what a tasty clutch of buta. in all honesty i was a way late bloomer with this rootsy style of kaiju that i now have such a bad fever for. at first exposure i saw the sculpts as "unrealized" and the paint schemes and application as "sloppy". what a complete idiot. i wasnt worthy enough at the time to understand the sculpts were brilliant and imaginative and the paint schemes and application evokative and classic. kaiju collecting - always dolling out some painful lessons.

Hey Choon, I nearly passed out when I scrolled down and saw the Mefilas. He rules!!!!!! Fantastic score, He's definitely one of my holy grails.

Thanks Jeff!

The older Butas are so hard to come by. I'm really lucky to score on this guy. Good luck on your hunt.

So damn right.

i have a feeling some of the older ones maybe revisited slowly in time to come.
if u have the patience to wait long enough

Yeah we already know about certain reissues so no need to be so cryptic.

I'm bummed about not scoring some of the previous releases, but there are so many characters already out there, new colorways of them yet to be released, and new characters to hit the scene, I feel pretty cool just waiting for what's around the corner and picking up what I can. I'm not going broke trying to collect these; I'm just going to have fun when I can.

So happy to have a camera for pics again. Fun this morning:

very nice pics, too..!

is the flesh version of the dinosaur guy (can't remember his name) the 2nd release?

Nice pixx Lixx! What camera are you using?

I think it's Gomera Beautiful paint on the flesh vinyl.

It is the 2nd release: 1st was red vinyl.

Panasonic Lumix DMC FH22. Love it. I used my g/f's Nikon d90 for a bit but wanted a point and shoot because it was too bulky. This filled all my needs: wide angle, 8x zoom, 14 mega pixel, rechargable battery, great macro.

Nice. Yeah, that macro looks great.

Chris, nice shots! Panasonic makes the best point and shoot, in my books at least. errrr...where's the flying big cat?

Prometheum5- its Gomora not Gomera. Tsk,tsk,tsk you're not nerd enough.

Choon flyin' lion makes an appearence this week with another surprise buta ( nothing rare but a first of a character for me)

^ That's a relief. For moment, I thought...
Anyway, Griffin and Matango is sold out AGAIN!
Hopefully what it means for those that haven't got it, is it'll appear on the open market albeit at an affordable price? and hopefully new release on different base vinyl?!

it could be just the light but that looks like blue metallic on the wings, feet and tail not green like the first release?

it's the lighting. the wings, feet and tail are green.

I've been meaning to do this little photoshoot for quite some time and finally got around to it, i just love the way these two look together

^^very nice, especially the last one haha.
