    It seemed high at first, but with all the molds that had to be made and the time it must take to put just one of these together...Yeah. I'm convinced that IluIlu is a machine.

    Be sure to visit KaijuKorner for Andy's latest writeup + photos on SuperFestivel 68.

    http://kaijukorner.blogspot.com/2015/04/super-festival-68-68.html

    Awesome coverage as always, but there's also some wonderful new information on Ilu Ilu's Techno Loaders along with some great shots of Commander Victor, including a helmet-less one and one with sword in hand. A must see!

    This jumped out at me from the very moment I saw it. I'd drop the cash on that in a second.

    I'm pretty sure he was joking, but Thanks, Andy! I try to be ;)

    But yeah, it definitely merits spreading the word, especially here if no where else.

    There's also this :

    For what it is worth, I think that the signs from Andy's photos were actually mixed up, but can anyone confirm for certain? It seems like the posted sets are the micros and the minis come with the Commader. No biggie, just clarifying for anyone just seeing them. Can we get any confirmation on the overall sizes of the toys? I still am under the impression they are on the smaller scale (say, maybe below standard sized, or around 6-7"), bigger than the Gorillas and other Ilu Ilu figures, but possibly smaller than some people think when seen in person.

    I was just making a joke. There is definitely a lot of uncompensated time that goes into running a blog and covering these events; I'm sure people appreciate the coverage even if we don't always say so.

    Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st

    I was wondering about some of those same questions since part of the Ilu Ilu aesthetic up until now seems to be smaller toys that pack a punch.

    Andy will most likely list the size info, at least, in the upcoming KaijuKorner Techno Loaders breakdown though.

    They're abou seven and a half inches. Here's a pic by Saku_bun that shows it next to the Gorz.

    I'm hoping IluIlu does more figures this size and larger.

    Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st

    Signs were mismatched at one point. Sakaguchi-san put them back in order, but I think it was after I snapped some of the pics. There was a LOT of checking out of the sample figures by just about everyone, so stuff got picked up, played with, and turned around.

    Size is around 7" for Victor and 1.5" or so for the micros. And around .5" for the ultra micro. I'll try to get the Victor focus post up within a few days on my site. So, any other details I have will be there in a bit.

    Nice spotting EVOM! That's taking it to another level.. I wonder if any other secret details like this are to be discovered. Looking forward to Andy's review

    Gorz arm joints are also sculpted with crazy detail. Iru Iru is the man.

    Since I need my kidneys, its time to re-appreciate the details on Gorz.

    Didn't think it was possible to be more in love with this toy. So inspirational - he's unmatched as a toy maker as far as I'm concerned. Truly, astounding. Thanks for the in-depth look, Andy! About the closest I can ever imagine getting to seeing it for real.

    Laser swords, really? Argh, is there anything that this toy doesn't have? If it secretly becomes a jumbo combiner I am going to have to seriously consider taking out a[nother] loan.

    Fuck, how does one open the Commander boxes without destroying them? The slip sleeve is obvious, but the next box is a mystery. Never seen anything like it before. Anyone?
