 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters of greatness
Slack wrote: I searched for pics and didn't find any even on the SHB site. The pictures were from a official SHB YJA. SHB kept one of each figure for auction after that Dept H event. Slack wrote: So were any more figures made in gold besides those 4 big guys, or any others in red besides the 5 shown? There are 5 different heads for each of the 2 different bodies (Kong species and Mutant Space Alien species) used. The only 1 not pictured in the gold is the character Jungle King. But I don't think SHB is going to release that 1 for Design Festa. So only what is in the pictures for now.

That Dept H Robo Kong sold on YJ for just over 35000. It may be my favorite version.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters of greatness
Is there a "B" movie with Astro Kong?

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters of greatness
I dunno but I like the idea that the only thing making him "astro" is a horn. Like that'd protect him in space somehow?

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters of greatness
prices fell on Mandarake (25000-30000y), even if it's still a bit expensive
Gogogogogogo !!!!

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters of greatness
Looks cool, and very Xenomorph-esque, but more along the lines of his other stuff, and not so much the B-monsters feel.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters of greatness
It kind of reminds me of one of the guys from Hellraiser.

Reminds me of the Buster Vanks Dai stuff Marmit was doing years ago. http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28917

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters of greatness
I definitely agree that this is more in the direction of his recent Marmit output and not in line with the B-movie sculpts or Kongs.
I personally don't care for it. While the sculpting is insanely good, there's too many skulls out there already and I'm just not 'feeling it.' My bank account sighs in relief.

We must be on the same page vision wise, because I was thinking of sculpting the chatterer as a head soon .

I get the historical references, and they're a nice touch, but there's something off about the sculpt. That and the meh colors in combination with the high price just makes me say no thank you.
