Annals of Amapro
I didn't see a thread dedicated specifically to Amapro, a great line of vinyl [worthy of recognition], so if I am doubling up I apologise. Otherwise, let's see those great shots of your Amapro figures/collection!! I'll start things off with this Mechagonira: Unfortunately I don't have one, and don't know much about it, other than everything about it appeals to me. Part horned ape, part robot, all disco; how can you go wrong? From the poor translation, it could be a Pachi card inspired figure. I know Chris from GT received another version of one a while back (see http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=29268&p=414468&hilit=+amapro#p414468) I've got it on my want list, just in case it's out there somewhere. And now on to all the rest......

Re: Annals of Amapro
I'm really happy to have seen several new things he has sculpted. I totally love all these guys: and the new parts for the old Roco sculpt are really fun! there are 3 or 4 more new ones as well.

Re: Annals of Amapro
This is such a trip. Love the facial expression on strawberry head. Also, annals. KC might need a name change to Kaiju Annals.

Re: Annals of Amapro
Great write-up Myles. Loads I obviously didn't know about this guy. I am so jealous of Jeremy's triple threat of Mechagoniras. I definitely agree with more GT collabs. So far I want everything I have seen

Re: Annals of Amapro
These are my favorite Amapro sculpts the up until now ungettable penagallans I got these 3 Also picked up the Grody Shogun version from LULU yesterday... I think I have the biggest Penagallan collection in the states (but Id be happy to be proven wrong) PS the heads are by Marmit (extra nerd points for knowing that!)

I can't seem to find the name of Gamera-with-a-Barugon-head. Anybody know? I am mighty attracted to him.

Re: Annals of Amapro
Here's Bananga. Weird looking squid head guy. Then again, all Amapro's creation are weird! Love it! He's 7.5" much taller than expected.

Re: Annals of Amapro
blakewest, do you happen to know if Kingrampus (or any of these other critters!) are from a particular show? I have the leg-less glow version of him and I've always wondered where he was from.
