This guy. 
I believe his name is Jakou and i know he is made by Dream Rockets. How many colorways? I know there is this one and a Black one. How hard he is to get. How much he usually runs. Katakana for searching YJA for him so i can spend all my savings buying lots of them. You know the usual stuff. Thanks in advance for all you help! |

Last year, I couldn't give this figure away. I finally sold it to someone on KR for about $75. |

There's also a mini. I think it's by Marmit? |

Ok... there are only two colorways that I know of. There is the 'full color' version above, and the glittery black version that was released at a show in 2006. Yes, K-T's pricing is about what you should expect to pay for either piece. Both show up on YJA from time to time, black one less so. The Marmit versions are Vinyl Para-babies, and include a 'full color' version and an unpainted GID. I have not seen any other Marmit versions as of yet. |

the black glitter version is very nice. It has a ton of glitter that gives it a cool textured look. Saw it for the 1st time at toy karma.. now Im looking into tracking these down too. |

An interesting difference is that the Jyako has the glitter suspended in the clear vinyl, whereas the glittery black Balbagon has the glitter on the surface of the vinyl (probably with a top coating). |

I could have sworn the Jyako I saw had a layer of glitter on the surface.. but then again I had been drinking JD heavily.. |

the best thing about this figure is that if you turn the lower half around, it looks like he has balls that drag the ground!

Perhaps it is a very old tanuki.

One o my all time faves...I paid about $65 + ems shipping from KT. It took me a couple of months to luck out and find one. So far as been said there are only two colorways for Jyacoe. This is one of the bad guys from the Akakage series.. |

Robert - who did the paint job on that Doguma? (I'm assuming it's a custom, as I've never seen one like it). Very, very nice - and more than a little psychedelic. |

Thats factory paint bro...That's why I'm NUTS about these. The quality all around is top drawer. Sculpt, vinyl, paint all A+++s |

Oh, I agree. I've got 4 of the Gumos, and the original painted GID Doguma, and they're some of the best-made toys I own. Now I have to start looking for that one. Is it fairly recent? As I say, I've never seen one like it. |
