While hunting for something else, I stumbled on this snap from the mail thread: Day after Christmas, 2001. Friends forever! EDIT: Dug out the Photobucket album: Nostalgic Heroes, M1Go, RedKing, Matango, Marusan model, pendant
It only took me a little over three weeks to get off my lazy ass to finally take a photo. Yay me! The Space Trooper helmet fits pretty well to protect it's brain.
^^ Bubbly-looking clear vinyl . . . . . so cool. Space Trooper is being generous to let his little buddy protect his brain. . . . . your photo makes me wanna buy a couple of Space Troopers.
BANG! That top picture is the tops, and what a treat it is to see that little pearl-muncher. Well played, sir. @chimply.kaiju = psssssst!
Thanks David. I wanted to pair up the Bullmark Gamakujira with the mini Buta. But colors were just way off. I forgot to include this picture with the others.
That little pretty is one of the earliest releases from ilu ilu Subject of my very first SB Marketplace regret: A nearly full one of these, cheap! Slept too long.
Because I missed this earlier, I just have to say how much of a stunner this photo is. This is the perfect colourway with its base vinyl coming through ever achieved IMO, tied at top position with the 'Tokyo' Hedorah (which if you take the Hawaii version, discounts that one). I just love it. Earthtron is such a great kaiju, a personal vintage fave, and you've paired him with a Modern counterpart for me. The balance is perfection. Thanks for this, Anthony!
@toothaction Thanks. Those are quite nice. I'm a big owl guy, so those are great. Never heard of Ilu Ilu before, but that Neo Gorilla is a pretty spectacular sculpt!
@The Moog So neat! They remind me of exotic little candies or something. If I owned one I'd probably end up getting it lodged in my windpipe at some point.
Love those Ilu Ilu minis and have to have one someday! Did someone say owl? View this post on Instagram Hoot hoot.
Love it, Jason! A perfect pairing. So I guess they are team owl, as opposed to owl hunting? Blasters at the ready!
It seems like everyone's loving that Owl guy, but I'm still undecided on that one. I mean, it's weird, man.... It obviously cool, just not sure I would want one on a shelf.
