Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain!
The blue Ghidorah would look a lot better if they had applied some kind of paint to the teeth. It almost looks like the world's best bootleg as it is.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain!
All the ghidorah's they've released this year are solid color except for the eyes. The prior editions have paint on the teeth. They could have added some highlights, but it's not a deal breaker for me and I got this for metallic blue paint, not highlights.Captain Aktion wrote:The blue Ghidorah would look a lot better if they had applied some kind of paint to the teeth.

The metallic sheens are a brilliant hue. This really wouldn't be confused for a bootleg by anyone since Ghidorah boots are tremendously small. Also, a uniform color scheme =/= bootleg by default. Plenty of legit toys have 1 color and they don't look like boots.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain!
I have to say I was a little skeptical of these figures at first but I have to say these are really grown on me. I don't own any as of right now but from the ones I have seen that my friends own they are very unique and pretty neat addition to any collection. Which brings me to ask if I were to get a couple to include in my collection which ones would you suggest in buying?

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain!
All of the sculpts are great. Just get what you like...you cannot go wrong with any of the godzilla sculpts and the hedorah is probably the best hedorah out there. I need to get one myself. Obviously I love their KG. The Gigan is also fantastic.DoubleDam21 wrote:I have to say I was a little skeptical of these figures at first but I have to say these are really grown on me.

Basically, high priority on any of them except for monster x. It'd be wrong for you to start a gigabrain collection with monster x.

Of course I know that, it just stands out as missing.leunames wrote:Also, a uniform color scheme =/= bootleg by default. Plenty of legit toys have 1 color and they don't look like boots.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain!
I love Gigabrain figures, especially MosuGoji and Ghidorah. It is a shame they are too expensive for me to get.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain!
I have no idea if this has already been mentioned or not, but it appears Gigabrain is reissuing their Zone Fighter figure

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain!
Guessing not for some time. Gigabrain seems to be on a reissue kick. Surprised this zone fighter is the same colorway. Yawn.Jomei wrote:Meh. Any whispers about a new sculpt? I know it's usually a year or two between them for Gigabrain.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain
Not the only one I really want to hunt down a Gigabrain Ghidorah and Gigan eventually. No doubt he would be on my priority list along with his cyborg cohort.subatomic_Matt wrote:I am becoming deeply in lust with that King Ghidorah.

Start from page 1, it will answer you question. Just a line of figures.

This is an very belated reply, but that metallic King Ghidorah looks sick......just awesome.Leunames wrote:I love the metallic blue KG. it's sheen is absolutely fantastic

A few days ago in Nakano Broadway, I saw a purple Gigabrain KG....I should have taken a photo, but it was behind glass unassembled and crammed with a bunch of other unrelated tokusatsu figures, so it would have been shitty anyways.
*Sigh*, the good ol' days of Gigabrain making figures....it was fun while it lasted.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain
As cool as the metallic blue Ghidorah is, I'd still take the default gold one ay day. That's just me though, I'm an Accuracy-Nazi when it comes to toys.

I've had a purple Ghidorah for awhile now and I've got a gold on the way. Would love to get a black one. Gigabrain is fantastic.

I wish I had a list of all the different variants that have been done for each sculpt. That'd be cool.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain
The first few pages have a pretty comprehensive, albeit not complete checklist of the Gigabrain variants.

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain
Sorry If I'm necroing but http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gigabrain-King- ... 1668580113 is this Gigabrain Gold King Ghidorah legit? It doesn't have a painted tounge or teeth which the original gold versions did. i know some of the latter variants had non painted mouths but I wasn't sure if another gold variant without mouth paint had been made. Also I'm not sure if it's just the camera but the gold isn't as shiney as I have observed the legit ones to be. Anyone have any idea? (also sorry if this is the wrong place to put this)

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain
I was gonna ask about this, but I didn't.
The only issue I'm seeing would be the open mouth on each head. This paint variant was available at Summer or Winter Wonfes but all of the heads had a closed mouth.....

Re: Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain
After looking at the Gigabrain figures I really want Hedorah, Godzilla 1964, Godzilla 1962 and King Ghidorah.
