Nice pictures! I didn't even think to grab my camera on the way out the door this morning. I really wish I would have had it if only to take a picture of the Mothman prototype from Marmit. It was right next to the prototype of the Guts Seijin that's supposed to be released at this month's SuperFest, so I wonder if there's any possibility it will see the light of day this month?

That new skull-headed Shikaruna giant (second row down, last pic) was definitely the star of the show, though. I can't wait to see what the production version looks like! Totally massive! I've been holding off on buying any of their stuff (even though the sculpts are killer), but that might just be the figure that breaks me.

What's the deal with the proliferation of the super poseable robot/little girl figures lately? There are a good deal of figures that, while I might not necessarily like them, I can understand why they appeal to other people. Those, on the other hand, I just don't get.

Thanks Data!

I'm liking some of the clear glitter Marusan releases a lot. That Garamon sculpt has always been one of my favorites.

GID Garamon...MUST OWN.

The Baltan should also be mine as part of the growing baltan collection.

What are the clay protos? That giant figure (in the sideways photo) is pretty killer. Thanks for the photos :D

It is a clunky-ass sculpt.
I had the first colorway that SAN put out some months back, and actually let it go because I couldn't hang with the clunk. Somehow, tho, this GID version makes the clunk not just work, but really work for me.
I'm even tempted on those metallics, too, because the colors are so very much like the colors Joe Dunaway used on my X-Plus custom- they would look great standing together!

The Dada is from Fewture's line of Ultraman figures based on the Kazuo Umezu Ultraman manga. As a big Umezu fan, I've started grabbing these, but I'm woefully behind. I didn't even pick up the Dada yesterday because I wanted to spend what cash I had on other stuff (knowing that it would be easy to pick up on the aftermarket for $5~10 over the original price).

Here's a listing of what they've put out so far: http://artstorm.co.jp/umezu_ultraman_series.htm


I'm definitely snagging the Gabadon at SuperFest this month!

I love this sculpt. I guess I was mistaken in thinking these were clear glitter though. This picture from KT led me to believe this.

Is this one filled with silver tinsel or something though? I just picked up the clear blue version of this guy on YJA recently and can't wait for him to arrive.
