    When I opened the box I couldn't believe how big this guy is! The King is definitely one of the bulkiest hunks of vinyl around. The heads on this King are reversed compared to the other pictures posted so far and the preview picture sent out with the sales e-mail.

    I'd describe the vinyl color on the omake as... pea soup? Kind of yellow-green with dark metallic green spray. This other picture is a little dark, but it gives an idea of scale vs. a Badzilla, which is no slouch in the size department either:

    My money's on the King in this battle...

    Switched heads still looks great.

    I would love a close up of that omake pea soup. :D

    And that picture with the other two MGs is great.

    Venture, love the vinyl color.

    The new HS blog header is pretty cool. Also Hirota-san used 2 of my pictures I sent to him on his blog today.

    Someone's angling for us to get g-ju tatts!
    :idea: Hmmm maybe, if that's what it takes to get one of these toys...

    Gorilla tattoos are always cool, even if they're not associated with toys.

    My homemade Toyblog-to-nerd translator program indicated that if you get a facial GJ tattoo you will qualify to win all future lotteries. The more prominent the better in case of too many people getting them and a lottery situation ensuing.

    Any flippers reading this should ignore this and make sure NOT to get the full face tatt to ensure maximum potential win to flip ratio.

    BWA HA HAAAAA!

    Got my appointment to get started on the full face GJ.

    Also a King tattoo for my butt- one head for each cheek.
