Some really good stuff. Mini ninja and borg. The ninja fullsize rub looks very cool. Never really liked the sculpt till that one. The marnons with the eyeballs are way better then the tongue versions and some of the two headed figures are looking great.
So much weird and wonderful stuff! I dug the cutesy big eye monsters, the Maschinen Krieger walker, weird Bellmer-style dolls, and my fave:
The Rock Lords guy is by Nerd One. It's not a collab as far as I know. The name is Steregon (like stereo).
That's right.. I do remember seeing it in another blog and it looked the exact same/proto-ish. Because nerdone is rad.
No rush, I would just like to get one. First time it was shown at a fest, it was like a "good" tease. Enough foreplay, time for the payoff

Data thanks for posting all those great picts. If there was an award for "Kaiju Ambassador", I would vote for you.
Some of the more obscure stuff is somewhat interesting. Again, like SDCC, sadly not wowed with what I am seeing.
A little bummed about missing the Blob DXes, but hey... patience, patience. Also digging the GID Flatwoods by Ilanena on KT's Flickr... hopefully I'll get a chance to snag one of those! I also like the Melty Cyclops by X-Plus... looks like it was sculpted by the same guy who does a lot of CCPs stuff! But just between you guys and me, start holding your breath for the next SuperFest... things are gonna get NUTS.
its killing me that I missed this as well. the Kaiju were statistically spread out some that a maximum dispersion ratio was reached. Didn't help that it took 10 minutes to go between floors because of the escalator incident. These were GID blanks that are from the same sculpt as the Artstorm SOFVI MONSTERS A/B sets. Each artist got 25 GID blanks do look for a few cool little bobbles to pop up over the coming months. THANK GOD there is almost 2 months between now and Superfestival. I don't recommend holding your breath as much as actually taking a few days to breath easy again. Now its nose to grindstone - time to replenish the coffers
I think bringing back the amoeba and smog color ways in the form of mini damns are sweet--these minis should be easier to trackdown than their full sized versions. AND, most probably cheaper.
About the Steregon (the Nerd one two-header): I remember reading a little while back in Kai-Zine that they are actually trying to make it into a functional speaker set that you could plug an iPod or whatever in to, so maybe it's taking them a little bit more time to get all of that worked out? Thanks for the info on the GIDs, DD!!! Gotta try and get my hands on that Ikapokkun!!!!!!
