    Yes, that is very nice. I actually didn't like it unpainted. But this is a whole other story.

    Some recent scores.

    Here's a mini Dagigon unpainted black. Third unpainted of Dagigon I've seen. Is there any unpainted mini Zags? Anyone?

    And last year's Tetsujin28. Siccaluna's sculpting and painting skills are just amazing.

    Great scores Choon. Everytime I see ANY version of a SK T-28 it reminds me of how much I want one of those boxed versions they had for sale many moons ago. Never see those come up anymore :(

    Thanks, Chris.

    Saw a boxed version on YJA. Went for 38500yen :?: :?: :?: :!: Ridiculous.

    Mine's the bag/header version. I think the boxed version has the same exact figure and was a run of 100. I guess the box-art makes it cool. There was one at Mandarake going for 15,000yen, but its gone. Retail were 10,500yen when first released.

    A bit too anime punk for me ... Or Possibly based on Any member of Discharge, GBH or English Dogs (in their underpants) backstage circa 1982? Oi oi.

    I like this figure posed and with profile shots showing its sides..similar to the photo shot of the unpainted white 2 pages back.

    Shik loves spikes, I love this figure.

    How tall is this figure by the way?

    Actually Choon the version I'm talking about is the one that came with the stand:

    This is the best one, not that yours is not really cool (it is), it's just the one I most regret not pursuing!

    Yeah this was the first one they put out. I want to say in 2009 or 2010 maybe? They put it out in this color, blue or silver. Was really pricey. I think at the time close to $175-$200 at least. Came in a wooden box.

    EDIT: found the thread we both were in Choon! (LOL), too many toys to remember we talked about it before my friend:

    viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32748&hilit=+shikaruna+t+28+

    So yeah it was 2009. Unfortunately I no longer have the photobucket account to recall the pics maybe someone else saved them?

    Speaking of T-28's, I really like the Black Tetsujin-28 Shikaruna put out in November. 10 made seems like it's still available on their site for those interested:

    Some pics of the black T-28. Black is really hard to photograph without glares and noise. Sorry for the crap pics (there is another in mail day thread):

    While it's not the Giant M1 Tetsujin-28 Brown version I desire so much it's still a fun toy. A little smaller than I thought but still nice. 9 points of articulation, some where you least expect (one of the wrists and the entire waist swivels). Actually maybe 7 points if you don't consider the jet pack tanks in the back.

    Not sure? I'd be the wrong person to ask though since I had that communication fiasco with them two years ago. Try the general contact email and see what happens, never hurts.

    Redhanded your mixed part looks awesome. Here's the 1 I got. I saw another 1 that is almost identical to it. I think my favorites are the clear grey and light green. I'm still surprised Grumbletoy has these bags in stock.
