Easy when they had 100 or less for sale to begin with. These aren't their properties, just distributing them. I'm just glad I got the opportunity to get them here in the States without paying import fees.

I'd still pay retail for the Elektra, while my trading partner would pay retail for the Gizmo.

 

[tylerdurden]

gizmo is just too cute!

I wish I knew they were going to be offered in this newsletter. I didn't think anything was going to be in the newsletter that I wanted, I logged in a little later then usual. I am depressed as it is about the lack of Gremlins merchandise

I know what you mean. These don't look like a limited item though, so if you got on the wait list, you should get one in February.

gizmo is just too cute!

Agreed

 

[spidermonkey]

I picked up both of these, they are awesome looking.

 

[Superman]

I got them both from that other store that still had them in stock.

 

[DannieDarKo]

I cancelled Stripe but keeping Gizmo. I scored the Alamo Drafthouse Gremlins poster print instead.

 

[chris rankin]

I don't understand why these are only coming out now for pre-order. I have had Stripe for about 10 months. Maybe he was released in Europe first.

here is the link to my collection. sorry it is not a good pic

Jun Planning Files for Bankruptcy in Japan

Maker of figures, character goods suspends operations with Y3.2-billion debt


According to the Teikoku Databank financial research firm, the Japanese figure and character goods maker Jun Planning suspended operations on April 30 and prepared to file for bankruptcy. It was 3.2 billion yen (about US$33 million) in debt. The company was established in 1983 to produce and distribute plush toys and figures of anime characters and animals. Among its popular offerings were character goods based on Death Note, Hayate the Combat Butler, Kuro____suji, Shakugan no Shana, The Familiar of Zero, and Black Lagoon.

Jun Planning recorded 3.6 billion yen (US$37 million) in sales during the fiscal year ending in March of 2007, but its sales dropped and its financing options worsened as consumer spending slumped. Jun Planning shut down its American operations in the same week that it suspended operations in Japan.
