I wonder if it's made of some cheap plastic too, haven't checked on my Goku yet because it's in a pile of boxes.

Pretty neat. I can't wait for damaged loose Gokus to end up on ebay. I'd like to get one for a custom for sure!

Let me know if you see any Minigt.

I've now got two Medicom Goku's and Im trying to decide what sort of custom Im going to do to one of them. Battle damaged would likely be the easiest.

Sooo awesome... Will the Piccolo include Rubber pieces like the Goku though?

I'm going to go put something up about this on the front page now.

All the best,
Oldphan

Not sure how much rubber is on this baby, but I would suspect it will have a similar chest piece at least. Check the size difference!

Looking at that last image, I think I just died.

These are beyond amazing.

Anyone know the cheapest place currently selling them?

I'm looking at these images and there's something that I just noticed. Where is Piccolo's elbow joint? He can clearly bend at the elbow since he is doing so in several of the shots but I can't find any joint in the images. That would seem to suggest that Piccolo's arms are made of some sort of bendy rubber and not plastic. This might be because his arms are unique and thus can't be reused from the standard medicom body like Goku.

I hope to god that's not the case since all rubber tends to deteriorate faster than plastic not to mention medicom's recent bad luck in quality control on the rubbery Goku chest pieces.

Just something to think about before ordering...

-Mike

You know what... I don't care if the thing rots in my hands, if I find this cheap enough I'm getting them for sure. WOW! Those are some of the best action figures I've ever seen in my life!

All the best,
Oldphan

To be honest I feel pretty much the same way. Thus if you do find these somewhere cheap be sure to pass the info.

I need my fix too.

Find them cheap? not very soon

Mostly collectors buy these kind of figures, not kids, not parents giving away to their children because of the msrp which was high.

I'm not sure of the condition of my figure, but I expect not to find it shredded in pieces.

And no Bran, I'm NOT selling it if it's damaged

I picked up a Medicom Goku recently for $60 US and even at that price it is expensive, but is my favourite collectable.

Most likely he has a standard type elbow joint under a rubber sleeve, many expensive figures in this scale use this technique.
