Thanks to I Am The Fourth, i finally tracked down this set . . . . very happy Bear Model Yokai by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Yokai Info Sheet by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Umiperorin by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Umibozu by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Kappa by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
more Johnny Sokko minis . . . its cool they are slightly larger than the usual minis. I want the whole set now! Lygon by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Draculan by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Johnny Sokko Minis by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Great run of minis on this page, Moog - those three groups of beasties (Ultraman '66, Daiei Yokai and Giant Robo) are my absolute favorite toys from the BearModel camp. Every last one of them is a total gem.
^^ Thanks all . . . i love 'em . . . i think Draculan has a sword or a rapier in the TV show but i suppose that would of been too tricky to pull from the mold (or something).
Entertainment Earth just announced a Sofubi Batman and Joker distributed by Medicom, but the molds are produced by Bear Model, paint by Frenzy
^^^ I really like those! It's always great to me when American characters that my seven-year-old self was as obsessed with as Ultraman are executed in period-style sculpts. Might have to look into the impossibility of finding a pair.
Well since these are Medicom, there is a decent possibility that (1) they could be a pre-order (so relatively easily obtainable), and (2) they might have international order ability (you never know with these licenses though, and these are western characters, so who know how DC stipulated that, if at all).
They are up for pre-order and widely available through Entertainment Earth. EE didn't list any international restriction so It looks pretty wide open. Oddly not on Medicom's site yet though.
^^ those are fun . . . i think Batman's body looks really similar to the Nakajima Tiger Mask figure. A Wrestling version of Batman maybe? I think BM have been involved with quite a few Medicom collabs recently but i know nothing about them. They are all in a very different style to the usual BM sculpts. Does anyone know what the deal is with them? They look more like Manga style figures . . . .
Those are from Medicoms Mazinga Z series. There is a thread dedicated to them here. I don't have any myself, but they sure look amazing, and judging from the Medicom figures that I have been able to score, the quality is just top notch.
No Gavadon, that's not your mother over there: it is the Sugarloaf! Don't be sad, please. It is a beautiful clear blue day just like you! <3
Thanks for the info! Here's my latest BM . . . Alien Bado. Another one i did'nt fully appreciate until i had it in hand . . . i like the way the back of the figure is completely unpainted, which shows off those scales to full effect.

Thanks to the peeps that gave me solid advice about this one I dunno what i was worried about . . . this fella stands just fine. Sellers photos can be very misleading sometimes . . . . Giragindo by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Giragindo by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Another long-time BM want found . . . i love this little geezer, he's about as perfect as sofubi gets in my opinion! Chibull Seijin by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Chibull Seijin by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Chibull Seijin by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
One of the more recent releases for a change . . . google translate says his name is 'Jer Funder'. That sounds wrong to me. Does anyone know the actual English name for this one? The show he's from is 'Go! Godman'. He glows well too Jer Funder by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Jer Funder by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Jer Funder Glow Shot by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Love this one Moog, congrats. I was contemplating getting it, but I don't need a new series starting I think is name is Elephander ?
^^ That sounds more like it . . . i will try to look it up. Its a beauty in-hand. I like the way the tip of his tail has been chewed-off or something. Thanks!
