The texture on Goga's back is just fucking ridiculous. I've never owned an AA toy, and have never even thought to venture down that path, but his sculpts and paint applications are among some of the best, I'd say.


I think the Gogamejira's back is my favorite part of the sculpt, it adds so much character and provides great opportunities for sick paint applications.

That clear one w/the neon guts... I'm speechless. :shock:

but all those gogas are all from pre-list in the good old days when AA stuff were still sold in japan.
the post-japan days are equally if not more painful for many serious japanese collectors.
maybe its time AA rethink his assumption that all japanese buyers are resellers or traders :)

Jeff, these are not the toys you're looking for... Image


Personally those clear pinks w/rainbow paint apps and the clear w/multicolored guts are the real tearjerkers for me. Opaque examples with intense paintjobs are nice, but I can't escape my absolute adoration for any/all clear Gogas. I'm aware that I'm a minority, but I'd be a lot happier with an unpainted clear variety than with any painted opaque Image

What is going on? Where are all these beauties coming from? That brown and pink pair is just... I don't know, I'm completely blown away by them. Turtletooth, can I interest you in a trade for cocoa beans?

No kidding! This is the first time I've seen these older/ more rare/custom Gogas in detail and clear!
That Pink Dako is just fantastic and jaw dropping.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the kind words.

I wanted to take some pics outside today to show some of the details on a couple of my favorites.

I forgot to upload this one showing the Dako's apron side. There are a bunch more on my flickr.

I remember seeing a bunch of one offs at a WF several years ago just sitting on boxes in front of his table, when he actually used to come to events. I wanted to buy one but the event hadnt started yet and when I went back they were gone. :( I missed a Vader Dako at Pachi Summi too around the same time, I was buying for someone else and they wanted other toys and since I was on their dime I missed again. :( :( :(

Just makes me faint to see those photos Turtletooth. That Dako has to me my very favorite. Those flecks of gold on magenta and purple are just stunning! Thank you for sharing your toys.

Thank you turtletooth, for giving these guys some camera time!!! The color on your Dako is insane!! Nothing wrong with them Goga's either :wink: But my favorite is Mr Double drill Cobalt, nothing beats an octopus with drill arms for me and his size is enormous!

Sorry, but that "custom" Dako is heinous. Looks like caked on paint and resembles elephant hide...


I can see how the job is completely in opposition to the AA aesthetic, but judging from the photograph I wouldn't say the paint looks "caked on." I'll agree w/the elephant hide though, the paint gave the toy a more matte texture, which doesn't seem to be part of the aesthetic behind Anraku Ansaku's toys.

How do you feel about the palette itself?


this photo was taken before it was finished - i did apply gloss after the fact.

the color palette was an attempt to make it look like the animation(s)

The animations seem to be really crazy...are they actually shown on tv or just online?
