Introducing a new kaiju from RxM. BOP DRAGON Super7 will be getting the painted version of this and the price on this guy is going to be about $90. We will be getting these alittle later than the actual release date in Japan, so if interested please wait for further info.Let's hear some feedback on this fella. Hiro

I like it. I'm guessing he's about as big as a pharoan. The only thing I don't like...RM figures always seem to cost a lot more than most. Even the smaller figures like the baby pharoas. If I have any extra cash, I'll probably pick one up. Looks like it could be a great custom as well since it has a fair amount of texture to it. |

Figure sculpt looks good but a real poor selection for the base color for the first run. Seriously, it has some scales/some lizard like features and then go do a nuetral standard green base? That was over done in a decade ago. Even a bright lime green would have been more dynamic I think... just my 2 cents |

Anyone else notice the superficial resemblance to Dream Rocket's Girumos? Almost like a "cute" reinterpretation of that idea, or maybe it's just me, I dunno. |

it's funny that you mention that.....i initially thought this was a dream rocket release, even after coming back to this thread a few times.... |

Maybe because of the (also admittedly very superficial) resemblance to DR's Ganda Ninpou?

Hmm, good eyes. I think there is definitely more than a superficial resemblance to the two DR sculpts. The overall body does resemble Ganda, but it has Gilmos' scales and a tail-fin. Probably just a coincidence. |

Good one, xoconostle, I didn't make the connection (whether it be accidental or inspirational). I like the Ganda Ninpou. Unfortunately, this Rumble comes across as a Wonderwall release. Not saying that's a bad thing, just not my thing though I do own some Tankizaados. |

The sculpting on the scales is pretty sweet but i'm gonna go ahead and sit on the fence about this one. I do get a slight Wonderwall / KFGU feel, but I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. The Tanks and Usagi-gons were sweet from that series - it's only now that they've started to pump out some decidedly average shit.... |

I like the front but the back of the figure is a big disconnect going from the smooth rounded style up front to an almost flat and jagged feeling (from the scales) on the back. Its like its 2 different figures. RM doesnt do it for me at all tho. |

I didn't like this at first glance. At second inspection... I think it's ok but it doesn't go together with my other Rumbles. |

Just for fun.....I think this might actually be cool to have if you have the 13 robo(Scud Robo) in hand.

love this guy! Green is good too - there hasn't been much as of late that was a near-solid green casting. |

I like it. It's the first Rumble Monsters toy I've seen that appeals to me in any way. I suspect that the very reasons that I like this are the same reasons that the folks who like RM's previous releases won't like this one.  Or, perhaps not. If they make this guy in purple vinyl I might actually buy one.

Beyond. That shot puts that piece in a cool light. A futuristic slant on a retro theme. It has piqued my interest in this toy. I like the scud too It goes well with Bop Dragon. Thanks |
