My Gatchaman collection is, to say the least, extensive. I've a fair number of the books, all three series on their original Laser Discs (complete with all the extras), the Playstation game and computer software--the OAV game and the U-Print card design program. I've also the 12" figures and the Ken plush. I also have some of the LPs. But the best in the entire collection is the super rare promotional video and literature Sammy put out when trying to sell their Gatchaman pachinko machines.

It'd take me forever to put up images of everything I have, so for now, the words will have to suffice.

They're a video gambling/gaming machine, that functions like a slot machine. You can take a look at it here, and for further exploration, just click any of the four titled bars at the bottom of this page.

You'll see what I mean about how super rare--and super cool--the promotional info is!

If I could find the original Joe and Ken dolls, and I had the money at the same time (^_^), I'd probably get them. Same with the Jun doll. The BotP versions of the 12" Joe and Ken dolls just don't cut it. The BotP figures don't impress me much, either. The problem with some action figures is that finding ones with good faces and such can be difficult. For example, WP's Princess action figure is probably the best made one I've seen. The ones I've found at comic shops and the like don't seem as well made. *shrugs* Or maybe I'm just really picky. ^_^

I do, however, have all the BotP comics (no cover variations, though), including the manga, volumes 2-4 of the Rhino dvds, the OAV, and pictures I printed off all over my bedroom wall (along with other series, of course).

Edit: I do want to mention that Anime Castle has some great Gatch merchandise, including dvds, wallscrolls, soundtracks, shirts, and more. It's really cool how much this site has.

Yeah, I like the faces on them...just not the body swap.

Stardust - Definitely go. Almost all of their stuff is below retail price (some of their dvds aren't as low as I've seen them, but they definitely aren't the highest). Add in the fact that you wouldn't have to pay shipping, and you have a great deal.
