I'm pretty happy about the Votoms license, too. I'm hoping that license extends to U.S sales.

Yay! More Gargamel one-offs and customs. It would be nice to see more production runs and public releases.

I would love to see a little driver figure added to go in the chest pieces. I wonder if any of the micro figures will fit.

They wholesale lucky bags, micros and some mid size figures to make them more readily available to people around the world. They also held an online lottery for customs and had shows in several other countries. There isn't much more they can do, besides hold a custom show at your house.

Yep the text of the blog post says they fit. And you can see one of the micros in this photo:

Maybe I started collecting Gargamel to late. I'm still looking for hedoran brothers and fight figures and they've moved onto making micros, customs and new scultps.

So nice!

I like too that they're not new micro sculpts specifically made to fit, meaning that not all, but some of the other micros could take him around the block once or twice.

Wowzers -- Really incredible. :shock:

Or you could, y'know, just collect the stuff you want without any sort of timeframe or deadline.

Color ways are maybe tricky. But really you can find almost ALL of Gargamel's sculpts right here in the for sale threads for really good prices. Would be an interesting research project. How many Gargamel sculpts could you get at sticker price or below right here in two weeks... or a month? 40?

The new guts are amazing. There was a pretty major earthquake early this morning in the town they live now. Heard they were ok, so with some good luck, and no scary aftershocks, we will get to do this Thrash Out show next week. Send Gargamel some major good vibes please.

Well, just when I thought this year would be my last lucky bag year since I already have one Zag, one Deathra, one Garudan, and one Mecha Zag (and I'm not counting on a Miborah ever popping up in any of my bags because I'm not THAT lucky) they just have to go ahead and make Mecha with Guts a possibility for next year.

Looks like the Hughest show is shaping up nicely once again.
The mecha guts are meticulously detailed. Amazing standards they are setting once again.
The evolution continues, hopefully the full mecha version is not far off.

gargamel never fails to bring me joy.

and I love the batteries!

Either that, or Mecha Miborah will be getting his own "guts" head next!

...no matter what happens, if I ever get my hands on one of these Mecha Zags with Guts, I am putting a mini Zag in it.
A Zag piloting a larger robot version of itself.
IT'S GENIUS.

Heard from Naoya that Gargamel gang is ok. But if the aftershocks continue there won't be a show, as there won't be flights in and out of Kumamoto. I'm don't think too many people understand that Nagoya and Kiyoka both live within minutes of the epicenter of the quakes happening in Japan right now. Send them some love.

Re: New Gargamel Figs!

unfortunate about the show but glad to hear the gargamel crew is safe
thanks for the update bwana

edit: this is straight from the blog w/google translation

Kumamoto earthquake

It is Tamaka Ikeda that are not sleeping in the big earthquake and the aftershocks from last night.
Children were laid in the car.

While I understand your concern, we are safe.
I received a message of encouragement and a number of worry from home and abroad.
Thank you!
I had a healthy!

However, such as painted custom figure is not affected,
Number, which is to show in this custom show might still get less than usual ....
But we produced one by one with all your soul ... It is frustrating.
But, because the body was safely if changing the way of thinking,
Not give up, I would like to do our best as long as time permits to recover the workplace.

Thanking you in advance!

熊本大地震

昨晩からの大地震と余震で寝れてない池田圭郁です。
子供たちは車の中で寝かせました。

ご心配をおかけしましたが、僕らは無事です。
国内外から多数の心配と励ましのメッセージを頂きました。
ありがとうございます!
元気を頂きました!

ただ、塗装したカスタムフィギュアなどが被害を受けていて、
今回のカスタムショーで見せられる数が例年より減ってしまうかも知れません…。
魂を込めて一点一点制作したのに…悔しいです。
が、考え方を変えれば身体は無事だったので、
諦めず、作業場を復旧させ時間の許す限りがんばりたいと思います。

宜しくお願いします!
