Toy Spotlight: Gigabrain

[Petezilla]

Thanks for sharing with us that you only buy Bandai (you stated the exact same thing in the Marmit Appreciation thread too...we more than get the point already)...enjoy the very limited selection of kaiju that Bandai offers (leaves more non-Bandai figures for the rest of us to snatch up).....otherwise, why are you even bothering to post in this and the Marmit thread other than just to say that you only collect Bandai?

Oh, I'm so sorry for expressing my appreciation of the Gigabrain and Marmit figures in these "Spotlight"- and "Appreciation"-threads - even if I'm not able (or not willing, due to financial reasons) to get actively into them and therefore HAVE to stay with BANDAI's. Be happy, that I'm too poor to snatch up these things, feel free to buy what I won't (although I would do it, if named reasons were non-existent on my side) and feel cool for the rest of the day. You can rest assured that I won't show appreciation of something others love and collect - but that I simply can't afford while still liking it - on here again.

You're not a mod, and Jomei (who is) has already said the same thing and it was not something that involved you. Please get over yourself...

Flamewars involve everybody who's reading through these forums, isn't it? It's personal debates that nobody really wants to read in a topic discussion. So what's wrong about expressing the feeling to the "flamers" that not only the mod is sick of it, but other regular members might be too? But, oh well, you just did again what I criticised in my "forbidden" previous post, which you're referring to. And I do it even again, by answering to you now. Well, it seems quite hard to avoid it. And that's why I now end this all new flame debate. At least for myself. You may continue alone if you wish to do so ~

Now, I KNOW I told you guys to get on-topic. Next spam/personal debate post gets a warning.

I posted this in another thread, but this is the Kingoji I'm getting in with my Gold Ghidorah.



The purple has grown on me greatly.

I think GB was in the mood for purple at the start of 2012, as they released this variant along with a purple Gigan variant back in January. Not really crazy about this paint scheme...but honestly, the GB Kingoji figure kicks so much ass that even if it were pink with yellow polka-dots, it would still rule the world Be sure to post pics when you get it...

Brilliant...I'm willing to bet this would be an incredible match for the black GB Ghidorah.

[Captain Aktion]

Well, someone finally bought it; I was wondering how long it would take. There was a GB Ghidorah for sale on Clawmark for $350. It didn't last long...

[RedZillaKing]

Yeah I saw that too. I just rolled my eyes and navigated away. Those people suck.

[ebirahsmeg1]

This is a very nice collection of photos from a GB collector from the CT forums (canofhumdingers) who has some really interesting/unique variants in his GB collection that really sets it apart from most regular GB collections:

A Gigabrain Trifecta!!!!

[Cimmerian Dragon]

I haven't seen pics of the '64 variant that I own posted here yet, so here are a couple to fill the void:

[godzilla898]

That's a really striking Gigan you got there, Cimmy.

[Captain Aktion]

That GB 64 variant looks like it's a Popy color scheme, but with added gold highlights. Very, very cool, CD.

[kkawachi]

That gold varient is straight up unfair to flaunt.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

That's a really striking Gigan you got there, Cimmy.

It's the Black/Blue release Legion already posted pics of. Definitely my favorite Gigan color scheme out of any stylized figure.

[RedZillaKing]

Stylized my ass CD. That Gigan resembles the character more than the 6 inch Bandai could ever hope to.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Shhhhh....! You'll make the Big B angry!

But I was primarily basing the 'stylized' classification on the non-standard color scheme. I do agree that it's a phenomenally accurate sculpt.

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

I dunno, the Theatre Exclusives and CCP's Artistic Monster Collections do have zany color schemes but I'm not sure if most of them are stylized.

But yeah, the GB Gigan looks awesome.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Let's just agree that the paint jobs are stylized. I've just always sort-of lumped any toy that isn't making an attempt at accuracy in a separate group from the figures that do. Not a big deal either way.

[RedZillaKing]

Yeah you're right. The sculptures is realistic yet the paint makes it stylized.

[Jomei]

Suddenly I have a small Gigabrain collection.

^Me want GHIDORAH!!!...I want one so much but I guess i'll have to stick with the Monsterarts Ghidorah.

Why, is there a law saying you can't own both?


I love your photo Jomei...Such a happy family I really wish the majority of my collection wasn't back in the states, as I would love to take a group photo of my GB collection (I have all the figures except for Hedorah...and I am sure I will cave in and get that someday as well).

By the way, hope you don't get pissed Legion, but I am posting the very cool photo you took of your GB figures together which you posted awhile ago on the CT forums...I love this photo!

No write-up, but here's a (crappy) Gigabrain group photo...

Oh yeah, I don't have Zone Fighter either...no real desire to be honest (not a big fan of the character at all...but if I run across him in Tokyo/Akiba and the price is right, I will likely snatch him up for completionist's sake...)
