Sorry to pull up a dead topic, but I JUST realized that this is a Galtan custom mash-up of an Baltan body and the head is from the Tiger Mask wrestler Skull Star. I need these two and make my own. And why aren't there more Galtan sculpts?! We got so many different gorilla sculpts, why not more skulls?

Well Fourth there are 17 versions of Zollmen Galtan dating back to October 2007 when they first arrived, numerous smaller Exohead versions dating even further back. Perhaps Zollmen has just moved on from the sculpt and is concentrating on new stuff. Years back skulls seem to be the rage but it kind of played itself out.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 8/21/11
Oh yeah, I've seen all the variations of colorways from Zollmen and Exohead. I have one of each sculpt (pendant, Exohead mini and Zollmen large). I just want someone else to do another take on the character with a new sculpt. Like Marmit or something. I can keep on dreaming...

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 8/21/11
I really like this brand and have some questions for Zollmen officianados...
Does anyone know which variant the very first release of King Pepora is? I have found great interviews with many favorite toy companies but not Zollmen. Who is behind Zollmen? What is the history of this company? Any information would be much appreciated.

What is the history of this company? the first pepora was the blue version, the second was the green as for the history of zollmen, not a whole lot is known (at least i don't know) exohead sculpts pretty much all of their toys, so there is some connection there

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 8/21/11
How do we even attempt to get on these and buy direct? I keep missing things I want because of my lack of purchasing intelligence...

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 8/21/11
The Mishka blog has a Zollmen post that says they are a "Hokkaido-based" company? Can anyone add some info on who is behind Zollmen? Who are the guys in that photo?
My appreciation for this brand compels me to want to know more...

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 8/21/11
Wow those guys are a lot bigger than I was expecting. I thought they'd be 5" figures.
Pretty cool and a nice size for 4500.

That colorway makes it look like a mutated monster cucumber.

 Re: Zollmen Database- updated 8/21/11
I think the new Bobongo is the Pickle Surprise tribute colorway. I also picked a bad time to be away from the internets this weekend.
