I'm excited that they are shipping the second series of mini zombies in October. This time I ordered more.

Ted Koppel, thanks for sharing your story. Still working on trying to get my first Zollmen Galtan. These new ones look good, but maybe a little too happy? I like the older ones with their more sinister smile. But here's hoping this is the beginning of a whole new series of Galtans.

Thanks for sharing your story TK ... and your collection - seeing them all lined up is awesome!

Size comparison.


All 3 of them have this blue cardboard glued to the bottom. If you peel it off it's just a empty hole to show it's hollow.

I got mine this morning! Been silently staring at them all day savoring a moment to open them. This has been a dream of mine for years and as I will never own originals- I'd like to thank whoever the silent Zollmen partner is for suggesting these. It's surreal....even the original packaging was included, which you know I'm going to display no matter what!

I think the blue cardboard is intended to reproduce the look of the metal plate in the base of the original figures. Nice touch, and Zollmen/Medicom did a fantastic job with these.

How did I forget about these?! : P

Chris, the packaging looks amazing!
Without a doubt worthy of displaying.

Awesome release, definitely one of my favorite of the year. Can't wait to receive mine, these packaging shots have made me even more excited as I wasn't expecting Zollmen to go all the way and reproduce the original artwork.

I havent received any shipping notification for my set yet. Did they just turn up or ?

^ I was going to ask the same thing. I can't wait to get these, hopefully they just show up at my door, or work. The packaging is amazing, I'm sure it is even better in person.

No shipping notification...

Finally opened them and could not resist this quick shot:


Zollmen x Medicom Yonezawa Nodder Reissue Set (with minis for comparison) by Beautification Syndrome, on Flickr

No shipping notification was sent out by Medicom for me either. They looked awesome the way they are packed. But who could resist opening them? Great photo Chris.

Thanks Linda & Anthony, yeah these new reissues have upped the creep factor in the eyes by 10 fold. I love how even the boxes are numbered according to monster. So Medicom calls them Fuu (wood head), Gargon (lizard) and Cobblar (wart head) but when Zollmen first did the Monster Parade versions I thought they were called Gikkola (wood head), Booba (lizard), and Marigon (wart head). Anyone know the real names? I'm betting on Daniel.

Amazing Chris! I've never been able to score a set of the Mini's. Time to try harder to track some down to go with the big guys I think.

I doubt they'd all be called "Daniel," Chris. That would be weird.

Also, I wish I had ordered a set. Frown.

Daniel as in akum6n

I was kidding.

Well duh, the other two are Bob and Frederick.

The names match the original figures. The numbering should correspond to Yonezawa's original item nos. as well, although I haven't checked. As far as straight repros go, these are really close (minus all the metal guts and stuff).

Can I start the debate for Zollmen to produce micro Monster Parade versions of these now i.e. like the Mad Barons and Zombies ? I'd love to park another 'sized down' row in front of them!

why smaller? why not bigger

Price and space

I always wondered what a standard ot midsize set would look like

Oh man these guys are so much fun to photograph!:
