Nice to see mind blowing customs, but I miss Gargamel regular releases

Personally I find those GID/clear/pastel/florescent figures to be hideous. They remind me of paint apps on another figure (I'm thinking Secret Base?), which I also didn't care for - garish in all the wrong ways.
And in general the paint on clear just doesn't look quite right - too heavy handed and the paint doesn't even make the sculpt pop. Looking around my room at the clear toys with paint I see a lot of subtlety but on these figures the colors just kinda blend together into a messy mishmash with no definition. I like the legs on that teal zag with the red toes and yellow ankles, but aside from those two limbs I'm not seeing anything I like. GID, clear, and guts do not equate to automatic wins. I'd be interested to know which ones Naoya did, because generally I think he's the best painter at G.

I'm with you. Not into the hipster palette at all.

i just love the word Mibora. Sometimes I walk around the house and say it different ways. It drives Sheila crazy.

I'll never own one, but its my fav Gargamel sculpt.

(i like staring at Mark's. )

MIBORA!!!!

interesting stuff! I wish there was a Bako custom though. I enjoy seeing all the fun ideas, but I'm not really into the clear with head-and-body guts versions as much. a lot going on. I prefer subtle stuff or solid vinyl customs. There was a garamon Deathra done a while back. anyone have a pic?

oohh...thank you!

I am referring to all the Big Deathras I am seeing from the pics posted, just to be 'clear'--no pun intended.

I have my fair share of subtle! GID limbs with multi colored GUTS.....YES PLEASE

^ True that!!

The glow inserts are just nuts! I wish I could be at the show to snag a zag.

I'm still wondering what the venue will be like in Higashi-nakano.....after all those shows in Koenji at TO....its gonna be fun to see what it's like

I know most of these have been posted elsewhere, but I'm going to share a few here:






First figure sold




2nd...



and then.....

Were they selling guts??!!

Nope, display only (via KaijuKorner)

wow

killer show

lotsa brite shiny colours

can you believe this one is already on YJA ???

I have not seen it there yet, but will check later, but total BULLSHIT!!!!!

unless there is someone who really want this particular colourway, it will be difficult for the seller to get what he is expecting for gargamel's customs these days. with more 1-offs than regular production, the gargamel customs are not like hxs's even though they look great and i still collect them wherever possible.

i just want the custom baikin germ- hoping it makes it to online sales but i doubt it

Love all the new custom Deathra and Miborah, wish i was there to drool.

Micro Thrashman stole the show!

I think that sculpt is great too. Naoya sculpted that one.

Yeah, I thought the micro Trashman looked great. Were there any painted versions for the show.
I'd love to see pics of painted Trashman if ever there's one.

Pics????
