Post The Only Gargamel (and trooper) that Matters.
Image

Here it is. My favorite Gargamel. Ever. There are other pieces that I would like to own one day, but this is the stuff that satisfies. If I never own another piece of Gargamel goodness...it wouldn't matter.

I'm just blown away by Kiyoka-san's talent as a sculptor. A true master. I feel that not only are these the figures I've wanted most, they're a good example of what Kiyoka can do. all different textures and sizes. totally fun. For me, this is definitive Gargamel (for the time being).

(Trooper just looks cool with all the monsters.)

Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do. Thanks to everyone who helped out!!! :) Sorry for the crappy pic.

and holy crap, the trooper! the trooper! I felt like a little kid when he hit the shelf!

That one is nice. How many full sized figures did Gargamel make with guts...zag and bako? I may need to get one.

A sentimental fave of mine too and definitely a classic...

This was my very first Zag I ever got (well, first production Zag)

Who would've guessed the obsession this guy would bring into my life!! ;-)

Love this one, it's one of the only other full size Zags I really need. Do the guts glow or are they white?

Khanate, the guts are just white. They don't glow.

Best. Zag. Ever. IMHO. :P

This one has always been a favorite. other than the Lucky bag painted (that I unfortunately do not own), I don't think any other zags have done it for me like this one. Rules.

Big thanks to the SBer that made this one possible. :)



That thing was hands-down tops! Really beautiful. Wonder why more of the zags didn't have colors this nice? Leaving room for customs?

I've been staring at it open-mouthed everyday since I got it. It's so simple, but I like it so much. I'm only making room for the lucky bag painted zag and the SDCC clear painted zag. :)

...one day soon they will be mine (hopefully).

this Zag is so amazing...and this is the first time I've seen it...or at least seen a good enough picture of it to see what's doing.

Thanks, guys. yeah the GID hedo is great. Beefier than I thought--but that's not a bad thing at all.

Btw, here's a better size comparison of the Trooper. Some folks think he's too big, others too small, some of us like him just fine. I thought this might be helpful to some.
