Kingu Kongu tai Gojira

Those Apes figures are stunning; such nice detail. I picked up a Raymundo version of the 67 Kong from a local shop today.





Also pre-ordered his Mechanical counterpart (w/ bomb belt):


This is the prototype; the final will be painted metallic gray/silver.

 

What local shop in Pasadena, if I might be so rude as to inquire? I'm always looking for places to test my poor impulse control.

 

Take a short drive over Suicide Bridge

and you'll end up in Eagle Rock. I picked up the 67 Kong at Mini-Melt Comics on Colorado Blvd. They still have the 62 version available. They also have a minty boxed Godaikin Voltes V for $1,500.

 

Never been in the Eagle Rock Meltdown, even though it is across from Casa Bianca Pizza PIe - best pizza in the LA area.

 

Eagle Rock is where Harmond hung out with Obama back in the day.

 

MechaniKong arrived; displays well with the '67 Kong.

 

Awesome! I received King Kong Escapes on Netflix today, never got to see it as a kid.

 

Oh man! That glittery Mechani-Kong rules!

I'm going to have to bite the bullet on those. I need both the with belt and the without belt versions and a Kong for them to wrestle.

 

Really excited to have finally found a set of these guys after years of keeping a watchful eye.

 

pardon my ignorance; what's the kanji?
