 Re: ID?
It's by Yonezawa. Actually has a name too- Dabura.
That's a really nice find. First time I've seen one 'in person.'

 Re: ID?
Of course, ダブラ (Dabura) is a Japanese approximation of "Doubler." Perhaps he should be dubbed, "Doublar"?

 Re: ID?
Thanks for all the great info guys! Yeah he's awesome despite his imperfections...is missing an ear/horn on one side, and he does have a little writing under his other foot. Anyway, yeah I really like these Yonesawa kaiju...Josh, I need that monkey wolf dude too! Let me know if you're bidding on one, so I don't bid you up.
