Random reasons why Marmit Rules

The pictures on the Marmit do not appear to include every release. I may just not be navigating properly. Like I don't see the robot detective guys or the Godzilla monsters.

That Hyper Hobby Dash 6 does seem to have the whole range of figures, but the web pictures are a bit bigger.

 

Missing these two:

Gojulas was one of the coolest birthday gifts I ever got. I left it in the box, all minty fresh for maybe two weeks before breaking it open and piecing him together. He still sits in a case at my moms house the girlfriend has voiced that he is not allowed to come home.

I don't know that it's true. For example they released the MechaGodzilla (fake Godzilla version) w/Gorilla alien years ago. Last year (or was it this year?) they released a new version of that MechaGodzilla sculpt, but all by himself, and I think they may have just dubbed it Vinyl Paradise? Does anyone know if this is the case?

I got my Bobi today and it is as great as expected ! It has an awesome vintage feeling.
The metallic green paint on dark blue-green vinyl makes a great rendering.

 

I did not think much of this version when I first saw that bagged shot, now I'm thinking It's definitely better than the first release. I should have pulled the trigger when i had the chance. Congrats!

 

Would you still have a pic of the 1st version ?

 

That brown Bobi is actually the second version. The first was blue vinyl with gray sprays if I remember correctly. I didn't save pics.

 

I did a little digging. Seems like this might be the first one. A fine looking beast.

That's it, thanks Blake!

 

wow. news to me, that first version is awesome! Thanks for the correction

 

So there are 3 versions out there ? Do you know when/where the previous 2 were released ?

 

The first version was an event exclusive, Superfest late last year perhaps? I passed and am regretting it since it is my favorite of the 3. The brown version was a February pre-order, due out in May, probably see a few of these pop up soon.

Marmit just listed the June pre-orders:

The 1st version is the best of the lot. I couldn't wing it at that time. They were going for much higher than the recent ones, probably since it was the first new sculpt of a Spectreman kaiju after a long time.

 

Marmit-wise. Bear Model continued to release new standard size regularly those last years.

Not because I own it, but I like the 3rd version better. Gold claws, silver teeth, red ears make nice variations in color.

Hope you'll find one soon Kurumonz

 

they know how to glimmer

 

^^Absolutely fucking gorgeous.

 

I love that black and green one. So much that it's the only thing I've bought off of YJA. But I never received it and a certain bidding service was less than helpful. They did a mid-size one (different sculpt) with the same kind of color scheme and I'm still kicking myself for not picking it up at G-Fest last year.

 

Holy shit you're right - the Para Baby Godzilla 64 DID come in a matching black/glitter color version. Great, another thing to add to my list

 

Marmit Vinyl Para Babies U-TOM (from Ultra Seven)
Marmit Vinyl Para Babies Alien BADO (from Ultra Seven)




one of the best Para Babies Set from Ultraman series

 

BADO is Bad-ass!

That figure has all the things I love about parababies: metallic sprays, restrained use of texture, and a nice balance of paint vs bare vinyl. Great score.

 

And thank you Ricky for putting them up in your for sale thread.

 

It's apparently hard to make an U-Tom that doesn't kick ass.

 

agree, I want the Giant Sized Bear Model.......
