Oh man, is every new Medicom figure on this forum a hate-fest? Hey everyone, let's tell the tired tale of how Medicom prices suck and how the stylized look is nothing compared to HT, for the three-billionth time!
That nude body type is a Medicom Fujiko Mine from Lupin the Third...
Some versions of the figure can be around 100 dollars US, but some can be as high as 3-4 hundred (going by what eBay has to offer)

I seriously don't want Hot Toys to start a new line of Star Wars figures, I only expect they play a bigger role in Sideshow's line, or they make the most popular characters and stop it there. But whatever the case, a fraction of the people at the forums will be satisfied.

While Patient Zero was rare, it appeared at Comic Con and anyone could buy them, whereas for the Akira figures, they were only offered via lottery and to those who were in line first. The figures are mind-bogglingly rare, and the only KANEDA figure is $3000. The military officers are virtually...
How I'd enjoy a 1/6 Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho. And Kuwabara. But I think Sideshow would have to step down. Medicom does do a great job with anime figures.
