If things work out, I will finally, finally have a Gigabrain Ghidorah. Been holding out for a while as many of the variants after the first few looked quite half assed compared to the care that went into the initial black, gold and glowies.
It is a simple story. There is nothing that brings me happiness. Be it believing in others or them believe in me, it did not matter.
What others called happiness simply did not bring me joy.

I'm not usually big on the stylized figures (not insulting the line, just saying), but I would love that Gigan and Godzilla '65 in my collection. Have they shown up anywhere for sale?

Currently a Gigabrain Ghidorah for under 300 bucks on Ebay. Would have nabbed him myself but bought an Xplus GhidoGoji before I noticed him.

Wow, this is unexpected. After 4 years, it appears that Gigabrain is back, and their figure will be in 30cm scale instead of the 8 inch/25cm scale of all their other figures (the katakana says "Giant Size").

I'm a bit surprised (albeit a little disappointed, to be honest) that they have chosen to go with Desu-Goji. Regardless, could this be a long revival of the line? Has TOHO finally gotten Bandai to loosen its grip on the license? God I hope so....keeping fingers crossed...

While I dont care much for Desu-Goji I'm hoping this means there is going to be more new sculpts by Gigabrain (and maybe even Marmit eventually please) C'mon Gabara!

Woah. That is a really cool looking sculpt. Depending on if this gets released, how it will be painted, and if I will have the space by then... I might actually pay for one. :shock:

Any new information regarding the Gigabrain DesuGoji? I haven't heard anything regarding him.

Nope, nada. Here is Gigabrain's website to check, but as it pertains to Godzilla, it hasn't been updated in quite awhile:

They update their website the week of a festival and then remove it after the festival is over for G figures. I think they mostly get weekend (festival) licenses at this point rather than anything for a wide release. Maybe a new sculpt will change that.... I'll try to update this thread in the future when they post a variant... I track it with an RSS agent so I don't miss anything.

Well at least I didn't miss it and it didn't get stealth released. Good to know.
