Maybe they just didn't like him, maybe they had none available and he wanted them to part with a display only Bemon, maybe he tried to trade a Labit, I don't recall. But you could see if a search drums up any info. I'm sure Honda was afraid Kozik was going to spray a big anarchy sign on the Bemon and sell it as a one off.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
If the heavy-weight displays at CKA were for sale publicly, i am pretty sure there wouldn't be any for display there by now. The should be all residing in my collection Also, if any was for sale, I am also sure it wouldn't be cheap. Mr Yoda is a super j-vinyl collector himself. I think he will welcome u more if you talk about anything instead of just hawking on his bemons & GJs. stealthtank wrote: Maxaltoman and I walked up about 30 minutes late for the first release, which was announced on the CKA website, and there were 3 of the 5 for sale that day still available. The second time I scored was the red release which was held lottery style as more than 20 people showed up for the 5 up for sale. Back to the GJs. Nice memories stealth! I think the last of the 1st release that day was bought by mr nag3? The lottery for the red was intense and i think good things usually happen when we attack CKA together. Hopefully history can repeat itself soon The first few releases of the GJs were memorable. The 2nd blue ver was a classic example. A part of the release was done at a flea market where you have to first find yoda among the crowd, get a card from him and then find his guerilla styled booth in the flea market. So you have to work hard if you want your toy. I think not too bad an idea since you tend to cherish stuff that you spent effort in getting. The green GJ is not too small a run, so i think no need to go too crazy over prices yet if you are gunning for it. The pink though is a killer.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
our visit to CKA a couple of years ago. He seemed very friendly. I didn't get the sense at all that he didn't want to sell to westerners. http://vimeo.com/1910515?pg=embed&sec=1910515IMG_0843 400x533 by toybot studios, on Flickr

There was one over the weekend on ebay but disappeared after a short while, a yellow vinyl one. The green vinyl was also on YJA a couple of weeks ago.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
Yes, I saw the green one. I actually meant more of the two last releases, considering they weren't released through the usual channel. I thought we might see them go more like the 2headB one after the other... Kirkland, those are some nice vids and that store is just crazy. He looks like a real funny guy.

There is one available now if you have eight hundred plus dollars.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
That orange looks real sweet. I'm not sure I've seen all releases so far but together with pinks looks like one of the best to me.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
The gorillas are getting more & more ridiculous to win. Anyway, here comes the enemy of the Gorilla-ju. For the record, it is 100% sure now that the maker of GJ has no relation to honda of bemon fame.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
I'm not a big fan of Gorilla-ju, but I DO like what I'm seeing of Mechagorilla-ju! I wouldn't be upset at all if one of those fell into my lap. But not worth the money that it'll take to actually score one.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
That turned out great. The colors remind of Tetsujin-28. I think I'll just print out a picture of that and pretend I own one.

Re: new gorilla ju!!!
Yikes! Surely that will be tough to score, really nice though. So that's the mystery mecha beast? I think I need to just print out the entire Gorilla Ju catalog into a wall poster and just be done with it. Way too rich for my blood even getting one of them.
