saw these on the auction site and I wasn't sure who put them out - pretty damn cool looking and anything dealing with UltraQ is alright with me

Thanks!

Header cards look like the generic Popy/B-Club ones...but I'm not 100% sure...

Club Tokyo has them listed as B-Club repros.

thanks - they didn't have that M1 feel, but maybe they did the paint-up on it.

although it also might've been where the seller had just thrown in every company they could think of in the description so that when someone did a search their products would come up.

Oh, if a seller put "M1" and other companies in the auction title, it's spam, for sure.

But, yeah, I've never seen M1 repop those sculpts, but I have the B-Club glowie of Goro, and I've seen the others. It's interesting that B-Club decided to do b&w colorways on these. Really cool move. Very unlike a hugantic, faceless corporation!

M1GO and Gargamel did a bunch of "black and white" kaiju collaborations, these might be some of them.

Convenient header card placement there. ;p

agreed on the card placement - that would have been the first thing I'd scan / photograph!

I did a google translate on the info text:



interesting since that doesn't look much like Bear Model sculpts. "mamitto" = marmit?

Yep, "maamitto" = Marmit.

Those are the original Marusan/Bullmark sculpts. The idea is that they're painted up like kids originally saw them on TV.

Yup! These are B-Club repros. There's also a Garamon version that came with kubrick Semi-ningen.

These were a release collaboration with B-Club x Medicom at Project 1/6 a few years ago if I remember correctly.

this one...

M1 use to consult on the bclub paint jobs to keep them with a vintage style. Not sure if they still do or not. I do not think m1 painted these. They have painted some of the more limited glow yamanaya mirrorman kaiju that were recently released.

Didn't M1GO and Gargamel also collaborate on black and white reissues of Toho Bullmark vinyls? I seem to remember seeing those in Thrash Out.

Mike, I think you are right. Yuji mentioned something about this.




They did the Goji in black for the Thrash Out opening, the other M1 collab was the Gargantuas set. It would have been cool if they did more standards in the black and red colorway but I think these Medicom releases put the kaibosh on that.

If I remember my vinyl scuttle butt from days gone by, Gargamel consulted with Medicom about doing a project like this in the Thrash Out color scheme and then Medicom turned around and did this project, one of those grey area "did they steal our idea or not" situations.

wow, so many interconnections! this deserves a map showing who's worked with who

Haha, you went there didnt you.
