Hey so I just got DX super Grand King and I notice that nearly every Super Grand king I look at is different from another. Basically he looks like a ancient robot and he has some paint scratches. And nearly every figure I look up has a different paint scratch from another in different location. One has a fully paint back then another one has scratches on its back. Then another has a scratch claw then another has it in a different location so my question is, is this normal or what? Even most of them say new.

Flaws of mass production I guess. Mine has a pretty universal black wash all around but it can pool in the recess of his back and some of his claws.

Are there any DX figures coming out besides Reugosite?

I believe that the above red & white Kaiju is a DX figure.

You would be correct. Snake Darkness is a DX figure.

He looks alright. I don't know anything about any of the newer (2013 and beyond) ultraman shows, but I do get some of the DX kaiju that look cool (I hate the 500 line). I got Skull Gomora last year.

What about Pega, Alien Dada (especially Dada!), Gurujiobone, Gurujioking, Galaktron MK2 and Gue Basser?

Why are you using the Japanese spelling?

I'm actually debating with myself if I should just quit collecting this line. It gets worse with almost every release... -_-

He looks like if Five King screwed the Michelin Man and out popped this.

I'm not sure where best to post this, so I'll try a couple of spots:

We have an SSSS.GRIDMAN vinyl kaiju coming in at last! Release is scheduled for August. It's a bit pricey for what it is, at $25-30, but at least with CD Japan, you can cut the price down further with rewards points if you have an account.
I say preorder this, and show there's interest for more!

If part of your body was a giant eyeball, wouldn't that be a serious weak spot? :eh:

So these definitely don't need their own thread, but I picked up the Bandai Attack and Change Ultra Vehicles for my son and we kinda love 'em!

Great looking kaiju but probably a pass since they're under 6 inches

U-Killersaurus is back...in uh, Lego form? A Chinese alternative for those of you who aren't looking to shell out loads of money on the original Bandai figure...



I found the translated description quite amusing:
"Too many parts
Instructions too unkind
I was frustrated
Please comment if anyone has assembled"
