    I don't know about releasing these guys. I totally see the play factor, and I'm all for toys coming out of plastic bags, but these guys look like their made to be shown in the box. They look so perfect as-is, I'd have a hard time setting them free (I especially like the vehicle boxes).

    I like the packaging and plan on keeping them in. At least temporarily.

    I want to display them along side my Bullmark boxed re-issue MG pieces in a new case.

    These boxes are a direct continuance / rip-off / improvement of Bullmark large vinyl packaging. Which is as far as I know the first anyone has done since Bullmark. So the packaging deserves some shine.

    As a designer and creative, I feel the story is only half told taking these little guys out.
    I'm sure after I get my kicks of them on parade in box, that I will rotate it around.

    It's obvious the packaging was worked on as much as the pieces. So I'm paying my respects.

    Please use any of my photos here at SB or if it can help/inspire you in anyway.

    I finally got around to using instagram and like it a lot. I think having a toy Oriented Svpply is also in my near future.
    I also would like to see these with some Mecha Gorilla Ju action. My ark kong, both original and toybot bootleg love these guys.
    And there is always Zenda Gorilla too... a great Takatoku toy from the Tatsunoko character files.

    Re: ILU ILU: Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, and other toys!

    I was tempted to keep my Gorillas in the box as well but truth is they really take on a new life once removed... albeit painful exposure is a must with these guys (IMHO).

    Now the Gorz... very tempted to keep him boxed... guess I'm a hypocrite ;)

    It's not like they're sealed up all tight. Bust them out, if you'd rather have them in box toss the things back in. It's like twisty ties on the feet.

    Re: ILU ILU: Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, and other toys!

    If you don't take them out of the packaging, one can't see or appreciate the total 360 degree design. For example, one has no sense of the Gorz without the helmet or the design from the back.

    Just saying...

    Besides, in 12-24 months, they'll be worth $50 or so as people focus on the next couple hyped figures

    Neo Gorilla got substance plenty.
    Is my grammar wrong in my "I Love Linden" toys post?
    If it is... Sorry, I was writing from the heart and meant well.

    Brilliant to allow the evil micro guy to be fitted inside Gorz.

    Thanks. Yeah, Pepy's deadly. And he/she knows how to put on the bling. Love the sea-monkey crown lion buckle chain belt thing! Sorry, don't know how else to describe it.

    Nice photo kurumonz. Does the head come of in two pieces(I'm curious how the micro fits in)?

    Thanks.

    The body splits at the waist. But the legs cavity makes the gnome shift around to much. I stuff in some bubble wrap so he stands better.

    I was hoping that the clear top come off too but no, the mask's one piece.

    Ahhh...If it did not split at the waist It would also be difficult to fit the foil chest piece in. Thanks!

    Those photos are awesome - totally jealous of those pieces. Also that gnome, it's actually Dr. Gorz.
    According to the story/description on the packaging, the robot is actually his invention "The Strategic Weapon of Dr. Gorz".

    I think it looks more like me -- My beard reaches my belly button.

    Someone sell me a Gorz because of that. Thanks a ton.

    What is scary is how much detail and attention is given to what is initially unviewable to the eye.
