Thanks for looking, everybody! I'm super-thrilled...still can't stop staring at him. Makin' arrangements to get the second colorway, as insane as that seems.... This weekend, I'll take some pics of me an' him together outside, to give a better sense of the hugeness- wanna get the good natural light again, and it's dark when I leave in the morning and when I return in the evening, on weekdays.... As for the lawn ornament/gnome/jockey suggestions...I pitched it to Gary...he's, uh....resistant to the idea. I'm not gonna push it.
Here's the upcoming second colorway I referenced above (based on the original watercolor character design by Toru Narita): Everyone: "Now Sigmund the Sea Monster and Johnny and Scott are friends..."
Congrats on a sweet score! I think I like the eyes the best. I have a Gamera the same size, they should wrestle.
You're on! Let's do it, next time I'm in Jersey! Losing kaiju takes us all out for dogs..... Eye Scream is doing a sculpt of Pagos from Ultra-Q as the next in this series of frighteningly large toys...it's awesome.
