One of my favorite toys to come in recently....

U.S. Toys Gaigan!

 

Top two (IMO) new releases battling it out for toy supremacy!

 

Very nice, Joe!

I love seeing matchups!!!

 

That is a sweet Gigan.

Smogun is going down!

 

Gigan: "You were hanging out at Super7 again, weren't you?!!!"
Smogon: "Awww, honey, I was just hanging out with the guys..."
Gigan: "What did you buy? I see you holding a bag behind your back!"
Smogon: "Who wants a hug? Gimme a hug!"

 

Uh oh, someone is projecting again.

 

Not me... I'm smart enough to hide my stuff in my car trunk until my wife goes to sleep.

 

Clever, but my wife watches my shelves now. She's got a pretty good mental inventory. Ugh, those dreaded words, "Hey, this one wasn't here before..."

 

I'm not convinced that they're fighting. Gigan is an obsessive Godzilla-hater who tries to recruit other monsters (or robo-monsters from space as the case may be) to join his anti-Goji campaign. The question is whether Smogon is a fence-sitter who can be turned against Godzilla, which seems possible given the legacy of fellow pollution baddie Hedorah, or whether his issue is with recycling plants that turn perfectly usable body parts into something else. The deal breaker just may be Jet Jaguar.

Or maybe Gigan is fighting Smogon.

 

...IM SMOGUN!


smogun is pretty much a total napoleon complex jerk but can really scrap when it comes down to it!

"WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? GO BACK TO BED ROBOTIC CHICKEN"

 

I highly recommend cycling your shelves more often then so that the wife doesn't get that perfect mental image of your collection
Plus while doing it, you get the bonus of playing with your toys instead just displaying them.

I really like the 2nd pic, you can get a better sense of the blue/black color than the sterile white background type pics.
The smogun....meh (yeah yeah I know sacrilege heh)

At first I was debating if I wanted these guys, the black/blue although very sweet doesn't do much for me compared to their colored siblings.
But I think now I'm gonna pick up 1 or 2 of em and carry them with me as my "traveling toys" since I won't have to worry much about chipping off some paint or whatnot.

 

Look at all those sharp protrusions on Gigan... he's a natural enemy for Smogun's soft, deflateable tire body.

I thought he was a penguin.

 

You're thinking of Pengiras...

 

girlfriend does the exact same thing, i don't know how she does it. i usually have to say "its was there, i don't know how you missed it, you must be getting old" and usually after i wake up from being pummeled situation has passed

 

celga shipment stays in the car until i beat the mrs. home and i can sneak it upstairs

 

I thought he was Kool Moe Dee.

 

I keep mine at work!

 

I say; "Oh yeah, that one. Just got him. Got a deal, paid blah blah blah, owed me blah blah blah. Blah, didn't cost much at all. Got a break on the ship blah blah...." . She passes out from boredom, as women will often do whilst listening to toy stories. I drag her sleeping butt into the hallway, go back to goofing off.
Next morning; Nothing.

Of course she collects more crap than I do. Uses the same damn lines, I think, but I keep passing out.

 

I'm a lucky dog! My wife is always wowed by the stuff I buy. Kids think it's cool which helps.

 

trust me, when you bring a celga box home that is tough to get through the door, the wow may turn to annoyance very quickly

 

Get this! My wife says to me last night, "you know, your office shelves are getting awfully full. Why don't you sell a Bemon and get some cash to help pay for the bedroom set we just bought?"

ASDFJJJJKKKK WWWTF? Did she just say Bemon? She knows it's name? More than that, she knows what they can sell for?? Panic!

"BEMON??" I said. "Yeah, they're ugly. And they take up so much space. Sell em. And those stupid Gargamel... what are they? Hed-do-ran? Sell all those too. Ugly. Keep the Zagorans though, and the Tokojis!"

She's learning. I'm frightened. I didn't think she knew a Bemon from a Booska.

 

lol at least she said to keep the zags and toko's......my wife looks at me crazy everytime a box comes in the door and wants me to get rid of all of them. but fuck that!

 

You know, that's a pretty good idea! Here, let me help you pay for that bedroom set.

 

Yeah, I agree with your wife, you need to sell those ugly Garg hedorans....to me!! I might even have some of those Tokojis she loves so much.

 

Nnnnno! I will, however, sell you a lovely pair of birch bed-side tables and chest of drawers to pay for another Bemon!
