 Re: Gargamel Rokuron
If he is from the header cards..then that's pretty cool to finally see it produced.
Are there any other better pics of this guy Joe?

 Re: Gargamel Rokuron
hot damn, finally another header card silhouette figure mystery solved, and a mini to boot. I don't know if that sentence even makes sense, but I am stoked.

 Re: Gargamel Rokuron
This has been a long time in coming and I think it looks great. Here's an image (from the Gargamel site) of the OG version.

ive been waiting for this figure for-freaking-ever! i was very lucky to see the sculpt in-progress at gargamel, and its been really hard keeping my mouth shut about it.
