    Looks like a dripping cannelloni to me. The claw hands are great.

    Waiting patiently for the color tests.

    +subtle metallic rainbow hues. That would be the best version to have.

    Reminds me of Jim Woodring. Not that that's a bad thing...or a good thing. I certainly like this better than Shuttlegon, but not nearly as much as Tonneran or MPC. Might be on par with Puppet Seijin for me where I'll like some painted versions but not others.

    Anyone else score the Glitter Tonneran? I was able to get the yellow spray, can't wait to see this in hand.

    One of you dudes just needs to tell me if the glittery Tonneran is squishy when you get it. Elegab's see-thrus are usually squishy, but how squishy is a toss-up.

    These were not lottety if I'm not mistaken, but made according to the orders, so normally there should be no miss on this one.

    I think you are mistaken. I think there were a set amount of blanks & the winner's figure was painted per the color they selected.

    Oh, sorry... I read quickly the offer at the time and I thought I remembered something like that :oops:

    I should not rely on my lousy memory...

    I hope Nari goes back to do some more of those smaller fabulous kaiju again soon.

    Me too, I think it'd be cool to do an "all mini pack" like how he packs the kajiu patrol car minis all together. Do a package where it's one of all the other mini's in a set.

    Having missed the earlier Elegab mini efforts, I would love an opportunity to be able to pick some of those up.. The Elegab figures really work well as a whole, diverse line, with small, medium, and large creatures that interact.

    The pancakes? Sounds good to me but there better be some peanut butter too.

    Actually not the first version - this looks like the 2nd/3rd version - and yes, looks identical. I love Shuttlegons, but not sure why Nari would release one that looks so similar.

    Someone who can read/write Japanese should email him about this. With the proper explanation perhaps he'd scrap the blue version and just offer red/green/unpainted.

    The base vinyl on the earlier version is grey as well.

    with the exception of the green, he states on his site that the others are reproductions of the 1st v. shuttlegon with some slight spray variations.
