Title: 8" Metal Hyper Hero Real Action Doll Collection

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!

Post by: R5Don4 on January 28, 2007, 11:38 AM: 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!

Post by: speedermike on January 28, 2007, 08:03 PM: 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.

Post by: DSJ™ on January 28, 2007, 08:15 PM: 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.

Post by: R5Don4 on January 29, 2007, 11:33 PM: 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

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?

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.

Post by: DSJ™ on February 7, 2007, 12:31 AM: 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. ;)
Title: Re: 8" Metal Hyper Hero Real Action Doll Collection
Post by: JesseVader08 on May 22, 2007, 05:10 AM: 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. :(
Title: Re: 8" Metal Hyper Hero Real Action Doll Collection
Post by: evenflow on May 22, 2007, 08:30 AM: 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.
Title: Re: 8" Metal Hyper Hero Real Action Doll Collection
Post by: gasman034 on June 16, 2007, 01:25 AM: 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.
Title: Re: 8" Metal Hyper Hero Real Action Doll Collection
Post by: evenflow on June 16, 2007, 09:09 AM: I saw the Boba Fett and really like it, but at that price tag i can't justify buying it.
Title: New Tomy-Direct Darth Vader Figure AWESOME!!!
Post by: sithtoys on September 26, 2007, 12:06 PM: 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

Here is the link to the site:

I have a few on the way, I will post some pics when they get in.

Post by: JesseVader08 on September 28, 2007, 02:10 AM: 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.
Title: Re: 8" Metal Hyper Hero Real Action Doll Collection
Post by: R5Don4 on May 31, 2009, 01:44 PM: 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.
