It looks like the Men In Rusty Black (MIRB) name will be Japan only. Casio USA is currently going with the name G-Force on its site, much like the MIRO (Japan) vs. G-Rescue (export) naming of the previous series. The prices aren't too surprising, but it's a little disappointing to see the $350 USD pricing of the new Frogman. It looks like the Glorious Gold one was not the exception. You can currently add all four models to your shopping cart. Go ahead and get them now.
"The new G-Force series represents some of the very best of the tough and durable designs from the G-Shock ORIGIN and MASTER OF G line-ups. Featuring a stealth, matte black finish to the band and case including the watch buttons that are ion plated to a black finish."

Update: according to this page on casio.com the Frogman's entire "case including the watch buttons that are ion plated to a black finish", so that sounds like the whole titanium case and screwback are black.

Hi Riley,
I am not very surprised about the price of the Frogman. Also in Japan the price is 30000 Yen, while if I remember well, earlier models were around 28000 yen. Considering the high price of the yen, compared to the US$ and Euro, I think this will be the new price for the Frogman. I hope the prices in the shops will be considerable lower, like ht Dawn Black models.
Cheers,
Sjors
