 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Ah cool, I wasn't aware of the actual numbers, though I did suspect it would be low [relatively]. Such a shame really. And while I would be ecstatic to have either in my collection, I am with you in having hunted down the green especially. It is too bad we can't get another glow clearance like the massive exodus from Sanjeev's. It is a good bet a fair chunk of the folks checking on the quality toys on this forum have at least one figure coming from his blessed shelves. Or, I guess, if you would commit yourself wholly to vintage.  (hey, a kid can dream)

I'm big on the PB type 2, myself:  One day you will be mine! Love that sparker colorway on anything, really.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
^ Yep, that is a pretty nice one too. Can't go wrong with most Baltans. At long last I got a few more additions to my Gargantuas family. A few left still, but after all these years, it gives me great pleasure to be to check off a couple from the list. Here are the two loveable giants from the Para Babies line. I couldn't get my preferred festival version of Gaira to match the darker Tokyo Show Sanda, but damn, this is still extremely satisfying.    In case anyone didn't notice, yes, I really love the Gargantuas.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
That funky little omake is actually a building.  Good for trampling on or hurtling at your enemy as a makeshift weapon.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Anyone here pick up the recent “Tales of Two Minutes Monster” from the Monster Heaven line? Usually, dino-type sculpts don’t so much for me, but I do love that thing… would love to hear thoughts from someone who’s experienced it in-hand.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Got a pic of them? I do love dino toys, and hadn't heard anything about these. It might be more painful to know what I missed out on, but I am definitely intrigued. The idea of classic monsters shorts hits me in all the right spots.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Ah cool. While I kinda of like the character, it is along the lines of the darker and metallic paint schemes and 'realistic' nature of all the recent Marmit figures, which, while incredibly skilled and of the highest quality, just don't really do it for me. A guy like this would really stand out against my collection of VP and earlier MH figures that are more, I don't know, toy-like. I guess I just prefer more simplistic versions and basic colours - but these work fantastically on all these B movie monsters.

You can really feel the heft of the lower half of that sculpt. Just marvelous.

 He's got a paint scuff on his eye which needs some care.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Great Mongler man! The demon eyes on that one make him especially creepy. Although I find the Q version to be a bit cuter and less nightmare-inducing, this Marmit version is pretty great. I have one with the more typical MH metallic highlights:

Man, that Godola Seijin is ADORABLE! I've never had a good look at him before.

 Re: Random reasons why Marmit Rules
Yep, I was guilt of not giving these PB guys enough attention to in the past. But here is an exception to the rule, this mini Dustman is one of the my favourites from the Parababy line. Such a nice original sculpt of a great character. Done on a beautiful yellow vinyl with gorgeous paints, I just love him.
