Storm Collectibles Announces Gatchaman License
Hi all!
Hong Kong-based Storm Collectibles made an announcement on their twitter account that they have a license to make Gatchaman product. You can see the announcement here:
https://twitter.com/stormcohk/status/1255513225635852288
As you can see, the announcement has no details about -- well-- pretty much anything you'd want to ask. A look at their website shows that they do highly detailed action figures in various sizes (6 inches tall, 12 inches tall, 18 inches tall), and I've read elsewhere that they also do figure statues. I've also read more than one comment that there is frequently a very, very long wait between when they announce a license and when a product actually appears, sometimes on the order of several years. So, while the announcement itself might be exciting, I wouldn't start holding my breath waiting to add anything from them to my collection. But, eventually....

Hi all!
A week or so ago, Storm Collectibles posted a few pictures of the prototype of their upcoming Ken figure, along with the message:
"Storm Collectibles is proudly presents our new licensing partner Tatsunoko Production to release their legendary character action figure: Gatchaman ! 1st Prototype is shown in the images (Pending approval) Final release is coming soon !"
No further information like anticipated release date or pricing as of yet, but I figured you all might enjoy seeing what's coming.

Oooh, so tempting, but I think, with international shipping included, it's a bit out of my price range right now.

Those are really great. They can do great poses, as compared to some previous ones.

Hi all,
A quick update on this to let everyone know the Ken, the Eagle figure from Storm has sold out. They will not be accepting any more pre-orders for it. It may be available from other retailers close to its scheduled release, around November of this year. I hope anyone who wanted one was able to get their order in!

I ordered this so long ago that I forgot!
The last 2 days I've had text and email notifications of a delivery on it's way to me, and I just dismissed them as spam because I hadn't ordered anything . . . recently.
This was 18 months ago!!
And it arrived today.
It was kinda like Christmas!!

Wow, congratulations! I've seen these turn up on sale and auction sites recently and have heard people have received them. But you're the first I know who has gotten theirs. I'm still awaiting a shipping notification on mine. :-)
