Re: Target Earth For the record, I think that's the only version of Karakk to have ever been released. At least I hope so. He's definitely one of my favorite toys and that Mandarake price is ridiculous. I've only ever seen two on the aftermarket -- mine and that one.

Re: Target Earth There seriously needs to be another! Even unpainted I'd take, and I don't go for unpainted usually. So cool. I think a red or forest green would be cool. Anyway, I'm so bummed I missed it that day. Such a cool figure.

#HYPE 2500 yen is ridiculous?! That's a great price! I too had numerous chances to get ol' Karakk and never did. I did see his pic on tumblr recently and it reminded me of missed chances:

Re: Target Earth In the holy-shit-someone-got-that-really-cheap kind of ridiculous. So yes, ridiculous.

Re: Target Earth JAY wrote: I guess its time for some Grotesque Monster revival?! Hear, hear! By far one of my favorite Target Earth sculpts. He's such a weirdo. Still looking for that white one that I mentioned over four years ago in the third post in this thread. ![\":lol:\"](\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" "\\"Laughing\\"") Or what about poor pollution monster Gyaoh that never came out:

Re: Target Earth bryce_r wrote: ^^ It's already been produced....hasn't it?? Yes...This version came out about four years ago. I think a unpainted green was sold at the same time. Here is a pic of mine that shows the dark green vinyl the figure is cast in...

Re: Target Earth Didn't realize it was on green vinyl, I always thought it was black. So cool.

Re: Target Earth Do a search for Octoman, the movie (1971), there's your reference.
Edit: early Work of Rick Baker on the Octo suit.

Re: Target Earth Some more early head sculpts...  Baphomet  Chupacabra  Martian The Baphomet head sculpt looks really interesting. Don't really care for the other two but that might change.

Re: Target Earth nice pic Joe, looks much better than the original sales pic. I kinda regret not getting one now. I love his Gamerudon shaped nose.

Re: Target Earth My original worry was about the thinness of the waist. But in hand it doesn't seem to thin at all.
