A friend told me today that at some merchandising show, the company that put out those action figures that I've seen in a few "Post Pics of Your DVD Collection and HT" photos announced that they will be releasing toys of more characters to coincide with the release of the Special Edition DVD sets.
So even though there is no firm date, I would imagine that this is some sort of confirmation. Maybe if someone can find a release date for the toys we can assume the SE disks will be out around the same time?

I was kinda wondering when or if the 2nd series of figures are coming out. I'm still waiting for the O-ren Ishii figure that was originally supposed to be a part of the first series.
I'll poke around and see if there is any new release date mentioned for the figures.

I agree with the no double dipping credo (I HATE double dipping) but it's impossible to know that something won't come out in an expanded special edition down the road.....the only ways to never double dip is to either not buy ANYTHING, or to keep the first version of anything you buy no matter how poor a DVD it is....some of the most ridiculous movies get SE treatments mere months after their release.....how's a person to know??
I despise double dipping, but if a movie I love comes out on DVD after waiting for years to own, I'm going to buy it be it barebones or non-SE. For instance, The Thing is being rereleased and I'm going to doubledip because it's one of my all time favorites. I loved KB I and II and I bought them on release day in each case.....they look good and they both represent what I saw in the theatre. QT may not revamp this for 2,3, 5 years and I'm not going to wait that long to own something I really enjoy

The only confirmed ones are Bill (in the jacket), Elle, and, if the rights are gained, O-Ren.

Dammit, Quentin, you said it would be one release. This makes it sound like two. I can't believe Tarantino would discuss a future plan with the press and then what actually happens would turn out differently!

Yeah, I wouldn't exactly accept figures.com as the word of God, as far as DVD releases go. 
2005? OK that narrows it down alot.
But I still don't see an O-ren figure on the list yet.

Well for the longest its been said the figures will be released simultaneously with the dvd's so hopefully any news of the figures will coincide with future news of the DVD's.
-Also got this from Tarantino message board, originally posted on MovieManiacs.net, looks like the DVD's will be after February at least
Series II will be shown in February at the International Toy Fair.
There will be Director's Cuts of Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 DVDs next year and the Series II figures will be released in conjunction with the DVDs.
The confirmed lineup so far:
Pai Mei
Bill
Elle Driver
Bride II (all new figure)
more to be announced...
Thanks

The figures.com story about the figures actually gives a date..
As previously reported, NECA’s Kill Bill action figure series will continue in 2005. Series 2 is slated to hit store shelves in conjunction with the August 5th release of the Director’s Cut of the two films; Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2. The line-up will consist of The Bride II, Pai Mai, Elle Driver and fan-favorite Bill.

Since August 5th is a Friday, this is more likely to be the theatrical release of these cuts. Which means we'll be lucky to get it before the end of 2005 unless they handle it like the Alien DC and Quadrilogy last year.

"Kill Bill" Director's Cut in August 05 thread!!
From IGN...this maybe it!
"So claims a toy site.
October 25, 2004 - A website dedicated to action figures may have given away the release date of one of the biggest titles of 2005. Figures.com was talking about the release of a new batch of Kill Bill action figures, and said this:
"As previously reported, NECA's Kill Bill action figure series will continue in 2005. Series 2 is slated to hit store shelves in conjunction with the August 5th release of the Director's Cut of the two films; Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2. The line-up will consist of The Bride II, Pai Mai, Elle Driver and fan-favorite Bill."
You get three guesses what Disney's response was, and the first two don't count.

As I said in the other thread, I'd take figures.com info with a grain of salt, but who knows, it's possible. And as Jack says, Aug 5th would most likely represent a limited theatrical release date, so that date being a Friday is logical. Oh well, I'm sure we'll get verification from more reliable sources if this is true.
