Japan New or Future Kaijū Toy Releases

[Mugendude26]

I really like the Orga polystone resin statue that you posted KnM. It looks so realistic and exactly like the suit.

^Having recently gotten the Ultra Q series, that last update certainly was interesting to me. Thanks Kaiju, and now we know; I honestly hadn't thought about the no-double posts, I was just watching your updates.

[kaijukurt]

I wonder why companies keep on producing convention or store-exclusive toys? Do they actually earn from them?

[Captain Aktion]

If they sell out of an entire print run, even if a small run, then any company would consider that a profit.

TARGET EARTH

Robot Kong. Cost 8,400 yen (approx $105). Approx 9.5 inches in height. Release date October 2011.

[Jomei]

lol what is Robot Kong from? Assuming it's not just a different interpretation of Mechanikong.

Target Earths Robot Kong design is losely based on 2 sources which was the 60's King Kong anime and a Robot Kong and King Kong anatomy manga illustration. Mechani Kong was also based loosely on the Robot Kong from the 60s King Kong anime.



Update: Target Earth has extended it's preorder until September 7th. Target Earth has also renamed the character from Robot Kong to Robot Gorilla. An additional "mad scientist" mini vinyl figure will come with Robot Gorilla.

[kaijukurt]

A 30 cm Gamera! That's awesome!
Also, I wonder why companies still produce Gamera Figures? (not that I'm complaining, though)
Does it mean Gamera is still a popular/profitable character in Japan?

I'm loving the Revoltech Legion! That's getting pre-ordered as soon as possible...My wallet hates me so much right now. Also, will the Hazawa Gumi be available in other stores/sites, or is it only an exclusive to the Festival? (and of course Ebay.)

I've only just arrived here at these forums and the poll is closed, but I'm just going to add in that you're definitely not wasting your time. It's awesome seeing all that's new and upcoming out there. So, thank you for making this thread and keeping us up to date!

[Showa Gyaos]

That Legion is $53? I might pass on the Bandai then.

[Jomei]

Awesome Legion.

CCP Gamera looks amazing, too. Is it more of a statue or a figure? My girlfriend is crazy about large scale Gameras, so I might end up in the market for one of these.

That version of Hazawa Gumi will be introduce at the upcoming Super Festival toy show. Like always Hazawa Gumi will make them available for sale after the show usually directly from them (they do not sell to international customers). Sometime clawmarktoys get some of the Hazawa Gumi for sale. The price I gave are original cost. A resell from clawmarktoys will cost you more around $100. And thanks I am glad you are enjoying this topic section.

That Legion is $53? I might pass on the Bandai then.

If you wait about 6-12 months most likey Hobby Link Japan will offer them 25-33% off sometimes as high 50%, like they have on all of the Revoltechs.

CCP Gamera looks amazing, too. Is it more of a statue or a figure?

More of figure statue. There is probably very little articulation. I have the smaller one next to it. And the arms and tail have very little articulation.

[StonedHope]

Seeing Legion's feet really ruins his look for me. If I were to grab this I'd have them hidden by something.

[MechaGamera]

Yeah the feet betray its design in this more than any other version of the character I have seen.

[Tyler]

I still can't make out how many limbs she's supposed to have.
