Fantastic photo! I only have a couple, too, but love 'em both and plan to keep buying the Matangos and Hedorahs. Anyone into the Charactics Biollante? I like the colorways but am not totally crazy about that monster. Still Charactics' is the best Biollante scupt I've seen. Some by other companies get a little out of hand.  Er, limb.

That's such a great pic Tim!
They look good enough to eat! Like gummi candies.

Beautiful!
The candy comparisons are right on, kind of makes me want a Hedorah jello mold and a Mantango popsicle mold.

Thanks guys! As a group there really is a nice balance in terms of colour. Charactics rules!

Sweet!
Yes, the balance of color really makes the group pop. Each figure seems to compliment the others perfectly.
Very, very nice!!!

Thanks everyone.
These toys are real gems and are just that perfect combination of size and sculpt.
Now for the new mini Hawaii Matango to arrive along with his FW Hedorah side kicks! I'm really excited to get the new Hedorah in hand.

Chris Minis are scary addictive. I've tried to stear clear of them from time to time as they have a tendency to add up quickly and suddenly they seem to have multiplied out of control and you're left wondering where to put them all!
When it comes to Charactics minis though, there simply is no comparison in my opinion. They truly are like little gems in my collection and something I always come back to.

Chris Go for it! They're easy enough to find With x-mas coming up, buying a kozik galtan, winning three or four YJA auctions-I might be out of commission for a month or so. Can't use the excuse I was buying rare japanese toys to the g/f come x-mas morning (though she does support my collecting madness without much fuss). It's a dumb holiday IMO but you know how it goes.... Definitely feeling the mini matangos! The sculpt is really nice and so are the colors. I know the spots... must fight temptation!!!!
