Post MONSTER OF THE WEEK: Japanese creatures big & small!
Check out my blog for my new feature, MONSTER OF THE WEEK! Last week, I spotlighted Gomora from the original ULTRAMAN (1966), and this week it's Okozeruge from SUPERHUMAN BAROM-1 (1972): THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND GODZILLA!

good to see you on here, August.

I used to post on another message board a few years ago and did a "monster of the day" thing for a while, mainly with Kamen Rider villains.

August is the real deal folks. If you haven't been here years longer than me assume he knows more than you do 99% of the time. Please keep doing a "Monster of the Week" thread on Skullbrain. You even started with one of the toys I always hope to find in Tokyo but have yet to acquire.

(post of the week?)

Great stuff. It also warms my cockles knowing that Rainbow will essentially NEVER run out of characters to use for their toys!

Marmit announced a run of THUNDER MASK monster vinyls (as part of their "Vinyl Paradise" line) way back in 1998, which never materialized, due to the rights entanglements surrounding THUNDER MASK... :cry:

Interesting....must have gotten straightened out since Butnohana put out a couple of Thundermask figs....unless, of course, they were done under the radar.
