Storm Collectibles Gatchaman license (a.k.a. Battle of the Planets)

[kyekye]

I was excited when I heard Storm Collectables grabbed the license back in April.


And few days ago I saw this prototype pics..





I don't know.. Maybe they can save it if they replace the cape with thin vinyl sheet? (like old Medicom?) or cloth?
And maybe they fix the shoe tip?
They are sitting on Fist of North Star license and now this....
I don't know man....

I’m keen but not looking like it’s happening anytime soon.

I have been waiting for the day this goes up for Pre-order but fear it's going the same way as their Fist of the North Star license & we'll never see the bloody thing

Maybe the old fans of these franchise all got too old or dried out!
The lack of interest on this page says it all in a way.
Or maybe this forum is not so Anime/Manga focused and we are just barking at the wrong forum..

Yeah sadly think we are the dying breed here
Shame as I love the Anime...was the first I ever saw & quality figures like this are something I've dreamed of for years
Just hope that we do see them one day

that cloak gonna limit the articulations lol.

 

[Gatchaman]

New image just popped on Storm's Instagram... looks like that cape is still odd.

Finally, glad to see there is still some hope for this one
Was really beginning to think this was a lost cause but seems like we'll finally get him...hope we get the rest now too

Excited for this line. I just hope they complete the team in a timely manner like they did for Gollden Axe.

This is awesome news

Just waiting for him to go live on my preferred sellers site

Can't wait to get him & hope the rest of the team aren't far behind

Is this based on a reboot or something? Because that headsculpt doesn’t look like Ken in the slightest.

 

[Gatchaman]

I think it’s based on the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: computer game.

 

[KillKen]

Preordered sweet!

 

[kyekye]

Not liking the way they handled the cape, but still pre-ordered.
BTW, Please keep in mind that this is 1/12 scale action figure.

Pre-ordered my one today
So excited to get this

Hoping the finish the run. Would have preferred a set of 5 and pay a bit more.

If you have Amazon music, can ask Alexa to " play battle of three planets theme song" instrumental without the announcer

Soooo should we be worried this was a no show at SDCC?

I was a bit surprised it was not shown to be honest
But I was even more let down that they haven't shown us anymore of the team
They go all out on loads of other stuff & yet not a murmur on this line...they even had more Gears of War stuff & I thought that was already a dead line
I fear this is going to go the way of their Fist of the North Star line at this rate & we'll get nothing at all

That would suck immensely!
