    If Babelfish can be trusted with Japanese, I believe this "Bali Moth" will be released by Dream Rocket this month.

    What do y'all think? I like it. Bird-based monsters are sometimes corny looking but this one looks cool to me.

    The colors are fantastic. I don't collect this type of stuff, not enough $$$, but the colors on these types of Kaiju are always impressive to me.

    I like the gold and muted colours.
    The hands remind me of the Longneck hands and other parts remind me of Biskup.

    The name is actually "Gappo," I believe. Dream Rocket has a really excellent eye for color, and their schemes are some of the best that I've seen.

    Marmit put out a gappo a few years ago in their Para Baby line.
    Heres a pic of the GID that I have.

    And ignore the Bali Moth translation. You will see Babel fish come up with that a lot!

    Aha! Very nice creevox. Thanks for the further info, all. I'm gonna try to catch this bird.

    Hahaha, yeah, I should have known better. I was reasoning to myself "well I suppose it looks slightly like some Balinese wood sculptures..."

    I'll change the subject line.

    Kaiju-Taro still has at least one for 6,800 yen ... approx. $57.00 USD. I ordered one last week ... with EMS postage the total was close to $80.00 USD.

    I believe they're 5,800 yen in Japan.

    I REALLY regret selling the original I had... but this new one looks excellent.

    I only wish it wasn't clear vinyl.
