    I am completely with James on this one. Hirota can make the next five releases all for his friends only, and I would still think it is amazing. Why shouldn't he hook up people he knows with the products of his craft, it is the same as anything else. Plus, at least you know they will be going to people who it means something to and have a connection with the toy. That is more important than appeasing any whiny toy nerds (and potential flippers) any day of the week.

    I think the omakes have been a bit of extra tracking method, to see at least roughly, what ended up where, since flippers were covering the numbers. I don't think he necessarily made individual ones for each, but there are definite variants among them. Of course now, a lot it takes place surreptitiously without any photos, but there is nothing anyone can do about that.

    Love your little alien rich, what a superb bonus on an already great mail day. Congrats again!

    Rich beautiful Omake. looks freaking awesome.

    Hirota makes amazing product, he's fair of the way he distributes it too I think. I think we should all be happy that its not a closed list, and we have a chance at owning his work at a comfortable retail price, rather than a $5-800 price tag.

    I was told the painted omake(s) are all 1/1. Each one is painted different... is this true?

    I don't think so, these omakes aren't painted they are all unpainted, but in the past I think most of the omakes have shared the same paint or maybe there are a few versions with the missles.

    The omake for this King of Gorilla-jyu release though true they are unpainted there seems to be a lot of different color vinyl version for each figure. We already have seen dark olive drab, orange, clear green with glitter, light blue, a marble, and who knows what else.

    Seeing the unpainted black one at nycc was insane, so bummed I missed this. And the omakes are rad too.

    Love that orange vinyl! It would look good with the blue.

    ^ I was thinking the same thing. That orange with the blue gorilla would look stunning.

    This surely was a toy not to miss. Great that the Omake are all different.

    Congrats again to the winners ! I surely could have some toys to go with my posters some day :lol:

    The very early Gorilla-Jyu native omake have all been the same. Hirota didn't start the variations on the omakes until the first Mecha Gorilla-Jyu.
