    Thanks kurumonz. The purple one you scored is amazing as well.

    G&F- Salama is kinda scary I guess. I love the deformed weirdness of the sculpt.

    I am wondering if someone from the board scored the clear, rainbow Marine Kong a couple days ago. That sure was a beauty.

    Saw that yesterday also. I'm pretty sure Chris is not making much off those and would offer them lower if he could.. Actually I think Marine Kong's are way over priced in general and just pretend they aren't around or part of the SK line.

    i saw these and was confused what the collaboration with killer j was, as grumbletoy's site says they're handpainted by shikaruna. that must be an error?

    Those are all great toys! The middle row on the left is just like the one I saw on YJA. So tempting but I can't afford one.

    Thanks Ted, found in on the Bay.

    Does anyone have some more HP GID Dorol's. Would love to see some pictures. Can someone tell me some more about the release i scored. Opening page tells me siccaluna released "Killer J GID One off's" but I am pretty sure both mine are painted by siccaluna himself.. Please correct me if i"m wrong. Thanks!

    The aggressive stance of Igaru and that monstrous grin make this one of my favorite sculpts. Is this close to a full line up? I know of an all gold version I don't have, but are there others?

    I don't recall ever seeing any HP versions either.
    Any assistance with additional versions to hunt is appreciated. :D

    jcat; That GID killer j painted 1-off looks pretty damn good!
    melek_taus; Those Igaru's look awsome, I don't have any of them yet but thanks for letting me know I need a few of those too ;)
    I'm not completely sure but I remember seeing 1-off Igaru's somewhere some time ago....

    @ martoy: thanks, yours is looking pretty good too!
    @ melek_taus: great igaru lineup! there were some hp versions in the last batch of lucky bags.
    i received this one, and know i've seen pictures of another similar to it.

    @melek- Whoa! That's a herd!

    @jcat- That's some fantastic color combination! Awesome!

    I really think SK has one of the best colors on Kaiju. Really bold.

    Martoy- Thanks. And yes, you should add a few to your collection. Fun, hefty sculpt with killer paint of course.

    jcat- I think I am almost as addicted to Igaru as you are to Garumega. :lol: That is a beauty of an HP!

    Lixx- I was just thinking I would love to see a GID or some clear, with spray, versions.

    Did this ever get answered? Are these painted by Shik (as GT say) or by KJ?

    I got my MANDARAKE SHIBUYA - ORDER CONFIRMATION for Shikaruna Chiwosu (NAGOYA Sp Edition / molded clear blue) This was my first MANDARAKE order and if nothing goes wrong with shipping this guy to the Netherlands it wont be my last order;)

    I hope someone knows more about this release. I don't even know if this guy is full-size or smaller... I know SP is handpaint. But i don't know if it was the work of Siccaluna or Killer J (MANDARAKE used KillerJ as a search tag) i don't know..
