 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
Thanks guys, the head on the Smogun really looks like a pollution monster head. I thought the maker of these was super protective of that character and was taking offense to people even drawing/painting it? Im guessing hes involved somehow with the smogun or no?

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
V, this PK version is awesome, I agree. But do browse on the pages from this thread featuring the earlier OG painted ones, you might be overwhelmed from the different and very unique paint app patterns.

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
^ Most definitely Jay  I have checked this thread out many times, but I didn't post much.. (I'm more of an observer/lurker who is starting to post more often as I'm getting more comfortable in doing so). I really love most (if not all) of the Bemons posted in this thread. I really like your Bemon collection, especially the GID Bemon and the yellow vinyl based painted Bemon. I also really like Bloodrinker's "#13" Bemon immensly, the virus Bemons are gorgeous, then there are the lovely unpainted clear Bemons, the pearl is gorgeous, and I'm really loving the mixed parts Bemons! I guess I shouldn't have written that the buttercup Bemon was " by far" my favorite, because there are many that come into close second and third and such, but oh man oh man, that Buttercup custom Bemon is definitely my favorite  That color scheme and the way it's applied is really speaking (more like screaming) to me. Gerrr... I want that one as well as a multitude of other Bemons that I have seen in this thread! Also, here are a few of the many beautiful Bemons that are some of my faves that I didn't mention previously: Stone wrote: ..  ^This collection.. Mmmmmmm... Can't.. Stop... Drooling...  lol

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
You'ld have to get one soon, if you really want to experience in hand, the unbelievable texture of this bad boy's sculpt is really something. We haven't talked about the back story to this piece yet.
I have yet to own one that I didn't really like.
I've sold a few but, prepared to hang on to the few that I have in my collection.

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
Definitely I've been planning and hoping and saving to try and get one (if not more).. But money has been really tight lately and timing has been way off.. Every time one or more Bemons would pop up for sale, I would not have the money for it. :p Even now, one is up for sale, and I have no fundage for it... ): My best bet, and what I am planning to do, is wait for my tax return, put it into savings, and then jump at the opportunity whenever one will pop up for sale again. I do hope it will work. But I can wait. Good things are definitely worth the wait for  Now.. if you ever want to sell another one from your collection...  lol

Pardon my lack of knowledge- So Bemon isn't involved with the Target Earth Smogun? Just two different people with two different interpretations? Same head though? Or is it Bemon and some other dude that made both...? I'm confused... I really love the Target Earth Smogun dude!

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
No relation between the two different figures. The heads are also different.

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
If you use the "Search" function you'll find lots of info on where Bemon came from. I think we've posted the origins and have had discussions multiple times.

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
Just to save someone else some time, and help another brother out:
"but we do know that both Kougai Kaiju and the two headed giant aren't completely original designs: starting from the sixth shot above, the pollution monster was originaly featured as "Mosugon 2" on the header of IKB's extremely rare Smoggon figure, while the two headed monster or 'Galligantua' comes from the cover illustration on the 1968 Famous Monsters of Filmland yearbook (based on the 1962 UA feature 'Jack The Giant Killer', directed by Nathan Juran)." -http://united-bacteria.blogspot.com/2010/09/bemon.html

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
Not trying to be a dick or "Razz the n00bs" but it has been posted a lot and a little searching should wield a wealth of information. It get's a little tired answering the same question after a certain amount of times.

It get's a little tired answering the same question after a certain amount of times. Gotcha. I did some searching on the board, but there was just too much. So I Googled it up, and thanks to that blogger, found all the background info I needed to know! I think NT answered this, it just wasn't quite clear to me. But I'm good now! Still a mystery, but much more informed!

 Re: Bemons - Post Your Photos
Thanks! Was super blown away having one in-person. The paintjob on these guys are incredible. This one, in particular, has got this iridescent purple, silver, with a matte-green, all on grey vinyl. Just plain stellar.

Man, I got to take some better pics than that cellphone pic. Catch the amazing paintjob better, and the back of the beast with the brown-grey sludge dripping out.
