Some chat about this guy over in the Store Pit so I thought I'd start a thread here.

Very cool toy - I think these are all of the releases to date. Not certain the unpainted GID was actually released though?

Love this sculpt, especially the first and second versions. Unfortunately it has eluded me so far... are these that hard to get? Or are they readily available on YJA?

Thanks for the drop of knowledge.

They seem to stick around on YJA for a little while after each release but become pretty tough to track down after the fact.

Cool!

Thanks! I've never seen this guy till now. The first two pics are really good.

Thanks for creating this post - it's interesting how a great figure like this is missed and so many different colorways are out there of it

meh'...

not feeling these fugly miniskirts for some reason...

Awesome. Both of em.

I really like the version in the second pic.
But, is the head sculpt supposed to be crooked? I would assume so, but kinda throws me a bit.

wow these thing are awesome
what company makes them

Biliken Shokai

the blue one is my favorite if I had to choose...

these are very odd to me for some reason...

I absolutely love these guys. If ANYONE has the fourth one down (with gold spray) and would consider parting with it let me know, I've been searching for it for a long time and it's the last one I need to be complete on the Sakabashira Imiri line!

The unpainted GID was never officially released to my knowledge. I think Billiken Shokai just put it up on their blog before the painted GID release.

Aside from the Pharaoses listed up there and the clear black Riruze, there was also an opaque green Riruze and a bright orange Critten Seijin released, and each one comes with a comic book and postcard showing their guts!

The unpainted GID is insane.

I have the blue one and really like in a weird way.
It's somewhere between Bemon/Longneck crudeness and the clean lines of say Secret Base.

Tim, I saw you selling one a while back and always thought you hated the sculpt, and that it was buyer remorse. Interesting. hahahha

The headdress (or whatever it is) seems to lean to the left like BurgerBuns...

Is it supposed to be a head on top of a head?

Buyers remorse on the painted GID. I just couldn't get into that one for some reason. I love the clear version as well as the depth to the paint on the metallic versions though.

The triangle thing on the front was an annoying feature to me at first, but I got over it and this figure is now one of my favorites. Thanks, Plover, for the blue GID. I still need the one in Plover's 2nd photo. It was the first release, I believe.

they are supposed to be mummy's so...I'm guessing egyptian style w/ the ceremonial stuff on

My first impression was the familiar, 'meh', but after seeing the "better" picture (posted by il_muffino) I think this could be a new mission of mine! I am always down with a creature who exposes unusually large canine teeth and/or tusks (a al RM Pharaos, KFGU Usagi, etc.), but the Egyptian monster theme is brilliant in my book!

What a bizarre sculpt, both ugly and beautiful at the same time.

Nope, according to his info card those black holes are actually his NOSTRILS. So that means he just has a really funny-shaped head.

And if anyone is having buyers remorse on the lime w/ gold spray one PM ME!!!

The guy with tentacle arms is Riruze correct? I still need one of those. Anyway, the pharos does indeed rule...stands a little wonky but kind of fits in with his look.

Nostrils? No kidding? I can't stop seeing those as eyes no matter how hard I try. It's too bad I can't read Japanese. I'd love to read the comic book, too.

Beautiful shots il_muffino! Now send me that GID. Please.
