 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
This...I really want this. Not just for the fact that it's been in just about every bizzarre "Mysteries of the Unexplained" book for the last 40 years because it is supposed to be a sculpture of an "astronaught" but because it's just plain cool.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
^^ What are you even talking about? I had to google the image but there is nothing even remotely close between the two. It's based off The Dogū.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Damn kids- get off my lawn!!!
Once you know what the Jomon Dogu look like, you begin to see the design influences everywhere in Japan. There is a really cool gashapon set of the antique clay figures (Dogu, Haniwa) that came out recently.
I still have the original brown Dogu from Marmit. Good display piece if you're in an office setting, since it's not too off-the-wall.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Like I said...It's also in every old Von Daniken-esque book ever written as a reference to "ancient travellers". It's def in "Mysteries of the Unexplained" and "Out of This World". I remember even as a kid being fascinated by that original museum DOGU in those books. It's funny but I always thought it was brown. It's obviously grey in that pic Bryce has put up....it's f*ing creepy. I'm actively going to seek one when I'm in Japan....if I get there.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Randy (CrabRangoon) recently set up a host of toys from his collection for a gallery show here in Austin. I need to go back with a better camera, but I did take a snap of this beautiful Marmit Gorosaurus. The textrure is flattened out in the shot, but it has this awesome pebbly texture, like styrofoam when it gets broken and you see all the little styro-balls. The colors on this guy are also just amazing.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
I think Marmit might reuse the same body from the Skull head butt Zombie alien for this toy

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
^^^ I would have never made the connection on that one.
The zollmen mini is way better in my opinion..The head on this doesn't even look close.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
The sculptor definitely left off all the radiation burns. Kinda misses the point of the monster.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
That seller has had an amazing range of rare Marmit figures and test shots over the years. Interesting to see an unproduced figure surface.
