So it would seem we're in the clear. Another board member also stated that it should be fine.
Hope so! I'm fairly certain they didn't have that "Japan only" indicator before the site overhaul, so my fingers are crossed. I'm really hoping they get more stock of the DX Smoker and Croc, but it's probably wishful thinking. There was a totally boss DX Trafalgar figure that they never seemed to stock, at least not for filthy gaijin. Either that, or supplies were extremely limited. It's a shame, because to date it's my personal favorite; every other figure looks lame in comparison (the P.O.P. figure was especially disappointing).
Got my Ichiban Kuji Goku and DPCF Robin from Mandarake. How is it that these jokers find the right boxes to fit width or length for all the products boxes. They are all fitted so well.
Anyhoo....
Holy. Shit. The Goku. The Goku. As a kid growing up in the 90's watching DBZ tapes and being a huge fan of Toriyama's art... this is my holy grail DBZ piece. Hands down. Going to hunt for a good price on Ichiban Kuji Freeza and Broly next since their quality is the same.
The Japanese are meticulous about everything, even when it comes to open-boxed or used goods. It's a particularly awesome trait of theirs. I believe Mandarake is some kind of used goods store, but honestly, you wouldn't know it by browsing their wares.
What'd you pay for that Goku after shipping? I agree that the figure is very much a holy grail for the DBZ fanatic. I clearly remember the panel from which it's inspired. If I wanted to be picky, I'd wish for some battle damage, but that's being anal. Freeza and Broly both look great, too, but dat Goku is the business.
