 Re: Marusan M-Pop Rainbow Series Database + Poll
I already got my Hedorah this week and it has been blocked in the customs for more than a week !
But believe me, they're worth the wait.
I did not know they came in a big cardboard box with a color page. Each are individually bagged with header inside.

 Re: Marusan M-Pop Rainbow Series Database + Poll
Huh. I don't think I've ever seen that sculpt of Zetton before. Is it vintage?
But I agree: not feeling the spray.

 Re: Marusan M-Pop Rainbow Series Database + Poll
Those are awesome. These sets are scaring me...I love the idea so much I might pick up characters I normally wouldn't. And I know my graphic designer wife would love them because they look like Pantone sequences.

 Re: Marusan M-Pop Rainbow Series Database + Poll
ugh....we'll be getting our sets in soon and it's driving me nuts. I got a set for myself and one for the shop. If they're as good as the Garamon then I'll have to clear off a special place on the shelves for 'em

 Re: Marusan M-Pop Rainbow Series Database + Poll
hey all, for those who picked up a set or even single figures, did any of you notice rough spots on the figures? i have a hedorah set and just noticed that the coat seems uneven in areas.

Yup I have the same thing going on with my Red Hedo. Hedos got a skin condition...lol. What could cause that? Uneven application of something in the factory?

 Re: Marusan M-Pop Rainbow Series Database + Poll
I just checked my MG set...and I *think* I'm seeing what you guys are talking about...but I dunno. I mean, they look like most unpainted vinyls I've handled: there are some matte spots and some glossy ones. But you have to look REAL close and under ideal lighting to make them out.
I didn't think these figures (or other such unpainted vinyls) were clear-coated at all. Doesn't it seem kinda bizarre to clear-coat a toy to protect a nonexistent paintjob??
I've always just assumed that the surface finish was a function of the actual vinyl production: something in the formula of the fluid vinyl, the time and temperature it's "baked" at, the age/condition of the mold, how quickly it was pulled from the mold...whatever. Since these guys are kinda made in bulk, I just figured they were processed a little quicker than they shoulda been (like, I found some excess scrap vinyl sticking outta the belly joint on one MG that I had to hack off with a knife)...

 Re: Marusan M-Pop Rainbow Series Database + Poll
thanks guys for chiming in. i also talked about this with another board member who has a set of hedorahs and we both have the same issue as well. turns out it was a production issue and it's just the way they are unfortunately.
regarding the "coat", you guys sort of know what i mean right? even the blanks we have, have a bit of a sheen/clear coat feel or look to them. they're never just a rough matte right?
