I was able to take a look at this figure last month in hand, its sooo nice..just wish i knew the story to the character.

Wookster, great poses! I love the ankle action on that guy. Sideshow needs to take note on how to make tabi boots. They should have imported those for thier Storm Shadow. Him leaning against the box with the pipe is classic.

cool get! saw this one in a store display. not a fan of the director's films. but the figure is impressive.

I've just got my Goemon figure. But I have a question, is the foot supposed to be this weak? He can't stand on his own like a regular TT can.

Make sure to take off his ninja boots to check his feet. Some people said their Goemon figures had broken feet sockets (where the ankle joint meets the foot).

Goemon and Saizo use a different type of feet compared to a normal TT.

Oh wow, you're right. They both look cracked, the right one is missing a good bit of the plastic too. Argh. Hopefully I can get them replaced.

Darn I have to open mine now.

 

[eighthsamurai]

hey bud, mine was like that too, the peg in one of them was cracked. i didn't bother contacting HT since they seem to either take forever these days to reply or just ignore you. i had a triad omega body lying around somewhere and the feet are much smaller than the TT, but the pegs are the same. so i took out the socket and put one of those in - perfect fit and goemon could stand again.

if you have any such compatible bodies it might be worth a try. btw, congratulations on an amazing figure!

 

[dominishin]

Thanks. He's a great figure, love the character design and details. Hopefully I can just go through the seller and not Hot Toys. If not, I guess I can buy the feet loose.

hey guys! im trying to put away my goemon figure back in the box.. Do you guys who have it remember where that clear plastic triangle piece goes? Does it go on the chin to push the head against the box? I totally dont remember but do have the piece.. Thanks guys!

 

[sil80jdm]

Check out my goemon guys! i loved the part when goemon took out tokugawa's castle and absolutely had to have that version.. I actually bought both goemon and saizo to do this. And it was completely worth it!

 

[dragonsleeper]

Coolness...great job on the costume change

 

[sil80jdm]

Thanks this is officially my new favorite hot toys so far

 

[vareika]

I'm late to the party...and just picked this up @@ I swear I have to stop looking at HT figures

Can someone that has this figure please post side-by-side comparison pics of it next to the Hot Toys TTM08 TrueType Narrow Shoulders figure that was released around Christmas?
