A few years ago for sure, I think they were a special release at the Niigata Children's museum. I have passed on this set a few times and always regret it!
I almost snared this set from Mandarake last year, only to get the dreaded "sold out" email. it sucked to see it on ebay a week later too.
Is that hoop prize Hedorah glittery, Yuck? I was close to picking one of those up years ago...I'm kinda sorry I passed on it!
^^^ Yes it is. You should if you get a chance, the Beams GID they did since then are pretty great, but I still think that one is the best version... the gold/purple/turquoise is just gorgeous.
There was talk of this Biollante being released, but that was years ago. Still hope it happens someday, this color is beautiful. M1号 Biollante (never released) by Omocha to Neko, on Flickr
^^Huh...are there other pics available of that version, Dennis? It doesn't seem ALL that different from the original green one...but that could just be the lighting...or my crappy monitor! Gabara is AWESOME, by the way! And, Yuck, I can't get any Hedorah toys: my gf will kill me! She *hates* Hedorah!! LOL
Well Sanjeev, at least she cares to know some of the characters you collect enough to hate them! A couple favorites:
Love that Gezora Yuck, and I just scored that Rodan a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying to catch all the rainbow spray figs, so far I have Rodan and Gamera.
I think I have all the rainbow sprays, Gezora, Rodan, Chibull, Gamera, and does rainbow back Angilas count? Are there any others?
There are two styles of glow Ghidorahs. This one is not exactly 'rainbow' but it is pretty close. Hard to make out all the different colours going on, but if the gold was a bit more yellow, you could see it it more.
There is a Ritora with a rainbow tail, it's on CT but Ill snap some pics of mine too next time I photographing. The Anguirus definitely counts, and is the last I need incidentally. I wish I could have grabbed that one you linked me back when!
So...keeping in mind that I'm dumb as shit, is there a reason or show/cinema link to the rainbow sprays? Is it related to anything or just "creators choice"?
