That's how I feel too. I recently bought a Raoh and I think these will look great with it like you said. I've been wanting a Kai Thunder, but I couldn't pass on the set of the two together.
I'm in agreement with you folks, gnarly sea monsters like these are the bee's knees. And GID is icing on the cake. LOVE Gorgonzola's back in this set.
^ It is a consensus, my Raoh and Kai Thunder currently sit next to each other on a shelf. When I get the Blobpus version I'll probably swap the Kai Thunder so the similar paint apps can sit side by side. They are both shelf hogs, but man, I love them.
I hope I got my preorder in on time, wanted a Kai thunder since I saw them, for me its toy perfection *Edit -paid, cannot wait
The other thing with this set is the Gorgonzola paint. I've always really liked this sculpt but was never moved to buy one because of the paint. Kaji really elevated this toy with this paint app.
Seems like he's hanging on for a few extra preorders, I thought the Kai thunder would have been a real popular preorder but I'm getting the feeling that's not the case. If love to get a blank GID one, wonder if he'd accept an order and not paint haha
I know with some of these releases the occasional one-off gets sent out to a lucky customer, but I love the normal versions so much that I hope I get the normal release. Sounds odd to say but they look that good to me.
No worries, if you do get the one-off, I will trade you the regular version. I am curious as well. I thought KT would be more popular between the two.
Please forgive me in advance for the oversized pic heavy upload but I had some serious "toy nerd" fun today with every Blobpus Dokugan I possess in the old collection.. my cousin came over that does wedding photography on the side and he just has a way WAY better camera than I do so we set up his lamps and got some really fun shots knocked out despite the weather being super windy here in Tampa this afternoon.. little guys kept falling over left and right and had to keep re-positioning them.. hope all you guys & gals enjoy the imagery..

I didn't figure I'd have too much trouble finding someone to trade. Sumatra, that is quite the army you have there. Nice pictures too.
Your not missing anything, it just felt like the preorder was kept open past the set date, I would have thought if it was a really popular preorder it would have been more strict or like i've seen in some cases close early. It was just a feeling i got I could be very much mistaken. I ordered the Kai thunder myself
It only ends early if there is a set number and it reaches it before the date. If it's an open order, there is no reason to close early. Also sometimes people ask for a longer close date, which Kaji will sometimes honner. Just some food for thought. I highly doubt these did bad, I'm still betting this was the more popular choice.
Great pics, really makes me want to get more of them. Is this one a regular release? BTW, Blobpus posted some of these on IG.
it's a regular release, the frozen version. i think it came out about the same time as the christmas dokugan, but i don't remember 100%
Thank you wretched cp & a.tom.....!!! I gotta check out Kanji's Instagram to see what he posted... yeah' that frozen one is an older X-mas Dok that glows in the dark.. there is only one custom in the bunch that was done by Buffmonster, a cyclopas version.. kinda grey with a solid pink eye
It was released at the same show as an X-Mas Blobpus Last Kaiju, end of 2006, but different show from the X-Mas Dokugan. @sumatra- That is a very respectable assembly of Dokugans/Cyclopus, and it's nice to see someone that has kept up with a particular company/character over the years. I am envious of your clear orange and clear green Dokugans. Makes me wonder if that Pumpkin Guts Dokugan was ever made/sold, to say nothing of the chrome silver and gold painted versions (think gold was released, chrome silver, maybe not).
Thank you so much akum6n....!!! Happy to hear such comments from such a respected and informative board member.. there are so many elusive Dokugans out there that I wish I could get my hands on... especially the Clear Pink, Yolk and Poisonous Blizzard versions.. the journey continues and would drown a newborn baby for these two... totally j/king around.. lol
