Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Others

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

This. We're all lucky he is even making the toys.

 

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



What's the story behind these? Never heard of them before.

 

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

There was a Mecha one made too. I don't know anything else about them except that I'd love a set.

 

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

They were up on mandarake the other day. Not the mecha one but the other one. I like them but I wouldn't purchase them considering they would just sit flat on the shelf.

 

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

I saw but passed. Plus for the price, to throw on my jacket and eventually get lost or jacked? Not worth it.

 

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

How much was it?

 

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

4000 yen each

 

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

Considering how uncommon it probably is to come across these pins I'd say 4000 isn't too bad. That's just me though.

 

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

Considering that, yeah. I'm not saying they were a bad price. For what I'd want to use them for (display on jacket) I wouldn't spend the money. That's all I was getting to.

 

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

Hey I just noticed that the fist on the Mechas and Jus for different releases are...different. Some are: one open one close on the left or right and/ or both open or close. Cool.

Was this mentioned before anywhere?

Sorry....my personal moment of enlightenment.

 

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

yes, it was discussed before, probably buried under the early pages.
The first closed fist gj was the ver 2 release, the godzilla blue.
The omake that comes with the closed fist gj is different too. it is squishy as it is designed to be held in gj's mouth instead of the palm. The mixed palm/fist came I think with the ver 1+, 2+. Then the subsequent versions released down the road alternated between these combinations.

 

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

^Cool. Thanks for the info!

 

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

They're all the same on Mecha's though right? Right hand fist left hand open.

 

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

All of the images are on Page 1. Yes, I believe it was discussed on one of the pages but can't recall which one..probably within the first 10.

 

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

Out of the bag pic of Mecha Gorilla-ju Version 9.

 

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

Gotta admit Hawaiian Mecha Ju is quite beautiful! Is that a GID Missle Choon? You lucky S.O.B!

 

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

Damn, that is a very nice take on the Hawaii scheme, love the metallic green over black. Using the yellow only on the face is very thoughtful.

 

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

@Chris- Yup I am. But not half as lucky as you on that to vintage.

Here' the weird part. The missile is GID but almost doesn't glow. There'e s mixture of pearl vinyl in it.

@Yuck- And the red spray over the pink vinyl makes for nice and subtle layering. HS scheme are always well thought out, yes?

 

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

That Pink vinyl POPS! Damn it I need this mecha..

congrats kurumonz!

 

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

I love it.

 

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

That pink is to die for

 

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

or at the very least dribble over in an awestruck fanboy kind of way. ANd Im talking about me here Jace.
