I thought these were made at the same factory as most of the other "eastern" companies?

I don't really like the marketing behind this line of toys. I guess i understand it but meh.

I like some of the artists and some of the toys..but...a hammerhead shark?

Hammerhead sharks are awesome. However, Joe Ledbetter is NOT awesome. And KFGU is absolutely stupid - all of them, Biskup included. Leave hammerheads outta this, it's not their fault some lame illustrator came along and made a character and a toy based on them.

I love milky usagi-gon. Biskup's & Horvath's are nice but not up my alley.

I'd rather see more from the "super market series".

I have a lot of jled stuff and I haven't bought any of these either...just doesn't do it for me.

i like jled's stuff but this was a swing and a miss to me. i also must say that the kfgu line has gotten really stale. just a money making machine with little heart...

i have to agree and i actually liked some of the early stuff a lot.....i have 3 usagis and all the horvath flatwoods and mothmen and that is all now. and yeah, the mothies and flatties don't fit at all in my collection, they stand out like a sore thumb but i still like them a whole bunch. i think what really made me love them was this pic i took one afternoon in my office:

This sums up my feelings exactly.

Awesome pic! They're cute but don't fit my collection either.
... like that hammerhead thing.

The hammerhead is bleh

But that clear Flatwoods is sweet! Never seen im before.

I'm not a fan of Horvath's stuff, but I can see how people who are would like those Flatwoods Monsters. Still, they're not kaiju...

Was anyone else surprised by how small the Tankikazoo was? Call me simplistic, but if I'm laying down 70 clams for a figure I want it to be a little more commanding.

Plus the fact that just about all of the Kaiju for Grown-Ups look more infantile than the stuff actually made for kids...

another colorway. bring on the hate!

at least it's a nice color. i still won't buy it though...

this dog toy makes me want to stick my finger in my eye.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING OF!!!!
It looks like one of those plastic dog chew toys. Maybe I could get one and let my dogs go to town on it.

Ahhh... Who am I kidding, my dogs wouldn't even crap on this.

That thing looks dumb. period.

Looks horrid...

Hating away- If I ate a munny and a street shark, I imagine this is what would end up dropping in the toilet.

You guys are brutal

I like Joe's work, for the most part, but marketing any of these toys under a "Kaiju For Grown-Ups" moniker is kinda silly...shouldn't grown-ups get SERIOUS monsters? I feel that a really brutal looking monster would be more acceptable as "Adult Kaiju". No offense to any of the artists involved, but any of them could clearly have marketed these toys under their own name and sold through the run just as easily as marketing them as kaiju---this is pure marketing, and that is the real monster here.

In the spirit of full disclosure, that marketing monster has bitten me a time or two, but I heal quickly!

As much as I might admire him for creating his own niche market (yeah, I said it!) this I can only describe as craptacular.

I guess it makes me a Sucker MC, but I really like it. It looks like a kaiju cartoon parody.

It looks like Power Puff Girls. Seriously, Joe should go to work for Nick Toons - in that context his work would be great, in the gallery context I find it very boring.

HAH! Oh my god - that nails it completely. The pink does look like an angry Power Puff girl -- squint you'll see it.
