I would love to get my hands on one of the blank Battle packs with the Gameldon some day. The blank set with the Gumos was one of my first purchases. DR makes amazing Kaiju.
OG Orange Gamerudon vs Recent Pachi Summit Orange Gamerudon Looks like the only difference is the Silver vs Gold eyes and teeth?
Good info, Joe. I think this was what we were talking about the other week? Maybe T-E is trying to counteract the flippers.
Guess I don't need the new Orange version then. But is it wrong that I still want it? At least I can add a Yellow one to my collection. The original one still escapes me.
definitely not wrong, u need it they are different versions afterall. besides there are so few of the pachi version sold at PS, u can count them in one hand.
Some call it completism. Others call it OCS. Than there's some who call it straight up madness. Whatever you call it, it's still the same thing, spending money on a slight color difference. The choice is yours, choose your fate!
TE is doing a few more of the different "re releases" to be sold next month. It looks like Pachi Sami wasn't the only chance at the gold eye version.
Is the new "Yellow" release slightly different from the og or has that paint scheme not been determined yet? I'm really curious to know why T.E. choose such a slight paint variation from the og. I can see where some manufacturers would make slight variations on an initial release while in production, for example the Dempagon Smogun version where he added blue to the toes and made it the "Alpha". But that's done as it's being produced, whereas this Gamerudon is a new release yet they choose to mimic that first one.
Here's a new Super Festival 51 Red version. I'v also attached the Pachi Summit version. It's actually a bright red and not orange.
I like how the green looks in the top picture. It'd be great to see a painted up body with that color.
Man those YJA pics were awful. If I would have known that the SF 51 Gamerudon was a completely different one I might have bid. That green is really nice.
Yeah, the pics were terrible! But I took a gamble and went ahead, it did look different from previous release.
Seems like the new Yellow Gamerudon is less heavily painted compared to the original. I personally like the new one a lot better. The paint on the original looks caked on. However, the new Pachi Summit Red one is really too similar to the original Orange one. I think the vinyl color is almost the exact same color. It's definitely not Red as the new Super Festival one. Original Yellow & Orange: New Yellow: New Pachi Summit "Red": New Super Festival Red: Here's a "variant" Yellow one. Notice what's missing?
Joe did you ever get an original yellow? The paint is definitely not "caked on" in fact I think it's one of the better paint jobs I've seen. The paint on the new yellow looks a bit too light and faded to me Oh it's definitely the missing red spray under the arms
Ding ding ding! I don't mean literally caked on like some horrible n00b had painted it. I just mean vs the new one it seems more heavy handed. But anyways, both are great. I wouldn't mind finding the OG Yellow still.
I won okay, so you can send me this red fink shit as a reward well, I guess this "variant" is a kind of chase...not sure the painter forgot to paint so many figures like this one
