i think they are great but i agree with....who said it? i cant remeber who but someone said they'd like a stormer or some of the men, me too!!! then if i ever get a gilvy i could stand him next to it. But 1 thing is male figures in skanky costumes would never sell as well as the female ones. my 2 cents

Is it really wrong that I was thinking " The best parts of Zoids and women combined " like the Evangelion XX Angel Girls from Wave ?

But seriously, Naruto has fully articulated/part swappable action figures (of several of their males characters and only one female) so why can't zoids? Because Naruto is a show about people, they don't have giant Mecha. Think about how long Gundam has been around and think about how much larger Gundam's fan base is than Zoids and they've still never gotten fully articulated action figures either. It's because the Mecha are the stars of the show, plain and simple. I agree that it's a good idea and they probably would sell but for whatever reason Tomy (and Bandai) aren't tapping into that market. -Pheno

gundam are fully articulated aren't they? the two i have have pretty good poseabliity part from it being slightly loose. and there are action figures which should logically have more articulatexd? i doubt we'll ever get articulated zoids. u would have to lose the model theme and get a prebuilt wobbly thing.....no fun

The KFMs are cool looking, but only Liger ) and Beserk Fuhrer exist, and the Hasbro ones can be kinda freaky looking and aren't that poseable. Plus their weapons are ridiculous huge, the GS's WW Unit is the same size as the actual CP-13. They are Blox compatable though, which is really cool.

Again, we were talking about a line of action figures of the CHARACTERS. -Pheno

actually, although a touch OT, this brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. in the photos for both Rainbow Jerk Wind and Lanstag Break, the additional figures appear to have limited posability. Has anyone gotten a Jerk Wind here to verify this? I ask because I preordered the Break and I don't wanna tear Re's arms off thinking she's poseable when its really only a seam.

On a random note, I saw a Neo Zenebas-y Redler custom once where someone made a little Wolff pilot for it. Anyone want me to look for it again?

I was aware of the zoids action figures i was reffering to model kit articulation like gundams.... Tilly were you implying u want a stromer in skanky costume or am i not understanding a word u said?

For some reason, the concept of a Stroemer action figure makes me think of a Coffeemaker Gilvader to munch upon the Coffeemaker Ligers and Wolf

No, I'm saying the idea of scantily clad battle story character figures imploded my brain.
And now it did again. Thanks a LOT.

I'm hoping Amenbo will also carry the stock. They usually do. Their shipping is more expensive than most places but I consider them much more reliable than HLJ.
And as other have said, Ebay will most likely feature them. If anything, that might be the safest bet since you can order specific character rather than leaving it to chance.
