I would have PM'd that but I noticed I was at 49 posts, so this should unlock IMG for me :angel:
Side note: you only need to enter one dimension for pictures with the pic tag, like so:

Code: Select all

[Pic=imgurl] x500[/pic]

Thanks for the photos KlenSeven! Great stuff.

Just curious, but does anyone here own and have photos of the Marmit Iron Joe Gigan?

And now it's been a week, so it's time to nominate someone for the next Monster spotlight....TeddyBaragon, the floor is yours :g2k:

Found some good Gigan reviews on youtube by Samson West. In both of these reviews, he compares the figures to the elusive Marmit Kit/Iron Joe Gigan, so you can see several shots of that figure as well:

Love the Black Gallery MH Gigan. Image Damn, I wish Marmit still made new MH sculpts. With the recent news that Gigabrain will be producing a new Desu-Goji sculpt, perhaps there is hope that Marmit will be able to get back into the game at some point...

With the Gigantic Solvi Life figure arriving, I brought all my cyborgs together for a nice, evil family shoot.
Pictured: the Minimate, the Bandai Creation Pack of Destruction mini-figure, the standard(?) Trendmasters, the six-inch Bandai Creation (normal), and the Solvi towering over them all.

(here's another photo with their millennial relative)
