    Another groovy set of creatures, but I cannot decipher the text.

    Those are Bear Models: l to r Bakutari, Kameregon, and Hedoron from Spectreman. Love the 2 standards, BM has been consistently releasing Spectreman kaiju, love it! (Only the Hedoron is from Spectreman, Bakutari is from Ultraman Ace, and Kameregon is from Mirrorman).

    What an odd bunch -- I love the tusks and goofy expression on Kameregon.

    we have just a couple sets of these on the way, although im not sure how soon they will arrive.

    bear model has a pretty unique flavor, i think. im really interested to see that spectreman pollution monster in-hand.

    I love bear model. They have a style all their own. I think I own more bear model than any other toy co (except maybe m1)

    I agree, Bearmodel creatures all have that M1/Marmit/Marusan feel, but they also possess that intangible identifing quality--like Shikaruna, Target Earth, Zollmen, Anraku--you just KNOW it is Bearmodel from looking at it.

    The Bakutari is a crazy textured sculpt.
    He's at a good size too.
    Here's one fighting a Taigan.

    Saw these today as well. The sculpt hits a good balance between crude and detailed, and the paints are the best I've seen yet. The older Bear Model stuff is sort of hit and miss for me, but these are really well done.

    Bear Model does tend to be really hit or miss, love some and really dont care for others, these really are great I got to admit, I could pass on the third one, but the first two are just amazing, would love to track these down! :D
