and that was for the blue one...imagine what one of the rainbow versions or this GID would go for...which I'm sure we'll see now that we've seen that kind of price.

fuck this shit. this toy is awesome, but they can shove it as far as I'm concerned. if I can't get one for retail or for a retail equivalent trade, I'm not gonna sweat it. I'm done contributing to the monster that makes toys cease to be fun. right now, thinking about getting this toy is more of a chore than it's worth.

Nonsense!

If you're only 17, just wait a few years and you'll be able to pick up all of this stuff cheap on eBay from our widows after we're all dead.

Patience!

No truer words were ever spoken......my g/f said she'd just dump them in the garbage (I think she was joking)

Thanks. I got lucky. I know that. If I would have had to pay a flipper price this would never be in my possession- period. I completely agree with m3kcomp, prices are out of control. Unfortunately people keep paying them.

I love the sculpt,but I don't like the idea it's a shelf diver..
I like my fig's to be solid.
64000 yen!!! What a dumbass!
I've paid stupid money for figures before,but nothing like that.

If my friends and family new I spent $60 bucks on toy figure's they would probably think I was a dumbass..LOL!!

Fortunately, I don't see the appeal of this figure.

I like the toy. I really do. I like it enough to even shell out what I figure to be a fair "retail" price, say, $100. Which probably won't happen for some time until this thing goes the way of the full-size galtan. until then, i'll pass.

Now looking at it, the Mother's size is perfect. The Zudon could have been a bit smaller?

The Mother is nice but will see how long the hype runs for. There is an agent offering 38,000 yen per new release of Mother guaranteed. I find that funny. I rather spend that money on rare classics of other brands than spend this on future releases with a lockdown guarantee. Plus you don't see a preview to helpthe decision even though you pay that much money for it.

I'm with you! Let the dust settle and pick one up in a few months when everyone has moved on to the next MUST HAVE! :wink:

Beautiful score, C! Nice pics. So bummed that I didn't score this. The first lottery that I have ever entered (not surprised that I lost). This Mother is one that I've gotta have, but have to agree with others here that patience will pay off in the long run. This is also one of the few that I had to have before I take a break. Maybe someday...

Excellent shots of a gruesome toy. Really like the idea of the small removeable car... did all the versions so far include one ?

Here's a pic for size comparison.
She sits pretty firm. Not wobbly and certainly no diver. I guess its because the size of the head and the sculpt does have a forward lean. The feet are like matango's.

C, knew you'd bum something to make room. I had to bum 3 semi-ningen. :)

No. In fact, surprisingly light. Much lighter than Shikaruna's.

Nice comparison shot kuru. Yesterday was like a dream, I just spent the last 15 minutes staring at the mother in the case not believing I actually own one. It's pretty unreal. Next thing I'm chasing though is another detolf!

Those silver rivet bits on head is quite cool. Must've been hell painting those.
Thanks, C.

You're most welcome. You'll need to stop over in Hawaii, then Japan. It'll be 7hrs flight from Tokyo to Singapore.

Always love PK's pics. Has a strong identity with that out-of-focus toys background and signature glass top w/ display below. Cool!!
