    Congrats again Kuromonz, it is a beauty.

    Definitively makes me want to try my luck again with DR's version when they show up on the club.

    Thanks, guys!

    Its even better in person. There's additional maroon paint on the eyes and head area which I initially thought was red from the pics. Mark did a superb job on the eyes.

    Yeah, this guy seemed to be the favorite. But there's easily a couple more that's on par and I'd be happy to get any of them.

    Now, who else got them? I don't believe I'm the only guy on SB that won.
    I wonder if any ended up in Japan though?

    One of the best figures in my collection. Mark Nagata is taking his craft to new levels.

    Awesome score, Ralph. Out of all the ones in the photo, this was my favorite - the green teeth and black tongue are so cool.

    An email from MN last week indicated that the second wave of these is on an indefinite hold :(
    Ah, hindsight.....

    Not a Gameldon, but painted by Mark himself all the same:

    [​IMG]

    Anyone else pick one up? I found that when I opened mine, the topcoat was a bit tacky, and talked to Mark about it. A couple coats of Future fixed the problem on mine, but it's something to look out for if anyone else picked one up, especially if it's still in the bag.

    Those Dream Rocket customs are an absolute steal... almost the same as normal retail pieces.

    I was really happy to see Sunguts' Resura at the show. Another really cool toy that doesn't get enough attention.

    Agree...Especially if you compare them to the prices of the Toy Karma 2 one-offs.

    For those that have not seen them, Dream Rocket produced a new Hedorah toy for WF:

    [​IMG]

    L to R, "Mercury," "Cobalt," and "Cadmium." This is an entirely new sculpt by DR. They are about the height of a Marnon and hollow underneath.

    Max Toy also released 2 sets of the new minis:

    I really love the Nakayoshi-style Drazoran... hope the candy bottle set makes it over here.

    Yea, that Captain Maxx Mini Set rules.
    And also agree w/ you on how cool that Mini Drazoran is.
    Looking forward to the first US release.

    Yes that's a great set. I'm looking forward to it too !

    Drazoran is amazing, and I love Eyezon & its funny over-developped upper body.

    I've never liked standard-size Alien Xam, but this mini is great.

    The minis are sweet, but I'm really hoping for a really nicely painted sort of 'definitive' set to be released quickly, so I'm not tempted to buy lots of versions of them. Not that I'm not tempted to keep up with the mini Eyezon heat. :mrgreen:

    those hedos are awesome wish they weren't just festival release. Guess you gotta deal with the licensing.
