The first guy, Nasura, seems like it's translated properly. Nasu is the japanese word for eggplant so that name fits. I wonder if he has a face. I hope it eventually comes in purple.
In terms of sculpts for some newer toys on the scene, I am really getting attached to the Yamomark characters....moreso than the Elegab stuff. The Yamomark minis especially....
^^^^ So the Nasura has a scored underbelly and is smooth on top but no real facial features that I can see. Correct? Is it as big as it looks (6-7 inches?) I like that it looks cool both standing or crawling on all fours. This eggplant creature is starting to grow on me.
That baby sold out in no time flat. Love the ladybug. Imagine one of these on the shelf with a vintage Plant Man and a new Vampire Rose. It would be tempting to water the toys instead of dusting them.
I don't really keep up with ALL the colorways of these guys. Connell, where's that clear Mushroom Soup Dude from? It's killer! Anyway, I sure hope GT comes out with a gid Yamobazooka. I love the Dead Presidents ones because they have the cool gid spots!
Not until GT comes out with a pink one first Sanjeev. So bummed I wasn't able to land a clear pink from the Yamo Kaiju Blue show.
Personally I'm waiting on GID Mushroom Soup Man to go with my GID Matango Man by Marmit. I have a strong suspicion it's right around the corner....
From KadomiumTank's blog....pics from the Yamomark exhibition at Marui' One's Kaiju Blue. HPs are absolutely incredible, esp the Barbarians....DAMN: http://pink.ap.teacup.com/kadomiumtank/
Good call...I've been wondering how MSM would look on my Matango shelf! Hmm...maybe I should try tracking down that clear SDCC one...looks pretty groovy. Anyway, I know Dead Presidents is doing a MSM and it's gonna have gid parts (not straight up gid vinyl, though).
