I am almost positive there will be any in LA. the only way would be to have a hookup for them in Japan. so far there has only been one run of 30 made so far and they were all different colors. I am sure there will be more to come in the future. I also think the guy that makes them has another figure, there is a flyer or sticker or something that comes with the Bemon that has a picture of the Bemon fighting this other figure and I have heard he is going to eventually make it. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND THEM.

There were only 30 made? I picked one up at BxH in Tokyo, and almost picked up a second... It was hard to decide between colors, but they were a little large to bring two back in my luggage..I thought there were several of each color made...
And J lead me to believe it also..hmmm ;)

The official word on the street is only 30 made, there are pictures of all 30 in the bag. All are custom painted. It sounds a little fishy to me as well, as I have 2, Isaac has 2, Frank has 3-4, so that is a bunchover here already. That said, Real Head, blobpus and rumble monsters only make runs of 2-30 pieces, and lots of them make it back over here as well, so maybe so. It is a big figure, and expensive.

a second series in three different color vinyls was released this week. Direct from HONDA of Bemon(maker of toy), vinyl colors are red, a light blue, and an olive. when you order, you pick the vinyl color and they pick the paint job. If you lived in japan price is about 75 bucks

Also this toy is called KOUGAI KAIJU, the company name is BEMON!

all very cool. I think it was 30 more, but I am not sure. I have not gotten a straight answer from anyone on release #s.

I got this one of the second run of Bemons:

and I also have a couple more on the way. I am thinking that there was only 30 more made because the poster in the bag looks the same size as the one on the first run.

The Kougai Kaiju definitely translates to essentially, "pollution monster."

It's amazing the difference colors can make. Right side, Front Row, Red Eyes!

Ramos, you're saying Pollution costs around 8000 Yen or so...?

Is this first toy for Bemon?

I am hearing from Japan that this might be the third production run of these figures.

DAMN Databub that first picture you posted is awesome!!!!!!! Those are by far the best ones I have seen. I found that picture of the one on Madarake a long time ago and emailed them about it but they don't have any.
