looks like a mixture of stuff, pollution ? junk food, TV ... ?

I kinda like this, and man I wish that store was right down the street from me.

I love this thing. Gotta get one. I like garbage pile monsters more than straight up pollution. Smogun, this dude and even Bullmakrs Galvan (I think he's made up of junk, looks it. I don't own cause I'm afraid to get into vintage) are all awesome. Big hunky messy garbage guys.

kanji?

Maybe its the paint? not sure but the TV, USB plug (hehe) and the tower is too obvious. Not that into it....

I think I prefer the Alien Inbas more than this new guy. It has a tail of an airplane on it's back, cars, all sorts of debris and it's head is made up mish mash of rubbish. The eyes are like street lights. Love it.

not feeling this one. that alien inbas sounds cool though.

Alien Inbas is kidclam's avatar. Yeah, it's a neat sculpt.

I like Dempagon much more than the other Longnecks, although I guess others would disagree. I would love to have one of these hovering around my computer, wreaking havoc.

it's an interesting sculpt, but why is there such a big gap in the top half from the bottom half? does't seem very well constructed......i think the stranger the monster the better though.....i will have to wait to see how hard they are to get and what they run....

pass

ohhh me likeee!

I like and don't like it in a way that tells me "this thing would grow on you if you had it." I guess that means I like it. It's certainly eye-catching if a big ole mess.

I like it.
Kougai Kaiju meets Videodrome.

The one pictured is a painted wax proto for preview display only I'm sure

(You can see dust and stuff stuck to it because it's surface is tacky)

They aren't out until February so I'm guessing they haven't even been cast yet.

I like it to. Bizarre and not cute like a bunny thing!

IKe

I'm not anti "individual" looking sculpts but i reckon this one's just too fugly. A different paint job might bring me round...maybe

The melting Tokyo Tower sold it for me. Just crazy yet captures something old school in it's crudness.

That's funny, I thought of Videodrome first myself.
The fugly nature of it is part of it's charm to me.

I just noticed, the TV head is upside down.

I thought the four spikes were antanae, but they are the TV's legs.

This is a fine play on Japan's electronic culture.

You really need to go to Japan to see it in action, especially Akihabara.

It's crazy!

And what is that in it's ass? Is that a dog, or a fox?

And I think I see Tsutenkaku tower, under the Tokyo tower!

Insane!

Waoo !! PK got a very good insight. Great Observation !!

Sometimes i think I'm totally sold on the cultural references.



The Japanese rock it to the limit.

I think it's the most important aspect of these toys.

sort of reminds me of Tetsuo The Iron Man...

not so into the trash figs though... no care for the smoguns and such... next...

I posted this in another thread, but I'm thinking the arms and the name came from this guy, apparently his name is something like "dampukong" (ダンプコング). Anyone have more info? I found the pics on this blog: http://pink.ap.teacup.com/kadomiumtank/15.html

LOVE THIS!
