I dig the sculpt and absolutely love the black glitter! There are some comparison shots on IG and it is a beast of a figure even next to the 2HB. I know they were released on yahoo but also through Kriminal Design but are long sold out. Definetly a cool ass space monster!

Nobody posted an image of the V3 version from a while back, I think it's the best so far:

Very nice indeed. The colous and paint style really make the sculpt pop, and I like it. Could easily be a vintage toy with that look, which is my thing. I can see if it doesn't get the same attention from the usual limited run Bemon crowd, as it is a different approach to things, but I think it works. But then, I also very happily buy Marusan and B-Club figures made in the many hundreds and get great joy from them.

That was my initial guess/impression too, though I don't presume to know his inspiration. Another connection to more 'vintage' styled kaiju. More simplistic (but not simple) paint, done well. With those eyes you and the colour selection you can also see some of KR Amazon in him.

I dig this sculpt, but the color way doesn't do much for me. Hope he does more!

Appears to be based on this Pachi, I really like the color of the initial version.......

A "Dino" paint version like the card will be cool but I am sure any will be Fangtastic!

Its weird that it has no joints, maybe a plug for the underbelly?

Or maybe it is not even soft vinyl.

I love it. Very pachi feel to it.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and there will be a lot of hate, but I like this better then the two head. The two headed monster does nothing for me. This dino is great.

I'm perplexed, not sure what to make of it. As much as I love SVHC, I don't think I'll ever buy one. I wonder how big it is...

I think it's just the white spikes that I don't like. Too clean.

Rob WOW that Kougai is amazing! Is that a 1/1?

Take a pic of your brood "Mooning' us aka show the backs!

I think there is another version of the Space Kaiju after V3 prior to Glitter

Bemon lost me with this new one. I may feel differently with a different paint job though depending on the outcome.

Yes, the black glitter version is amazing in hand, beautiful vinyl. I'll post more shots later today.

Post Re: New Bemon Sculpt
I like the new figure. Classic pachi kaiju are eaxctly my thing though. Initial impressions have me thinking it is on the smaller size though, based on packaging and the background, particularly compared with the heft of Bemon's usual figures, but I could be wrong. The texture also looks like resin maybe, combined with the lack of joints. But I like it. It is like a fantastic pachi dino kaiju you might have found as a kid (or exactly how you would envision one being made from your imagination playing with those menko cards). A new direction, but one I am happy to see. If this marks a whole new series, I would be very happy.

If I remember well the rainbow kougai (that's what people used to call it here) was a run of 10. Need to take a quick shot of the back!
In the meantime here are some quick (apologies if a bit shakey and big) shots of the glitter Marilla:

I dig it. Not my favorite colorway but I like that Bemon is not afraid to do some interesting pachi characters that will doubtless not be as popular as the kougai or 2HB. I hope it is large in the hand. Also happy to see Bemon back doing rougher textures again. He is picking up the pace with new sculpt releases now.

That stage 2 Marilla (Mayogon? which name is correct?) is beautiful Rudebeast. The best release of that sculpt by far and the one to beat. The new Guilala tribute is very nice as well.

I agree with Sokko. I was not really a fan of the Space Monster until I got a chance to check it out in the hand, it is a completely different beast then. Hard to capture its allure in photos.
