looking for my missing brother!

Shared on Reddit but wanted to share here too – Lord Gloom custom 1/1!

 

^^^ I saw this on reddit. I really like this color combo, it was done really well.

 

@General_Tsofubi did the color scheme, I just transferred his mock-up to the toy thank you for posting it here

 

That’s a good one.

 

looks great!! Top notch color combo!

 

I like the pairing of this Cyborg Zag (from the 2017 LB) and this year's Mecha Zag. I don't know if it was intentional, but there is something of a color swap going on with their metallics.

 

One of the clearest photos. When it was original released I thought the green was black.

 

The paint variations between the two Tetrans from last year's LB was a nice touch. The 'missing' silver spray on the Alpha gives it sort of a bootleg feel. I was hoping that they would do something similar with the 'Tokyo' set from this year, but no such luck. (Probably for the best, as it saved me from buying a 2nd Tetran.)

 

What's up all. Still in the shadows. Added a few new ones but always on the hunt! I think last time I posted I still had some of these in bags but I decided they all needed to be opened.

 

Assorted recent things:



From GamJam 2024. Thanks to Gargamel and Bwana for keeping these accessible to us internationally.



This is the Mini Zagoran painted by Butanohana from several years ago. Of all of the minis in that collaboration, this one feels the most like a Buta toy given the color choice and arrangement. I also didn't realize it was on clear blue vinyl until recently. Although we've had the larger figures in clear blue, I think this is the only mini Zag in clear blue.



Comparison of the mystery custom with the matching mini Crouching Zag by Gargamel (and with better lighting). The painting styles definitely seem different, but still, a fantastic job by whoever did the custom.

 

A little late to the party, but happy to have found this little gem

 

ggml & friends

 

From this winter's Thrash Out Show Online. I find myself enjoying the newer style of relatively simple surface paint apps, with patterned cutaways into the guts underneath. For a few years I found myself missing the more straightfoward camos and patterns of 1/1s past, but after owning a couple of these 'cutaway' ones I think the effect is spellbinding.

And of course, the vision and skill behind them is unparalleled.

Spoiler: More photos

 

Gargamel is insanely creative. That looks amazing

 

Is that a new zag body?

 

Yeah, I think so. A bit shorter and much thinner than the Beralgon sized dudes.

 

For everyone that wondered what the Warp Brain would look like as a Gargamess... here you go.

 

Whoa! Whats the story behind that Gargamess head @akum6n ?

 

Dunno. Just popped up on Manda one day with the Warp Brain and a bunch of other fights. I'm guessing they were from the same collection given the similar condition.

 

That Gargamess head!!!!
