Another geek alert! “Electric Dragon 80,000V” action figures?!

by Chris MaGee

Earlier this month I posted an item about “Seven Samurai” action figures for all you collectors out there. Well, as I was searching around online for some stills from Sogo Ishii’s fantastic 2001 noise rock action film “Electric Dragon 80,000V” what do you think I came across? Of course, the pic’s right there! “Electric Dragon 80,000V” action figures! Holy crap! Now, I’m not a toy collector, but this is pretty wild. 12” figures of Tadanobu Asano’s super-charged Dragon Eye Morrison and Masatoshi Nagase’s Thunderbolt Buddha each with their own tin cases… but for $350.00?!?! If these came with Discotek’s DVD/ Soundtrack set of the film then maybe, just maybe I could understand, but there are things like rent and groceries to consider, no?

For those with an expendable income head to ToyTokyo.com to check out the full details.

Just bought the set! 11 years later they were still right there in the display case at Toy Tokyo. Looking forward to bringing them home to Montreal.
