Tripod legs would have been awesome! I'll put my final opinion on hold until I see a better photo - we really can't see much of anything except a basic shape in the first photo.
Personally, I can't wait. C'mon, does Zollmen ever let down? I put them up there with Target Earth and Hukkukudo, everything makes me smile!
"enban-kaiju" is the name. maybe they anticipated not many folks will be thrilled with this unpainted colourway, so there are very few of these first release.
I meant the name on the foot, [マザー]. I wonder if they just pulled the prototype in the leftover orange vinyl from the Zudon. Looks like they use the same base color.
It looks like the vinyl castings lost a lot of the detail that's present in the original wax sculpt. The orange pull shows the sculpt off better than the bagged photo, but the texture seems to lack the high contrast peaks and valleys of the original sculpt. I still might have to get one because I love the idea...still have to wait and see.

looking better out of the bag!! a nice paint job will definitely help....or atleast they should have done a proto black.. can it stand upright
I like it a lot...the pics make me think of coral. The only issue I would have is how the neck joins the body...not a very smooth transition. Paint is going to finish this nicely...plus I love all the pose options.
I'm with NT. But then again, it could be the uniform glossiness of the orange vinyl that's obscuring the detail. I think the original grey pic Joe reposted on the first page seems to show a lot more sculpt detail because the material is matte and the lighting seems to be a point source, rather than diffused (resulting in harder shadows). That added contrast makes the machine parts really stand out from the organic bits. If the production paint job restores that contrast between the machine and organic bits, I'd say it'll be a big winner.
this proto orange version was sold in very small quantities on sunday.. i believe the next release is already lined-up,,i am sure it will be a painted version too...
The face is awesome. I will definitely be wanting one of these. A clear 'stealth / invisible' version would be very nice.
