It looks like a newly licensed Nakayoshi release of an vintage character. There were two others from the set of three...
sorry for the blank pic. i dunno why the picture blanks sporadically. heres the link http://blogimg.goo.ne.jp/user_image/39/ ... e878c4.jpg I think this piece is sweet. i just don't have any idea of what it is! i think it's an old ultraman enemy.
apparently you can't link the picture from that website (something similar happened to skylar a few weeks ago) you need to download it and post it using mageshack, photobucket or other of those storage sites
As I noted in the old post link above, just copy and paste the URL into a new browser window. It's an interesting toy but I think it appears too "busy" with the many different shapes and textures. It it not any Ultra figure I have seen & does not get any listing in my 3 Saito Ultra kaiju books but maybe it was from a much later UM series.
Sorry about the viewing problems. For some reason I always seem to see it fine. I've uploaded it to imageshack for the others:
When I am not painting KaijuZoo custom and exclusive figures, in my "real" job I am a computer systems engineer so I will explain for all why the image is not showing up. The first problem is that the website in Japan where the image is hosted does not allow hotlinking from other sites (in this case, such as from skullbrain). Many sites such as ClubTokyo prevent hotlinking so as to reduce web traffic that does not originate from the main site. This is why no one can click on your posted link without getting the Forbidden message. The photo shows up for both of us though since the image is now stored locally on our computers in the browser's cache (temporary storage). If you clicked Refresh/Reload then the pic would disappear as it is then cleared from the cache. Make sense ?
Yes, this is a figure by Nakayoshi. It is called Redjack (at least that's the english equivalent). Kaiju-Taro had it for sale, but it's sold out now. Wish I had bought one. It's a good looking kaiju.
thanks for the info. i really love the colors on this figure. I happened to find one on Y!JA, but the color seemed a little off...a bit greener and less blue. we'll see when it gets here.
you sure you didn't get this colorway?? this is the one you have pictured above and I really don't think there are many of this pink Hawaii version because they seem to go for big bucks!!!
