I really like the new sculpt! But how is the alien gonna hold the omake without thumbs?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

my take on this is that it's just another omake to use for his next release of the MG2. same as he's done before with the male/female and rocket/soldier omakes.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

But it looks like it's fully articulated. The omake aren't usually articulated are they?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

The natives are articulated at the waist

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

It's the same articulation as the omakes with the previous MG2's.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Wow!..Really nice. I had been hoping this would get made.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Ha! It's the creature from the header of his old blog on goo! Nice, I was also hoping he would eventually make this.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Yes! That is cool. What else can be said?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Ah man, Stretch Monster?!?! Are you fucking kidding me, I used to have one of these when I was a kid, one of my favourite toys!! Super heavy and such a great head sculpt. Back to HS, nice sculpt but the colourway doesn't excite me... how about something a bit closer to the original, green vinyl perhaps and some wild colourway?

BTW I'd love to find one of these still in good conditions... unfortunately time has dried em all up

Holy shit I want a Vac-Man

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Never had a stretch xray but he looked pretty awesome too!!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

i remember seeing those everywhere as a kid. in retrospect the dude had a mullet and was always in a leotard.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

were there two versions of the first mecha gorilla ju? it looks unquestionably blue in a lot of pictures, but in some others it looks black. like this one:

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Stop by the first page of this thread.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

that's where the picture, and question, arose.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Looks blue to me. Dark, but blue.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Agreed. Look at the fist on the left and you'll see it. The black background is playing a trick on your eyes.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

ok, i figured there probably weren't two versions of it. bums me out a bit, cuz i really like the black+red look as opposed to the actual black one with the blue midsection.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

That vinyl color is blue55, same as these.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

The base for that last mecha ju is gray. But I think you're right, the first two are very similar in color, despite the go ju being semi-translucent. There's an unmistakable richness to it.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Sorry I used the wrong photo, I would like to say the 2nd release is blue55



and maybe the new guy

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

I love the colorway for this new lizard. or maybe I just love blue 55. well, probably both.
