I wonder if the resemblance to this guy was intentional...
The name is pretty clever, too- apparently said as "Mememe-La," because the Xs resemble the "me" character in katakana.

Really? How so is it trying to hard, just curious what you mean not attacking your opinion.
I don't think they're trying to be edgy or sexual or anything, I mean me and my wife cracked up. I think it's just goofy and fun and stupid, but in a good way. Big dumb boobs monster, cracks me up.

because it isn't even subtle about it. it's like those lame toys you see at spencers where you wind it up and a monkey with a huge dong humps a woman or something
some dehara stuff has been mentioned here too, but to me his work seems different in a way. despite all of his violent and some sexual images, it is presented in a tongue in cheek way - parodying certain (sometimes) sterotypical japanese lifestyles

I don't feel that way. I still don't find it sexual, I don't look at it and think "sex" just kinda weird. I don't think "lol tits" or something as one might at a Spencers gifts toy.
I guess I get more of a Geiger vibe from it than a direct porno vibe. Whatever though, just curious why others felt about it what they did since I didn't get a gross-out-porno-lewd-lame-tit-joke feel from it.

I think I'm with Pickleloaf on this one. The two main sculpts I'm focusing on now are Deathquids and Menargos, so I definitely don't have any problem with kaiju that are taking some cues from anatomy, but it seems like this one isn't doing it with much style. I just can't imagine putting this up on a shelf and thinking "That looks good".
If you dig it, that's cool. I'm just not into it.

I think it's not so much jealousy as aesthetic sensibility...

Nothing matches on this figure. the 'top' doesn't seem like its belong, round and symetrical and the bottom all blobby like a bemon/hedorah fig. Maybe it the rack was all saggy and globby or one side a b-cup the other double D and warped.
It really looks like a drunken bar idea that some how found itself too to fruition.

I have one of these, and it's one of my absolute top favorites - Just looks so perfectly goofy and old-school somehow, with the beagle-ears and elbow-screws. But I know nothing about it - Sorry to sidetrack the thread, but what's the name/source for this charmer? Any other info?

the body isnt so much bloby as it is piles of naked bodies, if you look close all the lims are contorted nudes

It's Giragindo, kaiju from Spectreman. This particular version was made by Bear Model.

I know, that rules! It's like from Hellraiser, I guess the head is the worst part, but for the 100th time I still dig this thing. Enough of my positive attitude, get back to bashing

 Re: WT ?? Fetish Mode
It is what it is, I love this thing.
I dont have one yet because of the price, but I think its a perfect, akward, odd, bold (and at the same time subtle) toy. I would have a few dif' versions if I could.
