This thread is my favorite! Not been around for long but it's magnificent. Thanks all for the photos.
Marmit's Robot Keiji K figures are incredible. How many characters have been made? I've already got Missleman and Kaiju Mother (and I've got 2 others on preorder: Depth Charge and Diving Man) I somehow missed Criminal K... ahhh! Have I missed others?
Love that version of Bagun! Here are a few more reasons why Marmit rules... Black Satan (l to r lucky bag, mail-away, PK custom) Draculas (l to r mail-away, lucky bag, Figure-Oh exclusive)
There was another Black Satan lucky bag version released at the same time that was almost exactly the same paints except there were red sprays instead of gold. I shoulda picked up that version when I had a chance, haven't seen one since.
Marmit rules for their classic focus on designs and color schemes. Like the smooth lines on the gold/glow Satan - that looks even scarier with his head spun backward. I dig this company for their refusal to kowtow to the new western vinyl influences in the market and their sheer dedication to the early rotocast and airbrush methods. Newer doesn't always equal better.
Welcome, trichome21--and thanks for posting. I'm just getting into Marmit with these keiji K figures...and man, I dig them.
Oh man, I didn't realize there were more Keji-K guys! I just preordered the gear guy from S7, but if there's more, I've gotta have them. Life has no meaning without the figure of Keji in his hat and coat.
The gear guy (Haguruman) actually appears to be a new sculpt. There were a lot of toys in the Keiji-K VP Miniheroes line which came out maybe a decade ago now. They were- and still are- pretty cheap, if not always easy to find. These new ones are getting pricey for a single figure... kind of a turn-off.
Your right about the earlier releases. I've been obsessed with Keiji K and his robot adversaries for a while and have found a lot of Marmit Keiji K. Here goes.... Here's Haguruman (Gearman) from the original show: And the S7 pre-order: Some others from the original show and their Marmit counterparts are... Koshikakeman (Seatman) Rokaaman (Lockerman) Harisasuman (Needleman) Jirikiman (Magnetismman) Tenagaman Nanatsuman (Sevenman) Part 2 tomorrow....
I didn't know they made a nanatsuman already. cool... it would be sweet to own all of these, but the $65 price tag is much for these. they retail for around 2850yen so to get them at 40 would be good (less would be better). C, you should just hit them up with a link. (I'm too lazy). -g
More Robotto Keiji K robot villains... Sensuiman (Divingman) Bakuraiman (Depthchargeman) Misairuman (Missleman) Ganrikiman (Observationman) Nokogiriman (Sawman) Reidoman (Freezingpointman)
Thanks C! This piece was offered by GT as a pre order item a few months ago and thought it was cool--no idea and don't have any info, anyone??
