I, for one, am sick and tired of Romandoh doing multiple repaints of a single figure. One variant is great but this is too much. I want to see more different figures of unmade Kinniku/M.U.S.C.L.E figures! Instead of 6 versions of Warsman, 5 different Kinnikuman paintjobs, & 4 RobinMask variants.. where's the other stuff? They're plenty of source material for lots of other figures. The figures i would lkie to see as Romandos are:

Mr. Barracuda

Planetman

Omegaman

MixerTaiti

Dr. Bombay

Yes, Omegaman, Satan Cross and the HAND!

[NamaNiku]

I would really like to see Junkman and Mayumi.

Romando's Full Line-Up

Hey:

the Japanese toys site:
http://www.chara-net...E=1&LISTID=2135
has Kenda & Fuji listed as the next Romandos to get.

Are those some of the new full size Bandai's?

[theCrazyest]

Hey Johnny:

Why yes! I belive so. It also looks like that the Bandai figures are sold as tagTeams only (no sign of single figures) I was hoping for singles but the tagTeam prices are the same as the Romandos, so this is where my $ is goin'!

I bought some Romandoh figures for really cheap on Yahoo Japan Auctions. There are some amazing kinnikuman finds on there, and I am blown away at how cheap things usually are. If you can read and write Japanese, you can set up an acount, or if not you can always look. Most sellers will only ship to Japan, so I usually have them ship to my sister in-law or my parents in Japan, then they ship the stuff to me. I just bought a few Bandai 4 inch figures.... cho saiko da!
Here is the URL for the kinnikuman auction page:

This is also the best place to buy kinkeshi.

Well with all auction sites you're at the mercy of the sellers in which, you pretty much hope that you'll find something that you've been looking for on there. I was trying to figure out a good way to get Romandohs for cheaper (like a WestCoast/Japan connection) I think that a majority of us wiould benifit from that!

Hello All,

I agree with theCrazyest, I think he should do more of each figure so we can see more of the figures instead of variations of previous ones.

That would be nice. Expensive though. Imagine trying to get a collection of 233+ Romadohs (OUCH!, Can you say REFINANCE)

[NamaNiku]

Hmmm, there is really not a cheap way to buy Romando stuff, unless you pick it up yourself in good old Nihon.
I just bought a sunigator from www.o-mocha.com, and it was 2,300 yen. Tax is 115 yen, and shipping to my mother-in-law is 600yen. But... you also have to pay the delivery guy 400 yen, because pretty much all mail order in Japan is done by COD, so you pay for it when it shows up. It is pretty funny, the delivery guy will open up the box, and show you what you got so you can inspect it. I had a ramen man shipped to my mom once, and she said she just laughed when the guy showed it to her, because he was all serious, and it was just a toy.
Anyways, you also have to pay again to ship it to America. Not cheap.... but it is still cheaper than buying from justbetoys, or robozone etc..
Once again, I am going to Japan in September, if anyone wants me to look for them. If I find what you want, you can pay me with PayPal, and I can withdraw the money in Japan to pay for the stuff. I could even set up a private Buy It Now eBay auction, so it would be really secure etc...

[arforbes]

Yeah you're right Johnny,

Thant would get pretty expensive. And I thought collecting M.U.S.C.L.E.'s was burning a hole in my pocket! Could you imagine if they made all 400+ Kinnikuman into M.U.S.C.L.E.'s the first time around!

[jkaris]

Could you imagine if they made all 400+ Kinnikuman into M.U.S.C.L.E.'s the first time around!

I'm imagining poverty and a house made out of Romadoh cardboard backs.

[arforbes]

With 400 + siblings. All about 1 and a half inches tall!

Haha

[theCrazyest]

400+ Romandohs... Dude, my wife would leave me so fast!!!!!!!!!!! And with the kids in tow..

Hahahahahah I can imagine a house made from the Romando cards

On the upside thanks uoozuman for the offer I'll be looking forward to seeing what kind of goodies you'll be pickin' up!
