    I know this is blasphemy, but I like the non-glowing photo the best. Those colors on the yellow-green GID vinyl are great.

    Thanks for the comments, guys! I love the glow shadow created by the pink swirl going down Gehju Gaezal's abdomen. Great piece.

    playdoh, you will be kicking yourself hard in the future for passing up on these. that is my experience of 'passing' on killer colorways trying to limit myself to only a few examples of a figure. go for the gold, er.. GID, yea go for the GID.

    Re: Shikaruna Kojo

    well, i'm not completely passing, i will buy a third when i see opne that warrants it, but i'll just sell one of the twoo others....;)

    i am all 4 more shikaruna minis! his full size figs take up more real estate than anything else out there! i swear 1 shikaruna figure = 2 of anything else.

    Shikaruna glows. So cool. Almost worth a third mortgage, but the divorce fees that go with that ....feh.

    Re: Shikaruna Kojo

    The only reason that GID photo won't keep me up at night is because I know SOMEDAY I will have the two of them together. Unfortunately the Dagigon is the first item won after my last Celga box shipped, so it might be several months, but SOMEDAY. Thanks for sharing and lets cross our fingers for some GID minis.

    Re: Shikaruna Kojo

    Maybe it's a different reading. I've never actually heard someone from Japan spell it out, so I could be mistaken.

    Now that I look at this thread title, I guess data would know, having been there personally.

    I always thought that Data chose "kojo" to title this thread because he was at their "factory" for those pics.
    工房　is different from 工場

    Late to this party - Anybody know the name of the Furry Skull guy?

    He reminds me of the "space monster" from Frankenstein meets the Space Monster a little.

    On the website, it is spelled "koubou". And, Shikaruna is spelled "Siccaluna". So who knows?

    originally I liked the dagigon but then my wife ruined it by putting the thought in my head that it looks like jarjar binks and now I can't stand it

    Sorry, I don't know the name, but I've seen that movie. So bad it's almost good. It kinda does look like the "space monster".

    Good observations. Siccaluna would still be pronounced Shikaruna in japanese.But Shikaruna Koubou (koh-boh)
    [シカルナ・工房]is correct.
