^ i wasn't a big fan of this new sculpt, but seeing this version makes me appreciate it more. nice one!

a couple newer garumegas...


and some of the horde...

Thanks, jcat.

I bought the unpainted initially because it was Alien Subaru, I have a weakness for aliens.
But after getting it on-hand I was sold. To start with, this guy is just over 10". The sculpt is pretty subtle but the head sculpt is very well done. Of course, with SK paint skill all these painted versions are awesome!

Johnny- your Garumega horde is fantastic. I am in love with the one on the far right of the group pic.
Dark purple looks pretty sweet too, but then, what Garumega isn't awesome?

Finally got around to writing up my recent visit:

Yes! Thanks for the write up and the pics. Wish I could visit.

New monsters look very promising. Really interested in the two characters in the background of the Goamels pic. Buggy eyes and armored dude.

thanks ryan. if you couldn't already tell, the garumega is my favorite sk sculpt.
and always good to see what the sk workshop is doing...thanks for posting andy!

Great story! And above all nice to see those pics of 'in the making' stuff. I'm gonnna love the anime stuff and a couple of the new kaiju look really nice. Thanks for sharing.

That IS a great coverage, Andy!
Thanks to you guys, we got a glimpse of what it's really like to be where the action is.

Great story. I'll do my best to visit them next summer!

Here's a group shot of SK Zagoras.

Wow Choon that's a dreamy shot of a a very under rated sculpt. I still hope to one day find that black/magenta Kobe version on the right side there.

Holy crap, those are gorgeous. The colors he uses are intense.

I honestly prefer the head sculpt on the 4-armed Zag...though I'm not a big fan of the 4 arms! Hmmm...I wonder if anyone's ever tried a head-swap...

Anyway, who do I have to boff around here to get a GID Shikaruna Zag!?

Thanks fellas!
Chris- I like it that way rich pickings, well almost.
Sanjeev- Yeah, no one colors like SK. Is there a Gid SK Zag? I only remember Dagigon.

Nah, I'm pretty DAMN sure there isn't. I just want SK to make one!

To my knowledge, there's only the Dagigon and one of the earliest releases of the Genju-Gaezal.

as for GID there are also the Mighty's, Dorol and Madalla.

You hear SK? Give the man his gid. I'll take one too. Yeah, why isn't there an SK gid Zag?

Damn...must be losing my mind...totally forgot the Dorol and recent Madalla. But I didn't know of any GID Mighty...is there a pic somewhere??

There are two GID Maity's. The limited WCC pink one and the Kobe orange painted one (think Miami Dolphin colors). I suspect SK will release a GID Zag eventually. Lately they seem to be concentrating on one offs though, and a lot of them seem to have almost a matte finish.

Really nice horde there kurumonz! Because of the amt of space the Shikaruna figures take up, it's rare to see a large collection, especially of a single character. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes he could devote a room (or at least a wall!) to their figures.

Thanks Andy.
Yes, they do take up space. In fact I only gather them for this one shot.

This is the second GID mighty release from Kobe...I have yet to track down the first.

such a wonderful group of sk zags kurumonz...such eye popping colors!

i've had to locate most of my sk collection at my office due to the amount of space the pieces take up. brightens up the work day and makes for some nice discussion when clients visit.

Thanks, jcat!
Actually I decided a group shot after seeing your eye-popping pics.
That's cool that you can have them at your office but NO way I can do it. Either my clients will think I'm nuts or I'd start rambling non stop about them.

i would love to see more group pics of your intense collection!
not sure if my clients think i'm nuts or not, but i certainly see a lot of smiles when they come in. makes for a good icebreaker.
