Post My Kaiju
Hi guys.
I'm a toy designer/inventor for a living. First post here.
Big fan of sofubi and kaiju, although I don't really own that much... I mainly just lust over all the new stuff that's coming out; it's a new world for me.
Thought I'd share my collection with you guys, nothing particularly special here but I like 'em! All are Bandai, mainly made in Japan, and all bar a couple were made in the 80's.

As far as new stuff goes I think it's important that Fossilla makes it into my life one day very soon... that's how I first came across Super7 and I was too late!
But it's a great sculpt. I want it. Now. Very nice in grey.

Anyway here's what clutters my desk currently kaiju wise.

Well I for one appreciate the classics. Bandai got me into the hobby, and probably quite a few more besides. The Viras has always been a favourite of mine, and the early 80s figures especially were done with such rough character that I think they are fantastic.

Plus, it is the only way to have toys of some excellent kaiju, until they are remade by M1 or Bearmodel.

Yeah Space Virus is very strange. I think it could do with a relaunch!

The Marusan 'Nitto' version are also very excellent, and available at a bargain usually. M1 did a great mini version, if you haven't seen it:

I forgot to mention, welcome to the board! :D

I like a lot of the Bandai 80s designs, hell that's all I could get back then. Some of them are still amongst my favorites.

Nice collection!

I like how rustic they are. Not sure if that's the best way to describe it!
