Fuck yeah, that B&G Zyurai is amaaaaaaazing! The pinstriping just keeps getting better with each new release. I wonder if I could get a full body pinstripe tattoo job so I can look like that.

Awesome, the black showed up really well, the contours are nicely highlighted. The reflections of the sky make it look oh so shiny

Thanks! I was really embarassed by all the poor indoor shots I was taking and had to take the kaiju into the sun!! Happily I've found my camera is a wizard when it comes to outdoor lighting!
Jacket pic, as requested:

Love those blue ones. I'm not SUPER big on most of the sculpts, but I really like looking at your pics. It's kinda like, now I don't need to buy them cause' your pics are so awesome.

really? it must have been painted over, or I am stupid and missed it. When were you in Portland last?

BD - Much obliged! I used to be a lot more careful with my pics, in the old days of film. Guess I got lazy using the digicam. Trying to up the ante lately with the pics. Glad you're liking them! I really enjoyed getting down there in the grass and the grime to take the shots! Not sure how they're going to react at the temple when I show up with a grip of kaiju and a camera.
My favorite Cronic figure is Zyurai Asu, but I focus on the paint apps more than the sculpts. Koiwa-san pushes himself HARD to push the envelope with every new release. In my opinion, his most recent figures (for 2007 winter WF) were not only his best releases, but one of the best batches of figures released by any independent designer over the last 1-2 years.
Rich - I appreciate the kind words! Industrial monster land feel LOL - I think you've just descrbed half of Taiwan! I think they should rename the main airport Deathra International!
Come on over, bud - I'll give you the grand tour!

Those are excellent pics, andy. The temple theme really ties into the look of the Cronics.
Thanks for sharing your collection. I think these are pieces that most of us would never see, otherwise.

Unbelievable collection and your Cronic collection is unbelievable. All of the photo themes and pictures are fantastic. The colors and blending with the environment are perfect.
When are you going to Chernobyl for the GID photoshoot?  Keep them coming and thanks for sharing.

I agree with akum6n, didn't know that the figures would look right at home with the temple surroundings. My favorite two pictures have got to be the Bakurasu standing on the incense pot and the Zyurai Asu with the dragon. Such great shots!
