better late than not. We just got our stack in at GH. These guys served first and then what's left will go online later this week.

Such sweet news. I think we are all getting killed on the Yen these days, so there isn't really any way to win. Just so happy that some are going to make it to this hemisphere. Thanks so much for your efforts Bwana!

^^^ What he said

gargamel x butanohana

these look amazing

arent those the resins that were in the gashapon awhile back?

These are all kinnikuman/MUSCLE figures by the looks of things. Really cool, but as they are mostly Gargamel inspired, if they end up being anywhere near the price and availability of the Buta gachas, I will have to take a pass. Cool to have, and fun, but not a need.

I'm pretty sure theyre made by gargamel and were sold in their gashapon awhile ago.. I could be wrong though.

Koji just posted these on instagram a couple days ago- said they were for wonderfest or superfest, i cant remember. some fest.

some are new and yes, looks like its for SF60 gacha

So happy with the Balunga release. One of the best Buta sculpts in a while. But c'mon- how hot is this?

^^really nice. The colors are awesome and the sculpt rules!

Wowowow, those colors. Very much want.

Is that red Eleking in the background new too?

So nice and colorful. I agree, one of Buta's best in a while.

really really nice

Superb colours and paint job, and that red Eleking, wowsers!

Yeah best new Buta sculpt you won't be able to get your hands on because no one over here sells them- AND I refuse to pay middlemen for new stuff anymore.

Super7 used to sell But a toys, but no more I guess.

They still get them in, from time to time.
The last stuff they got in were the Garamons and Godzillas.

What is the name of this sculpt? And is there a full-shot anywhere?

Isn't the new Buta sculpt Mummy Man from Ultraman? (pic from bonemask's flickr):

Wait D No said it was Balunga. Don't know who that is, and I don't think Mummy Man has teeth. So I'm wrong...looks similar though. Butanohana should make a Mummy Man.

Chris - Not sure who the new guy is either, but Balunga has already been released. It's this figure here:


ぶたのはな - バルンガ by Yohei Yamashita, on Flickr

I didn't think that was the Mummy, and if it was, I really can't see him being done without Dodongo (but how awesome would that be?! ) The face is just a bit wrong, as are the teeth, and from the earlier full body shot, you can see he is sans wrappings. I thought he might be some take on Wolf from the Leo episode, but that seemed a bit off too.



Turns out, I am pretty sure he is another character from Chibira-kun, called Mechara (episode 53) but I can't find anything more specific than that.

^^^ Beat me to it, Steve! What he said.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - a Dodongo and the Mummy set (à la all those great Taro twofers that he used to put out) is the Zazahn of my Butan pipe dreams.

Was saying how impressed I was with the release of Balunga. But this new sculpt and color scheme is just mind blowingly perfect. Everything I love about this company is captured in this new guy

These were made by Gargamel, they're resin (3 were previously released at SDCC last year) They came as a set for 2500 yen. You can see more details here if you're interested:
