Up to now, they've made mostly pvc figs of girls from various manga.
This will be their maiden voyage in the realm of kaiju production.
They're marketing it as a release to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Ultraman, and it's due to hit in late November.
The price?
Here is where you frown.
Or maybe not- let me ask you...are you feeling hardcore?
Hardcore into Garamon?
Well....are you.....punk?
It's gonna hit retail in the neighborhood of 90,000Y.
Yes.
It's sad.
For my wallet.
Now you know everything I know about this release.
Here's a pic of the in-prog sculpt, and their ad....
Oh yeah...interchangeable chest symbols, as well.... that must be why it's $900!

Great pics, dd...
....but for those that might not know, we have to distinguish, here- these pics show the second appearance of Pigmon in an episode of the Ultraman series- Garamon- a five-story, organically-remote-controlled, Japan-thrashing beast, actually only appeared in Ultra Q, the Tsuburaya production that preceded Ultraman and was sorta the X-Files of its day in Japan.
They refurbished the aging, damaged suit (as they often did w/ their kaiju suits- Eiji and co. were masterfully artistic recyclers)- actually changing the detailing and coloration quite a bit- to make Pigmon.
So really, Eye Scream's sculpt here is truly a sculpt of Garamon, tho it's being marketed as an Ultraman commemorative piece....
...confused yet?
Fantastic photo diary of the making of the original suit for Ultra Q here:

Wow! That's an amazing figure.
Although they cannot compare in size, not swappable parts, the X-Plus version does look very similar. I have both a red and grey and love them - plus they only cost me 4000 Yen!

It's true, I totally dig Garamon.
He was the one what got me hooked, my first kaiju love- at first sight.
Every time I see him, I wanna give him a hug....
and take him out fer meatball subs....
then watch him spin around, wavin' those stubby little mitts, cuttin' a rug....
while gobbling drugs....
and reading Juggs....
Okay.....it's late..............

My girlfriends old company Vice did the prototype for this. I cant believe I am not getting it, I just dont have almost a grand to drop right now. Funnier part is when I told my girlfiend I wasn't getting it she was more surprised than me!
