    As you would expect from M1, these guys have totally awesome paint. Both are black vinyl. Sanda is painted brown with purple spray and Gaira is a fantastic metallic green with yellow. Both have silver spray on their hands and feet and well painted faces. Anyone else have these?

    Nup, and not sure I could even guess what they look like, but damn the paint sounds fine.

    Was there a movie w/those characters in it-something like a godzilla/king kong theme to it-the brown was the bad one and the green was the good guy-I vaguely remember as a child seeing this movie-the only reason i remember it is the 3 years of nightmares it gave me-lol-the title was Gargantuan something....

    You got it - "War of the Gargantuans" was a Toho movie directed by Inoshiro Honda. I think there were several alternate titles. Actually though, I believe the green guy (Gaira) was the bad one and his brown brother (Sanda) was the good one. Lots of wreckage - and Kumi Mizuno too! :D

    These toys are really nice, if you hit the bay try all seaches not just gargamel I saw a set with an opening bid of 100.00, I think you could have scored the set for this price.

    If you guys start collecting old school monsters M1 is the way to go, no one surpasses their quality. They are Gargamels mentors so that is saying alot.

    Great - here comes more competition on those Matango auctions! Remember though, CCP hedorahs suck! ;)

    Actually, I once told a guy with a pretty big collection that I wanted to concentrate on Matango toys. He said "I wish I'd thought of that..."
