Too true. I guess I should have taken the extra second to add, "and be lucky enough" to score them. I know being in Japan doesn't assure you one of these any more than being here in California assures you a U.S. release.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
Via Andy at Kaiju Korner, there were 4 They Live aliens at Design Festa BUT there were pre-orders for more if you wanted. I really need one of these, I have a pretty legit collection of They Live stuff (posters, vinyl soundtrack, motorbots resin, halloween mask, even a damn tattoo!) so it won't be complete w/o this damn thing.
So cool. I'll always love the "80's" hair on those guys.
I was like 9 when I saw it for the 1st time. I only saw it because my dad said "the Roddy Piper movie is on TV do you wanna see it?" and as a big fan of his I freaked. I had no idea what I was in for.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
Here's a better pic of the head...  I think the paint application on this figure works very well.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
You should see the head of this toy with the glasses on... IT'S FRANK KOZIK!

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
I love the sculpt but am I the only one that thinks this colorway is just a tad burnt gingermanish?

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
The paint app is trying to approximate the weird video-interference effect on colors seen through the glasses... not an easy thing to portray on a toy, but I think it works pretty well.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
HA- yes, John… OR Ray Milland and Rosey Grier as The Thing With Two Heads! That could be the most hilariously confounding vinyl toy of all time…

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
Yeah I think the colorway is great. It's just that the first thing in my mind was gingerbread man but that is just because I haven't watched They live. But I watched the trailer after I saw the figure and I'll definitely watch the movie.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
I want one badly too but its released by Skull Head Butt thats mean even there will be variation they will be still very limited. I doubt any B-Movie Monster made by SHB have paid the copyright. so they mean to be limited run.

 Re: skull head butt B-movie space monsters
I think Marmit might reuse the same SHB Zomibe alien body for this Robot Secretary new toy.

It looks like a robot version of Higgins from Magnum p.i.
