That seriously doesn't look like Ragon....I'm going back for another look! He def looks funky. I generally don't just buy "everything" I like when it comes to toys, they have to grab me...that grabs me.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Thanks everyone! I still can't believe it is real! I can only imagine how Joel and Greg felt when they were all sitting in front of them... The Terracotta Army?

I don't even think it's out of necessity, haha. The legs, tail and head (I didn't even notice that was a separate part until I was typing that last post -- actually edited 'six' to 'seven') could have easily been non-articulated. Very strange, but I guess that's fitting for a group with such character.

^^^ An interesting and oft overlooked aspect about all of those NH Ultraminis and most of their standard scale Ultrakaiju is that they are actually vinyl casts of old Marusan snap-model kits from '66. Not sure if that helps explain the seemingly indulgent number of parts involved in the minis (Garamon is a 5-parter) but it might!

Glad to see that you've lifted your ban on minis with such gusto!

^ this conversation has been enlightening and fulfilling. you guys rock.

That's very cool -- I think I had read something about that at some point, but had definitely forgotten. I did notice the SAN stamp and thought that was kind of odd, so that explains it. They've all got 'seams,' especially noticeable on Gary, on their sides where you can tell the kit pieces snapped together.

And yes, the mini ban has been mightily lifted!

To stay in theme with this thread, a quick shot...

Nice one! I was admiring that Boris at TAG.

These guys in yesterday's mail made me smile.

You're a hundred percent right: Grody Monsters are SO photogenic! You don't need to be a good photographer to capture their awesomeness... I love taking Monster pics!

Wow Brian, you scored a "Header" Joe! Thats awesome...wouldn't part with mine, love him.

Hot out of the mailbox — and too excited not to share.

The colors on that Skullbe are pretty cool. The blue/clear is pretty cool.

^ Hey man, thanks! One of my favorite bees: "SB x S7" printed on the back of plush insert is a nice detail!

Nice one severen!

Thanks man! The color of the vinyl is absolutely awesome.

Someone just stopped by my desk and asked, "Whats the deal with that space banana?"

I would have turned that one around and said "What do YOU think the deal is with my space banana?"

"What the hell else am I supposed to feed my space monkey?!"
