The large Galtan is a travesty, but the mini is perfect. Though if there was a credible up-sizing of the mini to standard size then that might be the best toy every - because generally I dislike minis and love standard.

 Re: A boatload of Galtans...
So the minis are the pendant ones? Or that same size? Or the pendants are actually smaller than mini??

 Re: A boatload of Galtans...
I don't have any of the pendants, but I believe they're the same as the mini - they just have a hoop molded to the top of the head.

 Re: A boatload of Galtans...
I was wondering about that, the pendants look smaller than the mini (why is it a "mini" and not a "pocket" ?). I saw one for sale for like 15 bucks which would be a steal of a deal if they were the same as minis...(which go for around 50-60 bucks if i'm not mistaken).

 Re: A boatload of Galtans...
Pendants are slightly smaller than the mini's.
Mini's go for $30 - $60+ depending on which one. RSFO and blank GID are at the higher end of the price scale.

I think the standard size zollmen galtan actually looks more like the original patchi card art but I don't like stance and dimensions of it. The mini exohead galtans are really well balanced...I hope they'll make more of them.

 Re: A boatload of Galtans...for "Kaiju for Japan" benefit
Glad you like it Axolotl, i put a bit more effort than usual on this one. I would have done a woodblock print but i was a little short on time and a little broke (new house, new baby) to buy materials.

 Re: A boatload of Galtans...for "Kaiju for Japan" benefit
^^ Ha Ha , thats absolutely rad-a-licious  It could totally work as an an actual benefit release no ? "Galtan and rescue boat" would look nice bagged w/header or even better in a red mesh-bag (like the toysets we'd get at the beach when i was a kid).
