    Oh, I see. :lol: Disregard my vintage toy rants then.

    Guess what I was trying to say might still apply, in that this head could be reserved for the tribute one only, but who knows what he might do in the future. Apologies for the misunderstanding Gian.

    Any news on recent releases? Have secret emails gone out again? Anyone?

    If you have news, but don't want to post it, please PM me.

    ^ So rad! My first thought with your size comparison pic was to take off a mini mecha arm and put it in tyranno ju's mouth.

    So these are going to be smaller versions of the larger figures?? Will they be easier to get or just as impossible as the larger ones?? thanks...

    Can only speculate either way these will be cheaper than the big bros.

    I can see you had fun working on that Ian!!
    I'm already drooling about these minis!! The mini goju, ersatz of that og one (which I'm not complaining about) has me completely thrilled because it means I no longer need to cry about not having the og one but also means we'll probably see many colour variations. And the mecha one has my favorite body of the mechas. Simple, stocky, and the chest-waist proportion seems more ape-like than the big ones.

    These look awesome! Great scale image smo9monster! Really love the scale the minis give the Tyranno-Ju

    At least cheaper means more attainable even if just slightly. Unless he makes a run of 10 of these and gives them to friends! ha

    Let's not speculate about how these will be sold. Hopefully they'll be a chance for everyone.

    These little ones certainly deserve to be figures on their own merits, but they are also the same size as other omakes. I wonder if they will have their own omakes, they'll be on ther own, or be omakes for something even more exciting...
