I was looking at a japanese sofubi blog when I came across this picture. Yes the sofubi is badass, I wish these guys were more affordable... nonetheless the pic in the book of Samurai vs. Aliens is exactly the kind of speculative science that I love. Brings me back to In Search Of... with Leonard Nimoy

looks like blobpus was "inspired" by the face.

loved that show as a kid. I always thought mr spock was actually on quest for these elusive mysteries. I think I like the painting more than the figure though.

Really cool fig, picked one up for 5,000 yen on YJA.

Put a GID one out and I'll be in line

i shared this link a while back but this gives more info on
the historical background of this item..

you can see its influence in several microman toys and a few others.

did the marmit one ever come out yet?

Yes, a month or two ago, it was released at the Super Festival this year. I could be wrong, but the one pictured is the Marmit version.

But the only Marmit Doguu I have seen so far is the first (unpainted-mud-brown-vinyl) one.

Have any more come out, or is this a pic of the next one?

That black/silver one is up on YAJ now, so it's out.

I just want the book... any ideas
