Post Drazoran - Photo review
I was not able to get one of the first paint run of this colossal monster, but fortunately I still got my hands on a handpainted version by Goto-San from the last SuperFestival. And I must say I love the paint scheme even more than the first version.

This is the brown & yellow spray on blue vinyl version.

I am generaly not fond of dinosaur type monsters, simply because Godzilla is the king of them all, but Drazoran combines the respect for genuine Kaiju, a master-level sculpt & this paint job you marvel at on vintage pieces...

I like the handpainted (not airbrushed) eye & teeth. Some say the eye-painting can change a whole figure, and this one is a proof to the theory.

For size comparison, here he is with Eyezon (handpainted by Mark Nagata)

Great photo set... I just got my clear glittery Max Toy Co Club Drazoran in the mail today, and it is a phenomenal sculpt... nice and big with some serious attitude.

I like the natural look of your photographs. I picked this one up as well- great homage colorway.

havingmysay :
This is exactly what I meant. Drazoran is the kind of toy that divides Godzilla fans. Some don't see the interest in a monster that looks a lot like G, but at the same time Kaiju history has spawned a lot of Dinosaur like monsters.
Some are either a homage, a reinterpretation or a fresh idea. I think Drazoran has the 3 of those qualities.

Prometheum5 :
I've got the clear with glitter too and I am not generaly too fond of unpainted toys. But it makes you focus more on the sculpt, and this toy has something to show on this matter !

Thanks to all of you for the nice comments on the photos.
I tried to shoot in a very neutral way in other to show the toy as if you had it in hand.
And I finaly managed to get good pics from my Eyezon too. :D

Plain and simple, that's the BEST Drazoran colorway I've seen yet. Damn shame I only collect glowies! :P

Also, that Eyezon is smokin'...not bad...for a PK ripoff! :wink:
