Nice Bemon, Walter! This dude showed up recently... I was into it when I first saw the pics, but once I had it in hand, I was beyond stoked. The body has tons of glitter, and the left arm is a really nice pearl white. One thing that surprised me, is how much heavier this one is than my other mixed parts guy. The body feels a lot more solid. Has anyone else noticed that with theirs?
I've noticed the same thing. I have one official painted version and a couple that are/were mixed parts and there's a pretty big weight and sturdiness difference. The painted one (the brown with metallic blue sprays and yellow eyes) is much lighter than both of the mixed parts and its various parts seem to fit more loosely together.
Very nice parts on that guy wingnut0! I also love how dirty and dingy the grey arm looks, and you cant go wrong with the orange push-pop head! Great piece!
That's a nice one you've scored there Wing and yes, mixes are often way heavier than other painted Bemons (although some HP are pretty heavy too, I remember some featherweights such as the yellow 'rasta' or the FP camo kougai). I love the heaviness, one of the things that got me into Bemon in the first place.
Yeah, my green painted is pretty hefty. Or maybe a good medium weight. Man, I'm really getting enticed by these mixed-parts. The more I look at them, the more I want!
FP edition of 10 When I first started collecting kaiju 3 years back, I always thought Kougai kaiju was a joke and how wrong am I! An acquired taste for sure, this is the embodiment of what a kaiju is all about: Weird, cute, ugly and fun!! Thanks to Joe on pointing me on the right path and the uber ultra awesome boardie who parted this to me !
I will definitely need to knock on your doors someday haha, wanna build up a cool orange (not to mention the mixed parts of yours has a similar grey right arm to my left)! now to find the orange body and right arm lol
Not that I'm aware of (need to check but I doubt), it's more light green with some little lighter swirls, almost white, on the bottom back. Never seen other parts made in the same way, would be absolutely awesome to find head and arms. MGS!
My first Kougai Kaiju . . . . thanks again C. The glittery-gold 'arm' is the icing on this sludgie cake !! Bemon by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Bemon by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Bemon by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Bemon by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr

^^ haha, thanks? I waited a long time for a mixed parts with colours i really liked and finally this one knocked it out of the park !!
