Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyranno-ju

Stop that now. I've no more hope to abandon.

Never give up hope, I won one of the HS lotteries a couple weeks after everyone else because of what I assume was a non-payment.

Bah! All I see is words. Show me the pics, James!!

Maybe there is still a chance ?
HS sometimes sends emails out in batches , so maybe he sent out 25 & will finish up tonight / Thursday with the remaining 25.. & there's always the chance someone won't pay in time ...

He does do them in batches - I think one day for Japanese orders and one day for overseas. It's already the third day since emails started going out today, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I think one of the more blatant inspirational sources for Brutal A is the Black Ace model Kit by Original.

I don't see a resemblance.

Me neither. Those little antennae on the side are....oh wait...NOOOOW I see the resemblance.

Can anyone help out with a better translation of the most recent post? Google translate is NOT cutting it this time...

My Japanese isn't the best, but I think I got the gist of it...

Got me! good one

I am really looking forward to seeing what (if any) the omakes are going to be for this release, and what variations there are. I am sure someone's posted them somewhere, out in that world of hosery, but anyways, I always enjoy seeing the photos from folks here.

Doesnt seem to be one in the photo of the bagged item he posted online. I do however see a vintage style belt/belly sticker with kanji included

Yes, that is what I was thinking too - and you are definitely right about the belt - but I thought that there may have been one release in the past where it was not shown (possibly to keep the surprise, as well as to maintain the 'mystery' of which omake ends up where). I am probably wrong though. So I just thought, while unlikely, there might be the chance he 'hid' it behind the main figure intentionally in the photo to do the same. Just optimistic thinking.

Anything is possible that would be nice and tricky of him

Quite a few pictures on Instagram and it looks like it's just 2 stickers that are included.

That actually took a bit longer than I expected. But wow, talk about reaching the limits in a hurry.

No biggie. I was talking about one of the latest Brutal-A robots passing through Mandarake. Completely unsurprising, but it still makes me cringe a bit for this hobby every time.

Mandarake, the flippers almanac.

Mandarake, the flippers confessional.

Bring us ye kaiju sins and be cleansed with yen..

My pride and joy. Whole collection just squeezing into the top shelf.

^ Well done, man! So fun as a gang. Extra points for using the patience method.

Thanks David, I'm not sure how but I somehow average one win a year. The only thing I can think of is maybe because I'm the only collector down here I get a better chance at them. Very lucky either way.

I cant find the exact source but this one is from danefield.com

Just noticed that the belly stickers have different colored fonts. A fun point of variance.
