If Babelfish can be trusted with Japanese, I believe this "Bali Moth" will be released by Dream Rocket this month.
What do y'all think? I like it. Bird-based monsters are sometimes corny looking but this one looks cool to me.

The colors are fantastic. I don't collect this type of stuff, not enough $$$, but the colors on these types of Kaiju are always impressive to me. |

I like the gold and muted colours. The hands remind me of the Longneck hands and other parts remind me of Biskup. |

The name is actually "Gappo," I believe. Dream Rocket has a really excellent eye for color, and their schemes are some of the best that I've seen. |

Marmit put out a gappo a few years ago in their Para Baby line. Heres a pic of the GID that I have.

Aha! Very nice creevox. Thanks for the further info, all. I'm gonna try to catch this bird. creevox wrote: And ignore the Bali Moth translation. You will see Babel fish come up with that a lot! Hahaha, yeah, I should have known better. I was reasoning to myself "well I suppose it looks slightly like some Balinese wood sculptures..." I'll change the subject line. |

I REALLY regret selling the original I had... but this new one looks excellent. I only wish it wasn't clear vinyl. |
