I found Ilanena's Flickr album: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilanena/ Photos of the Wonderfest Kewpie Mayonnaise Daikaiju Card Monster (Hydro Beast H, Metrokabayan, Betarus) set are up there, plus sets planned for Tokyo Toy Festival and the Pachimon Summit. It also looks like he's doing a set for Superfest: http://artstorm.co.jp/gentei.html His site and BBS are here: http://ilanena.com/ http://0bbs.jp/ilanena/
Nice. I love his stuff. I've got a set of those GID Wonderfest Kewpie Mayonnaise Daikaiju Card Monsters creeping to my house as I type...
Ilanena posted another set that will be sold at Hobby Complex Tokyo on 11/25: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilanena/1575707121/ I guess these are the "Ultra Q" versions.
I like these latest versions, especially the eyeballs on the Betaurus. I noticed last night, looking at the back of the header, that the set lists a second group of three Empaiya characters- looks like Heater, Culadros and melomeron (sp?). I wonder if these will eventually be sold in a 3-pack as well.
ouch. these just turned my stomach i want them so bad...Ilanena posted another set that will be sold at Hobby Complex Tokyo on 11/25: . How can I be sure to get them? By the time I get up, 7am pst, whatever has been posted on KT is almost always sold out.
Go to bed later, or get up earlier. Perhaps someone else has a more helpful hint, but my dog wakes me up in the middle of the night to check KT new listings.
You could watch Yahoo Japan for "patchi kaiju" or "ecchi kaiju" but I haven't seen too many turn up there. I believe Kaiju Taro still has the original Wonderfest glow set, do a search for Ilanena's name there. They're a great deal, three kaiju for 3000 to 3500 yen.
They don't have the glow set, but they do have the pink PachiKaiju Summit set. I had to get one. I can't believe they still have at least one left in stock...
Wow, that was fast! I have a feeling that the subsequent figures have been painted-over glow vinyl. What do you think?
Gotta catch 'em all, Hypermook! http://0bbs.jp/ilanena/img455_2 These are going to be available at a Swap Meet on the 25th: http://www.swapmeet.ne.jp/toys_cafe/index.html
i really dig the exploding head guy from this set, but cant get excited about the other two. i hope that one gets sold individually, or that they make a large one.
i agree completely,, unfortunately,,,seems like they are a destined set...that is what has kept me from purchasing any so far.. i am hoping that someday people will break-up their sets & start selling the exploding head... or that a larger one gets made
