 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
Nice to see mind blowing customs, but I miss Gargamel regular releases

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
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.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
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!!!!

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
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?

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

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
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 think that sculpt is great too. Naoya sculpted that one.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
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.
