Anyone want a $50 Gigabrain Gigan?



Is the "Purin" drink included with it? :godzilla:

That's $60 when converted correctly, and anyone buying from outside Japan will have to pay commission fees to a deputy service plus any shipping involved. Might still end up being a reasonable price in the end, though.

Simply awesome leunames. When you get a chance, can you post some more up close photos of the different head scupts made for the glow-in-the-dark variant? I really wish they would release the closed-mouth head sculpts in the regular gold variant...

I am going to admit that the Gigabrain Showa King Ghidorah looks stunning, all variants :).

The black one is my favourite.

Great grab on all three. I can't wait to see what other color version Gigabrain will release on these beauties and hopefully grab.

I envy that glow Ghidorah. I can't afford to be getting multiple variants of that toy, though. XD Great pic!

Might as well show off my new Gigabrain a little more.

Ew. A Mac.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph.

I love the GB Jet Jaguar...I have the glow variant. Now you need to hunt down the Mosu-Goji and Gigan and you're all set (unless of course you *really* want Hedorah and Zone Fighter)...

Ew, a moderator making spam posts.

Thanks ebirahsmeg, I love it too. Your glow variant looks fantastic as well; have any more pics?

Unfortunately I have to cut back on figure spending for a couple months while I wait for my first university stipend check so my Gigabrain family will stay as it is for a while.

This is definitely my favorite of the Gigabrain Jet Jaguar figures, Jomei. Glad you got it!

This is most likely old news, but here are some new Gigabrain variants:

I would really like to see that closed mouth KG figure in a normal golden color scheme...

^Yeah, I posted those in the new releases thread, but it's good to have them here, too, if for no other reason than to bump this great thread. :]

I like this shot of some Gigabrains throwing down, so why not repost it here:

With the exception of the king-Goji, everything looks terrible. I must say that Ghidorah repaint looks fugly..... If anyone pays 200+ bucks for that I'd be laughing at them and shaking my head.

I like the whole pastel-glow look, but I don't think it works well on the Ghidorah. I think the yellow highlights and pink mouths are too much.

I don't like it as much as the other variants, but it's not *that* bad.

And Hedorah's an unconventional color choice, but I think it looks good--wouldn't be the colorway I'd go for, but I can see the appeal.
