    He is just making some crazy monsters. From the sculpts to the the paints, these are monsters you can live with. Thanks for posting.

    I give up on Shikaruna. I have a Garumega and a Gaezal and I love them but that's it for me. I can't keep up with their release schedule, and the fact that they keep releasing amazing sculpts with the best metallic colors that coincidentally- are impossible to get!

    no doubt, it's busy but not sloppy or gawdy. probably some of the best paint apps i've seen. that opinion is based only on what i've seen in these pictures.

    Just sold via website, I think. They are now sold out.

    Thanks for the photos. The new Dokuro kaiju and Bagun 2 are madness. I haven't bought S-K stuff in a while, but I will have those two.

    Hm, I hope that we are not done with Garumega. I love that sculpt.

    Btw, it's Chiwosu/Chiosu, not Chiasu. Ch-ch-ch-chia!

    Agreeeeeeeed to the general consensus that Shikaruna is killing it. Hard.

    Anybody know if they have a presence/dealer at SDCC this year? Would love to see some of this stuff in person and/or buy it.

    Re: Shikaruna Kojo

    Dokuro does indeed slay. He's really the only one I've liked a ton besides Gehju Gaezal. I'm afraid to start collecting Shikaruna because of how expansive and limited some of the lines are.

    Yeah me too! That skelleton thing with fur is nuts, though I'm not so hot on their Zag or Desura. I like most the other sculpts, it just comes down to colorways, some blow me away some don't do anything for me.

    Re: Shikaruna Kojo

    i stand by my assertation that shikaruna is the best new talent of the year! this stuff is amazing! i can't imagine where they will be at 5 years down the line and that is truly exciting!

    oh and blooddrinker, you should really get a gander at the zags and desura minis up close, they really are too cool in person. when mine came, i had the odd feeling that i had found my version of rxh mini madness! it made me want them all but i am standing firm on only two examples per monster. he's just turning out to be way more prolific than anyone, dont know how he does it!

    datadub, what is that last picture? it looks like the japanese charlies angels or something. hehe
