Post Why I love X-Plus
So a while ago a picked up one of the UltraQ monochromatic kaiju from X-plus. Then another, and another. I think I have a pretty good collection going of the X-plus stuff and with each figure I am more impressed with the sculpts, quality of the vinyl and paint-ups. Dig some of the upcoming figs:

are they vinyl model kits that come painted but unassembled or are they figures? either way the realistic detail on them is really really nice.

They're vinyl - most of the time they are assembled but sometimes you have to do the hair dryer technique to put everything together. Pre-painted too! Hobby Link Japan is a great and reasonable source for X-plus stuff.

It just sucks that they used to retail at Toys R Us Japan for about $20 and now they are double that or more. :(

I think it's Jamyra. Size-wise they are normally 10-12" , but some of the 4-legged guys tend to go long. I have a few that are around 16" long!

X-plus did sell stuff for a while via TRU. Those versions tended to be of a lower quality and size along with being blister-packed. The newer kaiju tend to be in a nice window display box ,heavier vinyl, much better painting and tend to be more durable than the earlier versions.

True, I am just bummed they are so expensive as I was buying them regularly but when the priced jumped I had to stop. But even some of the blister pack figures were $50 retail. I need to get a couple and compare them, I never bought and opened a more expensive one.
