They are Latin names. Not Japanese. Ok Ok Daniel. Sorry Google translator isn't the best at converting japanese text, these were also the spellings on GT so I just copied them. Fixed. Anyhow I thought I recognized the bird from my old 'Walking with Prehistoric Beasts' BBC DVD set. I'm pretty sure the segment was called 'Terror Birds'. Apparently they were carnivorous 8 foot tall, 300 pound killers. Here's a illustration:  Screw the toy (joke) but this illo is amazing! Wheres it from and who's it by?

Yeah that's what I thought too, so I grabbed it for a avatar. Sort of like a Prehistoric Audubon lithograph right? I found it here: http://asterisk.apod.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=23086 Google 'Gastornis' and it will show up. It made me watch the BBC Walking with Prehistoric Beasts DVD again.

All those pics were just from the internet and I condensed them into one post to show all the different versions. I only own the 1st version of Uchugenjin, 3rd version version of Ceratosarus (still waiting to get this- postal strike), and just ordered the pink Diatryma. There was no set order for this last one just the pink bird.

Re: New Hukkokudo Sharing that jealousy over here.
I managed to get lucky with the recent pink, but I would kill for one of those yellow birds.

Re: New Hukkokudo They are definitely out and have been since the end of July. I could have had mine then but was waiting for another version that had not arrived yet. Since this particular place only ships at the end of each month I had to wait till the end of August.

Re: New Hukkokudo Oh how I lust for that dark blue one. This figure is easily one of the most fun out there. I carry it around the house as much as other more "hyped" figures if not more.

Re: New Hukkokudo I really like if you look at your bird's head straight on how it has a slight tilt of the head. Not sure if that's intentional but it looks cool, kind of like it's sizing up prey down below.

Re: New Hukkokudo  I can't tell if it's the lighting in the stock photos or what -- But is the only difference between the 1st and 2nd release two headed dino in the darker vinyl color? If anyone could confirm, that would be awesome. I think this is my favorite Hukkokudo toy and I'd love to pick one of these guys up.

Re: New Hukkokudo Banshee I've only ever seen two Hukkokudo releases for the Dabura. The red based vinyl (1st) and the lavender based vinyl (2nd). I'm pretty sure that just a dark pic of the red. You should get this. I own the red and it's one of my faves.

Re: New Hukkokudo They are different. The 2nd one is more of a brown vinyl.
I love this toy. I think because of it's small head I like it alongside minis. Like it's a giant giant monster if the mini is regular sized.

Re: New Hukkokudo Thanks, guys. Brown is good, but I also really like that bright red. I can't decide which I like better, but I have been hemming and hawing over that 2nd version for a while now. I can't wait to get him in.
I've told myself I will (try to) only have one version of each toy I like from now on. Completionism is what killed my love for collecting sofubi.
