where can I watch this interesting ancient cartoon? or anime as you guys know it.

 

[King Darkness]

One of the first anime movie I ever saw, and I loved it!!!

I may try to fit this into the tight budget, but its doubtful.

Did you guys ever see the live action FotNS movie Its laughable at best.

There isn't "as you know it" it's anime.

You can try to find the old DVDs that Manga Entertainment put out. They only released the first 30 eps in the US tho, the rest you can find via torrent

 

[Ven]

i dunno, usually I just call anything animated cartoons.

 

[Masao]

I can tell they have already screwed this up.

If you have watched the anime, you know that 1/6 scale would mean:

Regular characters would be close to 12", Ken would be 13" mininmum, and all the villains would be PF size.

Last year they put out new anime or "cartoons" taking place during the original Fist of the North Star. The only difference is that instead of being from the POV of our hero, Kenshiro, it is actually from the POV of Raoh. It is called Raoh No Gaiden and is pretty good. But I also encourage you to check out the original series.

Yeah to watch those you really need the background of reading or watching the orig. They reference a LOT and also retcon a few things. Incredible films tho if you're HNK fan, The newest one Raoh Den 2 Gekitou no Shou is unbelievable. And the Raoh Funeral that coincided the release of the film was one of the greatest triumphs for fans of HNK. Just thinking about it moves me to tears

I dont know where it was made, but Big Van Vader was in it, and I think mostly American actors.

The one yu're speaking of is the HK one starring Gary Daniels. There are 2 others. One from Taiwan and another from Korea. Here's footage from both-

When do you guys think this will go up for pre-order?

 

[galactiboy]

Hoping next week... seems they don't announce the import stuff too far ahead of pre-order.

 

[galactiboy]

Well he's up, and at $150 its a pretty hefty price tag. Here's to hoping for a better price from distributors

Kenshirou Pre-Order

 

[kierbaudy]

Too pricey! And, they still haven't fixed those big zippers!!!

 

[galactiboy]

He cost about what I was figuring he would... but most places offer 15% discount so he'll probably be closer to $130. Thats a bit more reasonable.

As for the zipper, I have the Ghost Rider figure and its really not an issue, the figure kicks so much ass that you really don't get distracted by it.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

way too big of a price tag for me. maybe other retailers, but i dunno... too loaded with other stuff right now.

 

[galactiboy]

Just thought I'd bump this up since we have new pics of the Kenshiro figure from Wondefest '08... figure looks sick!!!

And let us not forget that Rei also went up for pre-order a while back... while I'm not planning on getting him, looks like another great figure
