Post subject:  Coca Cola X Gargamel Buzzran!
Check out this Coca Cola and Gargamel collaboration promotion figure. Buzzran (Buzz + Zagoran) was made to promote Coca Cola's new energy drink called Buzz. Do you guys have Buzz in the states?

Buzzran is glow vinyl, with black paint, and the Buzz mark on his chest. The paint scheme was designed by Gargamel. The idea behind the design was to show energy (the glow silhouette) coming from Zagoran's body.

100 Buzzran figures were made, and will be given to shops that sell the new beverage. These are not available for sale, strictly promotional figures. Definitely the rarest Zagoran figure yet!

I would love this if it weren't a corporate promo. Take away the logo and It's a pretty sick toy.

My thoughts exactly. This always takes something away from the toy in my opinion.

I think Buzz is what they call Blak here:

Coffee-flavored Coke with twice the caffiene. Yuck. It comes in a glass bottle, so it might be carbonated more than the regular stuff.

Is "blak" the sound you make after taking a drink?

Def sounds disgusting..In Disney Fla...Theres an air conditioned igloo w/several Coca Cola sampler fountains inside..You can have all that you want but they were things like Carrot cola and Celery pop..Most were pretty good but anyone out in 100 degree weather w/100% humudity could drink just about anything and it would taste good...The best was Watermelon Coke--Excellent but never made it to the shelves in sotres...

I think there probably would of been a copyright problem in the states calling it BUZZ. That's the Soda beverage name used on the Simpsons - has been since the beginning I beleive.

Coke Blak? It Rocks! try it in a mixed drink called the Cuba Libre - Shot of Rum, Coke Blak and a twist of Lime!! Delicious!

As far as having a corporate logo on the figure, I think this one looks pretty good. It almost fits with a typical kaiju paint scheme.
At least it's not like a big Pepsi red white and blue ball in the middle of the chest!

Not a bad idea. I've got an airbrush and some vcolor.

it looks cool. You can't tell its a corporate brand unless you knew the logo in the first place - if you know what I mean :oops:

I saw this yesterday and thought it was so weird. I wonder if SB has been aproached by corporate marketing and turned it down? that logo sucks.

If i score one I'm def gonna have it retouched..Too cool of a GID paint scheme to let it pass!!

theres been a lot of bee's with logo's on (and others [SB figs] to be fair)

corporate logos? just small stores and magazines.

yeah, I suppose the size of the company branding them effects it. But its still branding. Although the new bee's with NJPW is quite a big corporation, not as big as in its heyday, but still sells out the Egg.

I think this is tastefully done though.

I'm really liking this figure. Even like the logo. From what I can tell Buzz is know as Burn everywhere else in the world
http://www.virtualvender.coca-cola.com/ ... and_id=002
and seems to be the same as Full Throttle in the US.

Would have been funny if they had done another Coke product in Japan called Goo

If putting a Coke logo on a toy is uncool, what about drinking Coke?
