Guess I won't be getting that one then for my awesome Parababies collection then which sucks balls because nearly all my babies are humanoid aliens.
I watched that episode recently and didn't get the whole "radiation" thing. As far as I could tell they were energy vampires that were taking kid's life force from the watches they were handing out free. I didn't see any connection to nuclear bombs or the war.
However, I understand the whole story behind the ban, just thought it was a bit reactionary.

Yum, Yuck!!!

Excellent.

This board needs more glow shots...

^^^ Yeah!

This jolly guy is pretty funny.
Whats his name, or is he supposed to be gamera?

No, that is Magular (or Maguraa), from Ultraman, episode 8.

UltraKaiju beat me to the punch.

Here are a few more details - That would be Magura (マグラー) from the 8th episode of the original Ultraman series. This figure was made in 1997 and is VP-29 in the Marmit Vinyl Paradise series.

This. Oh, a million times over, this.

Hah, that's funny!! I don't have the Magura in my collection but I do have the cool Marmit Neronga which also came from the same Baragon suit as Magura (as well as a few others like Pagos). I wonder how she would feel about those figs??!!

Wait you have a girlfriend that actually likes most of your toys? I think I'd keel over and die if my girlfriend said she even liked one of them. Although she did complement me on my vintage Fireman head pic, not the same thing of course but I'll take what I can get.

Freaky Yokai sculpts . . . another random reason why Marmit rules!

Great shot of that Noppera-bo. I love how subtle the face is. What is the other cyclops thing?

^^^ the cyclops is Dorotabo and the grey blob is Nuppeppo.

Noppera-bo is a humanoid ghost with no face that gets confused with Nuppeppo quite often . . . probably because the name is similar.

I hadn't ever ready about Nuppeppo, I just always assumed people were taking a lot of creative license and creating a lumpy blob style Noppero-bo. I learned my Bear Model Nuppeppo to be called Noppera-bo and just went with that. You learn something new every day.

I would not have guessed the other guy was a Dorotabo, but I like the figure.

^^ Yeah, i did'nt realise that sculpt was 'Dorotabo' either until recently - but i've always admired it.
On his foot stamp they've spelt it 'Dorota Bo'.

I waited something like 6 months pre-order for that one and then recently scored 3 in one go from an SB'er!

You just never know

here's an old, stop-motion-ish video (click thumbnail to watch):

i'm starting to see a pattern here...

Love the choice of music on that second video with Spectreman!

Glitter Marmit Rules

It sure does!

not my pic, but I think this rules!

OK, so this might not officially be Marmit. If I remember correctly it is by Sovbi Life (?), which was a smaller/affiliated company of Marmit, and was a festival exclusive sometime around 2003. With all the talk of the new M1 Ballunga just thought I'd share. It is glow and is hanging by fishing line from the light in my geek room.

Great figure, I've never come across one for sale though unfortunately. I've said it before, but I still love how you display flyers!

Thanks Yuck!!! Yeah, I'm tempted to hunt down the 2 Para-Baby Ballungas and hang them next to this one. Really hoping that M1 does a glow version of their new sculpt.
