Wasn't someone here looking for the Dark Version of the Cool Girl Jun for less than $100.00? One just came up for auction on Yahoo! Japan with a starting bid price of 4,800 yen.
The auction ends on the 19th, and there's no telling how the price may rise between now and then, but you might want to keep an eye on it if you're interested.

The Dark Version of Jun is an original concept created by Takara, and does not come from the TV series. When they did the reissues of the Cool Girl Jun and Cool Girl Cutey Honey figures in 2006, they decided to produce "Alternative" versions of both characters. For Cutey Honey, that was Honey in her civilian clothes, and for Jun is was her in a black version of her regular outfit. Personally, I wish they'd done Jun in her civilian clothes as well, rather than doing the "Dark Version." Apparently that was an idea they had considered, but the Cool Girl designers decided against it because they felt she looked too much like a "fashion doll."
I wish i could have bid! I was trying to figure out how those auctions worked and got lost. So I finally figured out that I'd have to get an agent to bid for me and that upped the cost substantially. Gr....
Thanks for pointing it out for me, though, James. I appreciate that you were thinking of me.
SJ had the idea on the Clubhouse a good two or three years before this version was released. There's artwork there someplace to prove it.

Oh, tempting... but by the time I pay fees to the proxy service... I'll definitely keep an eye on it!
As I said, I'll leave that decision up to you. Regardless, I figured you'd be interested in knowing that a second figure, with a lower starting bid price, as also been listed. I can be found here:

Hey everyone I found a Dark Version of Jun starting at $24.50 on eBay. The web link is not working for me so you can either copy and paste or search GATCHAMAN on eBay.
