[Legion1979]

But once the MA version comes out you're going to sell this, right?

Don't be silly. Nobody will want the Gigabrain by then.

You know, before GB announced this figure, the Pilot Ace gold KG was at the top of my *Most Wanted* list for the longest time...it's a great figure. But this GB figure just takes things to a whole other level.

By the way, if you missed out the first time around, a toy dealer in Tokyo who I often buy figures from says that GB will be releasing a black variant later this year...and he's very reliable.

I wouldn't trade this baby for 100 MA Ghidorah figures

Awesome. I'll be eagerly watching for variants.

....

Now I'm glad I gave it a second thought before pursuing a method to buy that figure. Maybe a variant will change my mind.

Goddamn it that thing is huge and beautiful.

1) that's what she said

2) Yes, yes it is. I'm kicking myself for not getting one. Saving up for the next variant starts now.

I love that the Gigabrains have this incredible film accurate detailing combined with a vintage toy style (plus their quite huge). I can see the hype around these. I'd love to own a couple of these.

Exactly! They manage to incorporate a very difficult mix of screen accuracy and vinyl charm, something that takes skill and craft to pull off. Can't wait 'til I get mine!

[RedZillaKing]

Somehow that actually looks way worth the 200+ dollar price tag. Not as stylized as the normal Marmit or Pilot Ace Ghidorahs, yet just chubby and uniquely colored enough to fit in with the others. Honestly, if I could divert the scratch I would get one to go with my Marmit Godzilla 1964. I feel like these thongs are gonna coattails a kidney on the after market.

Auto-correct? PFFFT

And yeah, they are. I'm keeping my eyes out for a lucky break, but... I'm going to start saving for the next release (God[zilla] willing) just in case.

[RedZillaKing]

God I hate my auto correct. It turns words like Sanda and Gaira into Sands and Fairs. Yet it cant throw an apostrophe into the word cant.

As for the next release... I actually find the orange variant to be attractive as well.

That's kinda how I feel. I like this figure,its great, but it doesn't suit my needs right now. I liked the color scheme much more in the older photos of it, but seeing it not all professional like kinda changes my mind a bit.

This one just doesn't strike that spot with me, ya know?


Now, if a black color scheme one comes out... ALLLLLLL of my money.

[Legion1979]

ebirahsmeg needs to take more photos without a flash. I think the flash in those pictures is taking a lot away from the toy. Even he admits that.

[leunames]

Great pics. I just pulled out my pilot ace kg and a gigabrain mosu goji next to the monitor to compare scale references...looks like the pilot ace is the larger of the two by a little bit. However the Gigabrain's wings are appropriately huge.

All in all looks like a killer figure. And what's this about a black variant? i'll def be picking that up as well then!

[king_ghidorah]

Black highlights or all black...hmmm

[Rody]

THAT.... THING.... IS..... AWESOME.



I really, really, really wish I could afford figures like this - and it frustrates me to think the price will only raise with time.

(I'm also glad to see GB "fixed" Ghidorah's size; THIS is how big he should have been in the 60's.)

[Primevalgodzilla V2]

I think we might as well call 2012 the year of the accurately-scaled-Ghidorah.

That;s a pretty sweet Ghidorah. Unfortunately it will be a $1000 or so in Singapore shops. Goodness kmows what what-a-day will price it for ($3000 I'm guessing).
