So I happened upon an auction that had a surfing gamora! Any idea on who made these? When? The listing doesn't have the company but the size (5" x 10"). The baltan freakin KILLS. The BIN on this was $199 but that seems a bit steep. Thanks!
I'm partial to the Redking. Even has one of the original Bullmark colorways. I love kaiju on tanks but surfboards ... way too fun. Even monsters need a little rest and recreation, and when they're done having fun, they can destroy L.A.!
that would be good. I tried to google "surfing kaiju baltan", "bandai surfing baltan", "bandai surfboard baltan" and nothing came up...and the "gotta have it" drive is building
Found a brief discussion from a couple of years ago, complete with dead links: http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,152717
I saw the Red King one on ebay a while back. I don't remember the price being that high. I think I saved a picture. If I can find it, I'll post it later. Kaiju on surfboards is hilarious.
that is crazy! i wonder how they thought up that one. i'd like to see a parachuting hedoran, or gigan in a hotrod...
a mighty big thanks to akum6n for the help -- I found some on YjA here Prices are still high, but there's Red King at least. Now that the tax return came in I just might do some investing........ silver_lining_man - have you seen the Toygraph racers? while not true hotrods, it is pretty close and they have a good selection of kaiju driving! My road rally of 8 cars can be noisy at times
i have heard of them, but i guess i have never seen them. at least i think i haven't. i'll hve to look for some. yeah, kaiju driving cars cannot be missed!
i checked up on these cars by toygraph...do the numbers mean anything, or are they just picked at random?
holy flippin' crap hypermook - that ultraman "album cover" picture is freakin' my brain out! Where the hell did that come from? SLM - the numbers that I've seen usually are sequential -- this gamera is a "special" edition car and they went with a high number. I think most were 1-12.
that's what i figured it was for. anyways, thanks for informing about these. i saw the zegoran when checking the toygraph stuff out, and i love it. that is definitely my next purchase!
