MICROMAN - GODZILLA & STREET FIGHTER: The latest wave of licensed Microman figures has just arrived. From Street Fighter - Chun Li and Sakura are each available for $16.99.

The 1964 Godzilla & King Ghidrah set and Megalon & Jet Jaguar sets are each priced at $35.99. The microman figures each fit inside the Godzilla, Megalon, etc figures - very nice figures - the King Ghidora carded set is one of the largest carded microman items released recently.

Another nice round of G.F. figures. We've also restocked the GC-05, GC-06, GC-07 and a variety of others are still in stock. We are working on more Starscream and Vector Primes, but no luck yet.

MCFARLANE'S DRAGONS: This is one of my favorite lines of the year so far
after seeing them in person. Truly awesome figures that are bigger than you'd expect for the price! The set of 5 dragons is now available for
$54.99 and two of them are also available singly (Komodo Clan and Sorcerers Clan Dragons - $10.99) We presold about 2/3rds of our supply so the remainder likely won't last long (pre-orders will ship monday/tuesday)

SIDESHOW: More Buffy! This time the 'Prophecy Girl Buffy' figure has arrived - the first figure based on Sarah Michelle Gellar for quite some time now. The 1/4 Scale Van Helsing figure has also arrived - limited to only 1500 pieces and Sideshow has sold out of them. We have them listed below the MSRP at $239.99 - another high quality 1/4 scale figure from Sideshow.

The Transformers 1st Complete Japanese book has been restocked for $47.99 (listed near the top of the main TF menu)

KAMEN RIDERS - TRANSFORMING DISKS: We've received a few nifty Kamen Rider figures from Bandai. these figures are basically CD disks that transform into a variety of animals. The transformations seem quite complex for something that starts out as a flat disk. Three figures are in stock now and we have the rest of the series on order - #01 Red Hawk, #02 Blue Wolf, #03 Green Monkey are each in stock for $21.99 each. We don't carry too many Kamen Rider items, but these should be popular with anyone who enjoys transforming type goodies.

The 1/1700 Seed Eternal ship model kit has also just arrived.
