Medicom Speed racer

[lcummins]

I don't know... it's too tall or something... Speed was kinda short.

Any ordering sites yet???

It and the Royal Guard are not even up on the major Japan sites yet... probably be a few days, if not a few weeks.

Wow, they got Emile's likeness down (but Medi's paint deficiencies are gonna hurt).

Not a fan, though so I'll probably pass.

Is there a 1/6 Speed Racer car to go with him?

I'm sure by the time the movie hits, there will be...

Great pics here. This looks really nice.

I saw a large Mach 5 and Mach 6 at Target....I wonder what scale those were....they were about $35....

 

[P@CK@R@CK]

Not interested but a good likeness. Medi figures pose so naturally.

 

[gatchatom]

Very cool!! I wish they had done a version of the classic head. Does anyone have shots with the helmet on?

 

[IrishJedi]

No real interest in the property, but this looks like a fine figure.

 

[Amanaman]

I don't care for the property either, but I'd take an anime version over this.

I don't think the helmet will go on his head.


From the Medicom product page...

ABS-made helmet included! (被せるcan not)

For some reason it won't translate that one word, but I'm thinking it is "wear", so "can not wear" or something like that. But I'm not sure... we need someone who can read Japanese to let us know.

 

[galactiboy]

That would be pretty weak if he can't wear the helmet... if thats the case hopefully he'll at least come with a 2nd helmeted head.

 

[mindbook]

What's this I hear......He can't wear the helmet???
That's a deal breaker.........Not interested.

 

[piccolodaimaoh]

Figure looks great, I would also love a version from the 60's Anime, maybe just another head but in the Anime style since the uniform and everything else are pretty Anime accurate.
As much as I would like to see a Matthew Fox Racer X figure I really want a Anime Racer X figure. I want a Racer X figure in the Anime style more than a Speed.

 

[galactiboy]

It would be a good move if they could include anime style heads as a bonus... I think that would appeal to the widest audience.

 

[Bardoon]

I won't be getting it but looks great! I'm sure Speed Racer fans will be happy to get him.

Wonder if there's a 1/6 scale compatible Mach 5 to go with him.

 

[carbo-fation]

Looks very good! The likeness is great as well. Not sure if I am a big enough Speed Racer fan to warrant this purchase.

Yeah there is.

I've had the car on pre-order for a while. As for the figure, I'll just switch the Mattel outfit onto a Dragon body and add the gloves.
