They had everything, and frequently brought back items from Japan which were unboxed, or without packing foam because they'd try to stuff as much diecast as possible into a sack. (When I got my Nomura Yamato 1:1300 from them, I was bummed to get the box flattened: no foam for me!)

Anyway, one day they had Ryu diaplayed in the window: just the styro shell, no outer box. As ugly as his head was, he came with a totally cool helmet and sidearm. I remember being shocked, even at that age, by the coolness of actuallly having a Gatchaman figure like this. It looks like they attempted to accurate portray the body anatomy, and to provide all the little things a Gatchaman freak would want. From that day on, I kept my eye out for the other characters in the line. I just had to know if Ken Owashi had a sonic boomerang or not.

(Allow me to take a moment to complain about how ugly and lame the new Toei figure of Ken is. You'd think people would have learned from the new Star Wars figures how not to do an action figure.)

I have, to this day, not seen any of the other toys in this line. If you have photos, or know of images in a book, please send me mail!
