    Very cool versions. I think they work on the figure, but - only because my personal preference for paints is against the metallics - I think I would like them better in a plain blue and orange. Probably just stems from my love of vintage/retro simplicity. The paint application is spectacular though, and those are really nice colours. I definitely wouldn't say 'no' if I was given the option. :razz:

    I think the blue works especially well.

    Man, that sucks! And this line is quite expensive and rare! Did you change companies?

    I like the copper version of the Red Baron! Where were this released?

    Does anyone here know the Silver Kamen villian/monster that Kaiju Ken put out like 2 years back?

    Mr. Sato of TE did the sculpt for Kaiju Ken and sadly I passed on it when offered and have been looking for it.
    I am not very familiar with that show but the monster has a Bull head and rock like texture....... Any leads?

    Did you mean the Alien Shine (シャイン星人) ?

    I am not sure what info you were looking for exactly? I can offer that the character is indeed a Silver Kamen villain, as you have said, from episode three [父は炎の中に / 'My Father is in the Fire' (?) ]and there are a few versions from KK (shown above). There may even be some others, as I have seen some paint variants of the above that I am not sure are not just colour/lighting changes. And here are some [bad] stills of the fella in action if you like.



    but this is probably a better image showing some detail, if masking a lot of the parts,


    Hope this is a little help.

    Excellent report, @ultrakaiju. I always enjoy your kaiju primers.

    Good luck on the hunt, @kichigai!

    I don't care for the yellow one, really. The darker they are, the more the face/mouth thing is visible, and that's the main draw imo. The original rubber suit look pretty neat, too.
