Scary looking statue.

no mura can you explain the difference between yamanaya/marmit or even the connections if any

they both are super similar

and another company i see is kaijudyo or something like that where yamanaya figures are often said to be

There is no connection between Yamanaya and Marmit. Tsuburaya Communications was the company name before it changed to Yamanaya in 2003. Kaijukyo is a series name started under when it was Tsuburaya Communications.

[Orgasmatron]

alright that makes sense

i get confused sometimes seeing all the names being thrown around

Nice Zetton. Jet Jaguar looks cool, too, but I'm still not jumping on the X-Plus bandwagon.

Igaaru. Cost 4980 yen. Feb 12, 2012 online sales from Shikaruna Kobo

I wonder if the X-Plus Godzy and Jet Jaguar can be posed for a handshake. The right hands look like they might be able to approximate one, at least.

Five. Hundred. Dollars.... FOR THOSE 3?! What in all that is right?!

Five. Hundred. Dollars.... FOR THOSE 3?! What in all that is right?!

Unfortunately its a necessary evil. If all of these figures were at run'o'the'mill toystore prices, they'd be worthless to collectors - and in turn wouldn't be collector's items. They would be equivalent to the generic, packaged mediocrity that dons the shelves of every Wal-Mart. Marketplace value has to start somewhere, and there is a very steady market for these uppercrust figures in our fandom.

Its a surefire way to make money (if you have a unique/desirable item), and to make an impression. It separates the serious collectors from the casual.

Five. Hundred. Dollars.... FOR THOSE 3?! What in all that is right?!

The price I provided is correct. The largest figure is 30 cm in that set. Also forgot to mention a special Marusan Company steel brass emblem patch comes with the set. This emblem use to be worn by Marusan employees only in the 60s. So they are reproducing it for this special set.

Picture of the patch

[Cimmerian Dragon]

^ Wow, that brass Marusan emblem patch is really great. I don't see myself paying out for that set, but I wish I could just get one of those.

Too bad it won't happen; it would look great affixed to a shelf full of my Marusan figures.
