Just got my Gara-devoted Detolf put together.
Had my neighbor remove/re-weld the shelf supports at custom heights, to accomodate the big guys and leave a shelf up top for smaller pieces.
I also painted the top and bottom, the glass connectors, and the support rods with Rustoleum's "hammered metal" spraypaint (first a few layers of black, then a light, mottled misting of copper over that), and used black foam weatherstripping to close the gaps around the door-edges.

This case is now set up to be displayed sideways- the door opens out from the right side.
This allows me to display the big Garas with either one of their interchangeable arms (with the Detolf facing forward, it was only deep enough, front to back, to fit them in with the longer, bent-elbow arms, and even then they had to be slightly turned to one side).

I have a lot of other pieces to put in here, but I wanted to start out relatively uncluttered...perhaps I'll update when I've got all the other Gara's (and Semi-Ningens!) crammed in. Also, I took some full-case shots, but they came out pretty dark; I'll have to re-shoot 'em before posting.






Thanks for looking!

nice collection!

who do some of them have a symbol on the chest?

Are the really big ones the same just different colors?

They look crazy in there!

Thanks, Jeff!

In Garamon's second TV appearance (Ultra Q episode #16, "The Revenge of Garamon"), there were actually two of this beast stompin' around, and each had a symbol on his chest. I've never seen a dubbed or subtitled version of the show, so I don't know whether they actually talk of what the symbols are; I've always assumed they were supposed to be receivers of some sort, as the monsters are remote-controlled by Semi-Ningen in that episode.

The big Garys actually came with interchangeable diecut vinyl chest symbols you could apply, but I've never stuck 'em on...

You got it- same toy, different colors....

So sick !!!

The bottom big green guy is my favorite !!

...ur the freak on this board!!!
most special toys seen here for quite some time.
would love to see those in person - really nice.

Wow- now that's saying something!
Color me honored!

Let me be the first to chant more! more! more! I can't wait to see these cases at full capacity.

wow, especially the big guys

Insanely cool.

Do you have the Kaijuken 2 pc. set w/ Mini Gara?

As well as the four new Kaijuken ones? I was thinking about getting the Steel version.

that bnig brown one is REALLY cool!! i dont even know what the hell they are and theyr creepily awsome, i like the lil red one by him too

The Kaijuken version scares me.
It's like a tough, besuited 80's dance club Garamon.
I can smell the Drakkar Noir in his scales.
That one and the Ultra Q Dark Fantasy version from a couple years back just stray too far afield for me.



That's a Kaiyodo vinyl model kit, built up with the help of my sister and painted by yours truly back in 2000. Great kit...maddening to build (each of his scales is an individual piece- about 97 in all to trim and glue in place)!

Great set up!!!!

I dig the green one too. That guy is huge!

dude, you're hardcore for customizing a detolf....haaardddcore!!
