The official site updated with a nice preview of the upcoming KING OF WORKS archive. The final look of the set might still change since this is a concept picture, but this gives a better idea of what you’re getting than just listing the things. And speaking of lists, here’s what the archive contains:
- Settings Collection (B4 size, 256 pages)
- Scripts Collection (B5 size, two volumes with 208 pages each)
- Original Illustrations Collection (B4 size, 144 pages)
- A box to hold all of it.
- Calendar (September 2012 to August 2013)
- Illustration of Kotetsu and Barnaby (no preview for that yet)
The total page count (without the calendar) is 816, and the price for all this is still the same as before, 5,880 JPY.
The Japanese fans are calling KING OF WORKS a “definitive blunt weapon”, and it’s going to be quite a hefty package. For comparison, this pile of books has 768 pages and it weighs almost exactly three (3) kilos:
It looks amazing! I just can’t get over the fact that the box cover looks so nice, so the actual contents should be top notch. The only thing I’m sorta worried about is the weight, as does everyone I presume… (checks official T&B books) Yep, that’s definitely quite a hefty package indeed. Oh well, it’s T&B merch so I’m going for it!
Lucky for me, I’m ordering this through a shop here in the Philippines that exclusively gets Tiger & Bunny stuff directly from the distributors. I already made an advance payment for the set and this includes very reasonable shipping (since he ordered a few more sets to sell in his shop).
Oh that looks so cool, wish I could afford it. Although I wish there was a way to just get No. 3. Maybe someone will sell it used separately.
Ahhhhhh! Art books are my weakness… I wonder how much of the material will be a rehash of the previously released books, though. I’ll probably get it anyway if the shipping isn’t deathly. ;A;
I want to get but Im beginning to think shipping for this will be a bit of a pain…Need to see how. xD
