 Re: New Hukkokudo
Man that purple vinyl is so nice.
The paint on these is terrific as well.

 Re: New Hukkokudo
I found this pic online of the limited blue Jiatorima from the last batch:  Really hope at some point I can find a Jiatorima, the last Uchugenjin, and some of the other Keratosarus.

 Re: New Hukkokudo
From the translation I read, I believe that bird was available if you spent a certain amount on the releases, I believe it was 25k yen.

 Re: New Hukkokudo
Wow, Yellow & red Jia is still my fave. Just missed that one on GT  Orange Kera is a knock out too.

 Re: New Hukkokudo
Omg. Everyone stop spelling the names like that.
Jiatorima = Diatryma (aka, Gastornis)
Keratosaurus = Ceratosaurus
They are Latin names. Not Japanese.

Dr. Grant is rolling in his fictional grave (if he died, I dunno, how many Jurassic Park books are there?)

They are Latin names. Not Japanese. Ok Ok Daniel. Sorry Google translator isn't the best at converting japanese text, these were also the spellings on GT so I just copied them. Fixed. Anyhow I thought I recognized the bird from my old 'Walking with Prehistoric Beasts' BBC DVD set. I'm pretty sure the segment was called 'Terror Birds'. Apparently they were carnivorous 8 foot tall, 300 pound killers. Here's a illustration:

 Re: New Hukkokudo
It's so pissed off, but it's hot pink so (much like the pissed off hot pink wearing fat ladies of my childhood in the late 80's) I can't take it seriously. I can (unlike the same ladies) think it's pretty cool anyway.

Damn - first new pink toy I've wanted in while and sold out at Grumble Toy. Quite a nice paint job on this one.
