Sweet. Thanks for taking the time to snap a shot for us. As I suspected, these toys look pretty killer, and I would love to have one, but seeing it next to a Goga tells me about all I need to know in terms of realistically getting one.

Cool, I really didn't expect to see anyone from the board get any of these guys... Were they all being released at once, or are they being gradually put out.

They have been gradually released in sets with a couple new heads being added as they go along.
1.Black
2.Blue
3.Brown?
4.Green

Sorry to quote again but nice.
Pretty cool that these are all based off old scifi.
Did the Robokong actually get released? That one rules.

Thanks guys and sorry for posting it with the goga, didn't mean to show it off or anything, just recieved both recently, still had them at the office and thought that together they would give you a good idea of the scale.
Not sure how they were released, I picked up a first run and then saw new heads pop up, new colourways after and now these latest two new heads which I'm still not 100% sold on.

It did but different colorway that imho didn't look half as good. That guy in the photo is unfortunately a sample and not the official run.

I was going to avoid.
But anything Blaisdell looking I need and sure as sheep those are the ones I got.
When i met Bob Burns, who was Paul Blaisdell's best friend he had so many killer stories.
Paul Had Bob operate the "Bulah" prop from "It conquered the world".
There's a scene where a soldier stabs Bulah with a bayonet and Bob actually took the bayonet in the helmet he was LUCKILY wearing.
There was one big dent in the helmet.
Bob also had many props, when I first saw them they were rotten and in the worst shape.But he kept them with total sentimental value.
He found someone to restore them and they did an amazing job from what was left. Unfortunately Bulah rotted in an old tool shed, and was UN-salvageable.
One of the best saves was a saucerman from "invasion of the Saucermen" and they totally took the rotten shell and built it back up foam eyeballs and all. it was beautiful.
Really the coolest thing was how Paul would make the veins out of silicon squeezed onto glass, then glue them on the mask.
The man was totally unappreciated for his time.

Not sure if it belongs here, but it looks awesome! I found this sold via mandarake but I couldn't find any info on it. Here's what I think I know. Marmit release sculpted by karz works. Name; baalzebub. Any more info would be greatly appreciated.

This is incredible. You met the It Conquered the world alien? Of course, it makes perfect sense that on an early Corman production, they wouldn't think to take the guy out of the costume before ramming a bayonet into it.

^ ^ ^ On black vinyl, nice! And these guys are pretty big, just to amend my previous post about how tall these guys are: there are two body sculpts, the Star-X one which is smaller than these guys here, if I'm not mistaken pretty much in the two headed bemon range.

This series of monster look very nice!!

These are up for preorder on grumble toy for today only. They are amazing, but way expensive and I just got the giant bootleg so I'm not able to pick any up. Hope someone here can grab some so I can live vicariously through you.

I really like these, but I am not sure how I feel about them all having the same body, especially at such a high price point. Especially all the same colour scheme
It works fine for the apes, but when you see them all together like that....I don't know. I would still love to have one, but would like to see some more variants in the paint.

thanks to everyone for the heads up
wish i had the expendable income, if i knew these would have ever been available i would of set some funds aside. I want to see pictures when these come in!!!

For those that cannot see. It's a private unlisting from the GT homepage. Only those that are on GT mailing list were sent the link for the sales.

Accidentally bought the wrong one in my excitement (haha, derp, bought Star X instead of Mutant X -- If you got that and want to trade, please do let me know).
Still, super glad to be able to score. This kind of makes up for losing out on three lotteries I really wanted lately.
