I was looking for a dedicated M1-GO thread, and was surprised that there was not one already. Fixed that. I LOVE these guys. My all-time favorite stuff, next to the original Bullmarks and Marusan. Yuji is a paint master, and every release shows the love he has for this stuff. I started collecting M1 as soon as I saw them, back in the early 90s. I'd love to have everything someday, or at least one version of every sculpt.
Nice! I have some M1-go stuff which I need to shoot. For me, they tend to be my #1 search...too bad their prices on 3rd party sites tend to be $$$
Thanks! They are great art, very inspirational. They have already shown up in my paintings. Kaiju Kiss, 2009, 72" x 72", acrylic and spraypaint on canvas
ha - that's awesome. I was wondering if you were "that coop" a very old print of yours graces our bedroom at the foot of the bed. I had heard you had a pretty sick collection of kaiju.
Lucky Bags started my obsession with M1 and Marmit.. I can't stay away from that stuff. The unpainted GID mothra twins are on my short list of favorite unpaints of all time.
Love the thread, Coop. Here are a few old pics I've taken... Club Daikaiju: Mammoth Flower (with Sunguts Mothra): MG2 (with Marmit Parababy):
Wow Coop, those are some outstanding shots! I'm don't know what camera you're using but they look like they are right here in front of me. Amazing! (don't tell me about cameras, I know nothing they are just so clear and breathtaking)
I should post the dozen or so that I have before Baikin comes and slaughters us with his collection...
though i sold my M1 collection off many years ago, there were two i just couldnt sell. back in the day when M1 released titanosaurus, it was the first time anyone had seen a standard size version of this monster. it lived up to all the hype and then some.
how can you not like a monster with a space ship on its back ? if mike johnson gets a hold of this thread......
As somebody else said, it's Demon Hunter Mitsurugi. This was a figure that came with a limited edition laserdisc set of the series. I got mine as a gift from Yuji, after helping him recover his rental car from a LA impound lot. He had parked in a red zone in front of Meltdown Comics, and got towed! I drove him to the lot, and helped negotiate the release of the car. He gave me this one, as well as a T-28 that was also a laserdisc set premium, and a couple of other vinyls.
