What toy did you just buy?

[ZillaMaster91]

Pre-ordered myself an Ultra-Act Red King over at Hobby Search.

@GreenAiden
The Destroyah is Marmit. A newer variant, I take it.

[leunames]

OOoooohhhh, dat Destoroyah.

Marmit? I dunno, I'd like some more info.

marmit monster heaven. it's a newer variant, but it was released i think in 2010. i'll have to check the header card

[Kaiju no Mura]

OOoooohhhh, dat Destoroyah.

Marmit? I dunno, I'd like some more info.

Yes, it's Marmit. It's the 3rd reissue as a made to production order released in May 2011. Also nice grab leunames I still need that color version.


Here is a pic of the first release from my collection:


And here is a pic of the second release also from my collection:

[Manda2012]

Pre-ordered UA Red King over at AmiAmi. 3,520 JPY - approx. $43 US.

[Jomei]

Haven't paid yet, but it looks like I'm getting a Gigabrain Godzilla '62... not sure what color is available yet...

... and a gold Gigabrain Ghidorah. My wallet is hemorrhaging. This means I'll probably have to put off articulated figures such as MA Ghidorah, UA Redking, and UA Max for a few months. But Gigabrain obviously takes precedence over those.

[ZillaMaster91]

Eh, I just canceled my preorder for UA Red King, for now.
I'll get it and the New Edition of UA Ultraman closer to the beginning of August.

I'd rather pay for my X-Plus Godzilla 1989, and S.H. MonsterArts Fire Rodan when they release before getting anything else.

[Orgasmatron]

got a yamanaya crazygon in the mail

the blue/silver variant

he's beautiful


his large arm has 3 points of articulation which is real nice ill get pictures of him up soon

[Manda2012]

My Revoltech Alphonse Elric, from "Full Metal Alchemist" arrived today. 2,580 JPY( approx. $32 US ), 1,090 JPY SAL Registered( approx. $14 US ), from AmiAmi. Only 11 days in transit! So, based on my experience, 10-14 days, to get here, AND a tracking #. Nice.

[Drunken Kong]

X-Plus 25cm Gigan, Jet Jaguar, MechaGodzilla

Debating if I should get an X-Plus Ultraman Belial or not.

[Legion1979]

Got these a couple of days ago thanks to James Bond of Radioactive Toys, who has a TON of Godzilla and Ultraman Bandais he's been collecting throughout the year which will be for sale at G-Fest in July...



Aside from the green (tagged!) Astromons, which is from the 1989 line, everything here is from the 1991-1993 Ultramonster series. This leaves only four figures that I need in order to complete the 70-figure collection from that time frame: Namegon, King Joe, Takkong and Kilazee. Unfortunately it seems finding an undamaged King Joe from that era is impossible. But we'll see.

[RedZillaKing]

Oh Bandai... how far you've come.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

1984 Great Monster Series Ghidorah:



He dwarfs the standard-scale Bandai MKGs, and the Grand King Ghidorah figure as well:

[RedZillaKing]

The hell'd you get his wings ta stay in?

[Jomei]

I want the Para Baby.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

The hell'd you get his wings ta stay in?

Heat the vinyl around the slots, insert wings, vinyl cools, wings trapped.

I also reinforced the tabs with a layer of tape, to prevent them from snapping if they got bumped, as they're prone to do.

[Legion1979]

About a year ago me and my friend Greg took a trip to our friend Rob's house in Brooklyn, since he was selling his collection and invited us by to check it out. I ended up coming home with around 25 different Ultramonsters that day. Today we went back into Brooklyn to pay him another visit, and I came home with these guys...



1991 Namegon, 1991 Kilazee, 1994 Gudon, original 1996 Golza, another 1991 Baltan and...ummm...what's his name again?

Either way, Namegon and Kilazee bring me even closer to finishing off the 1991-1993 line. Only King Joe and Takkong to go. Of course like I said it's tough to find an undamaged original King Joe. Meanwhile, while Monster Empire lists Takkong as number 41, the Figure-Oh Bandai Ultraman magazine doesn't picture it and skips 41 entirely. What gives? Anyone know what a 1991-release Takkong even looks like?

Are you absolutely sure it was actually released? Does anyone have a photo of it?

EDIT: Is this it?

[Legion1979]

No, that's the 1994 release. I have that one.

[RedZillaKing]

So you buy multiples of the same mold? What if it's not a drastic color variation? Do you buy it? Where do you draw the line?

Anyhoo grabbed my second MISB Spacegodzilla today. Preordered my MISB Moguera as well. Two Red Kings and one Max. My God it's gonna be an expensive year. I'll need a second shelf before long!
