Post Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
The pictures on the Marmit do not appear to include every release. I may just not be navigating properly. Like I don't see the robot detective guys or the Godzilla monsters.

That Hyper Hobby Dash 6 does seem to have the whole range of figures, but the web pictures are a bit bigger.

I also got sick of the layout on the Marmit website, so I put together all the pix from the site on one web page. http://tweaksthelimbs.org/parababies-en.html

Wow! Thanks for doing this. There are a couple in there that I have never seen.


Missing these two:

Steve, that Gojulas is DOPE! I'd kill for a vinyl of him, just like the Machine Saurer...I know if I get the actual Zoid, I'd likely break him...and that's IF I found time to put the sumbitch together! :P

Gojulas was one of the coolest birthday gifts I ever got. I left it in the box, all minty fresh for maybe two weeks before breaking it open and piecing him together. He still sits in a case at my moms house :lol: the girlfriend has voiced that he is not allowed to come home.

So I've started picking up Parababies as well. It seems like Marmit has basically discontinued the line. Is that true?

I don't know that it's true. For example they released the MechaGodzilla (fake Godzilla version) w/Gorilla alien years ago. Last year (or was it this year?) they released a new version of that MechaGodzilla sculpt, but all by himself, and I think they may have just dubbed it Vinyl Paradise? Does anyone know if this is the case?

I got my Bobi today and it is as great as expected ! It has an awesome vintage feeling.
The metallic green paint on dark blue-green vinyl makes a great rendering.

I did not think much of this version when I first saw that bagged shot, now I'm thinking It's definitely better than the first release. I should have pulled the trigger when i had the chance. Congrats!

That brown Bobi is actually the second version. The first was blue vinyl with gray sprays if I remember correctly. I didn't save pics.

I did a little digging. Seems like this might be the first one. A fine looking beast.

So there are 3 versions out there ? Do you know when/where the previous 2 were released ?

The first version was an event exclusive, Superfest late last year perhaps? I passed and am regretting it since it is my favorite of the 3. The brown version was a February pre-order, due out in May, probably see a few of these pop up soon.

Marmit just listed the June pre-orders:

The 1st version is the best of the lot. I couldn't wing it at that time. They were going for much higher than the recent ones, probably since it was the first new sculpt of a Spectreman kaiju after a long time.

Marmit-wise. Bear Model continued to release new standard size regularly those last years.

Not because I own it, but I like the 3rd version better. Gold claws, silver teeth, red ears make nice variations in color.

Hope you'll find one soon Kurumonz ;)

I love that black and green one. So much that it's the only thing I've bought off of YJA. But I never received it and a certain bidding service was less than helpful. :( They did a mid-size one (different sculpt) with the same kind of color scheme and I'm still kicking myself for not picking it up at G-Fest last year.

Holy shit you're right - the Para Baby Godzilla 64 DID come in a matching black/glitter color version. Great, another thing to add to my list :(

BADO is Bad-ass!

That figure has all the things I love about parababies: metallic sprays, restrained use of texture, and a nice balance of paint vs bare vinyl. Great score.

It's apparently hard to make an U-Tom that doesn't kick ass.
