Action-toys coming to the U.S.

[JustJack]

Hi Everybody.

Welp...Adult Swim is officially popular...and if not popular, then it has a high enough cult status which offers us, the fans, toys and goodies.

But PLEASE...PLEASE...for the love of God, this IS NOT a "what AS toys do we want to see?" Thread. This is a "AS toys ACTUALLY IN EXISTANCE" thread. Yeesh.

Anywho. Medicom has a new "stylish collection" Spike Spiegel figure coming out sometime this year...but knowing our fabulous distributers in America, it probably wont show up stateside till 2004. :rolleyes:
Also, Diamond is going to release the 12" figure series of Lupin III figures to coincider with the anime release. WOO! Finally, Lupin figures I can get without having to order it online....but then again...chances are I'll never find them, then be forced to order them online anyway. Aww...the hell with it. I'll just buy them online now...

Also, has anyone seen that bobbly head Carl, yet? I hear it exists, and have been told its amazing tale...but I have yet to see any proof of it's existance. Maybe it's just a figure of some balding fat guy...they all look alike.

well i, for one, do not believe that there is such a thing as the carl bobblehead... first off, the creators even denied its existence... second, the first person who mentioned it was reluctant to say anything about it other than he got it at spencer gifts.... no packaging details or anything... third, every bobblehead company has been contacted and all their websites searched to no avail..

I have the Spike Figures (doll and Action)

they're both really nice... and I'll probley also pick up Movie Verison Spike when I see it..


There are figres for Trigun out there.. Vash, Wolfwood, Meryle and Monev The Gale.. Also a 12" Vash Doll.

IF Labs is currently putting out Yu Yu Hakusho figures..

and there is an excellent set of Inu Yasha figures...

My friend has a really kick-ass Lupin figure from when she went to Japan this past year. It has like a million different joints as well.

Of course, all of the Adult Swim Action shows have some sort of merchandise in Japan. The ASC stuff will be harder to find...

So far, all I know of is the Master Shake Air Freshener and the stuff on the Cartoon Network site.

I don't know if these count as action figures, but my local comic book store sells sets od "Trigun" Kubricks. For those who don't know what those are, picture the little guys that come with Legos, only higher quality.

Ahhh yes. I'd count Kubricks as action figures....indeed.

The first series of Yu Yu figures are neat and all...but the articulation sucks just soooo much...I can't wait for series 2. Propper articulation.

Inu Yasha has figures, but no action figures. That's what pisses me off....I want a 12" fully articulated Inu-Yasha, complete with big tetsusaiga, and the small rusty version. Then again...if he was 12", they'd probably give him "real" hair...nah. I'll stick to a 6" plastic sculpted figure...with a minimum of 14 points of articulation..... :D
