorders in March, but RoBBy will only accept orders until Feb 12th, so I'd better make up mind quickly if I want the best deal.

All great places to deal with Jesse, I won't be getting one but if I did I would go with RoBBy. This Vader is a must for your focus. ;)
-
I had finally decided to bite the bullet and order one of these from Robby.jp, but once they contacted the manufacturer, I was told I had to order a minimum of 6. At $80 a piece, I had to pass because I didn't want to get stuck with them. :(
-
I totally forgot about these. The Vader looks good, but i don't think i will bite at that price. I would like to see the Boba Fett which may get my interest a little more. I just need to tell myself i dont need these.
-
Starwarsshop.com has the Vader and a Boba Fett up for sale--both $99.99 each before shipping costs. They look interesting. Lots of parts and articulation. I'm going to pass, though...just can't justify getting sucked into another line.
-
I saw the Boba Fett and really like it, but at that price tag i can't justify buying it.
-
I found a new 12" Darth Vader figure from Tomy-Direct. This thing is just awesome!! Looks highly detailed, and with a ton of extras. The best feature is the posable metal body. It reminds me of the unproduced Vader Marmit figure

I look forward to your pics. I've been wanting one of these for a very long time but haven't been able to convince myself that it was worth the cost.

Being a child of the seventies and having had 8" Megos the Darth Vader intrigued me, but I passed on it because of the inaccurate helmet. Lucasfilm had this line produced as part of the 2007 30th Anniversary Collection. I didn't know about the Boba Fett until recently. Finding info about this line was pretty sparse but the Boba looked good enough to take a chance on - especially since I have really enjoy my Medicom RAH Boba Fett. The only problem I've had with the RAH is that I'm terrified to touch it for fear of snapping a hip joint. Not a problem for this bad boy though, that little die cast metal body is solid as a rock.
Rather odd scale, 20 cm/7" not too much else to scoop accessories from. Well here are some pics.
