Dragon/Shizuoka update -- UPDATE

In my last posting, I stated that, ". . . I would have to conclude the the 1/9th scale Action Hero Vignette series is a ready-to-display (i.e., pre-painted) series aimed primarily at collectors, not modellers."

True. . . but, fortunately, not entirely so. The Action Hero Vignette series is indeed comprised of pre-paints w/ some assembly required; however, Dragon is also marketing these as 1/9 scale model kits! HLJ has just posted the pre-order info for these kits.

KUDOS to Dragon! The vigil for Hawkeye has begun!!

PS--Here are the parts breakdown for Iron Man and Thor. Still no word if the series will be distributed Stateside, but they are/will be available through HLJ, BBTS, etc.
