Thanks, duuds!

jojo- the translucent green Semi-Ningen came w/ one of the red event-exclusive Garamons by Tsubraya (now Yamanaya).

Heh...Spence, I live in a cabin...sometimes, in the winter, all of Vermont feels like a cave, tho....dark and freezing!

All but about ten or a dozen of the Gara-pieces I own are in these pictures, to one extent or another. Four of the absentees are off being customized, and one other (particularly exciting) piece is being built and painted right now and will arrive in February. I'll update this thread with some pics of the MIA Garys in mid-Feb or so....

Conditions were perfect to snap a couple pics of this guy outside today:

Are there any figures that have as much character as good old Garamon? Regardless of sculpt he always holds strong - sometimes ominous, sometimes grumpy, sometimes cute...

tlk, if you mean this guy:

...that's the Kaiyodo vinyl model kit from the mid-90's.
It was the second Garamon purchase I made; built up by me and my sister (her help was invaluable- each one of the spines had to be individually cut, trimmed and placed....maaaaaaddening...) and painted by me. Terrific kit...still pops up on YJA frequently at very decent prices.

pdp- what an interesting comparison to make!
I've loved Cindy Sherman for years (first discovered her thru People magazine, of all places, when I was a kid)- her work is completely awesome. And yeah, tho it seems odd, I really can see what you're sayin' in regard to these pics!

z- that's the "Big Garamon" statue by X-Plus.
Huge, fantastic piece that I chased for 4 years, before scoring in October of '04!

Again, thanks all!
Glad you guys are enjoying these snaps; I really had fun taking them.
As for the atmosphere, it was pretty easy to achieve- all of these shots, save for the Yamanaya Gara's, were taken right thru the glass of my Detolf, using an LED button light.
