@gatiio I should've clarified, my apologies! Prince Jose is just a close friend of Honda’s. He’s posted blanks and painted releases before they ever show up on YJA and such, and usually hashtags ‘em with Bemon Fiend Club. Still Bemon and Bemon releases! PJ just gets his hands on everything exclusively!
Seems to be an official sixth version. Sold the usual way. Go on, you don't need that savings account anyway!
I’ve never seen kanji for Bemon, and even every Japanese listing I’ve come across uses BEMON exclusively for it. I know ビーモン gets used on Mandarake frequently, but it brings up Bandai Monster toys.
Wonderful, Mark! I had this version at one point, but helped a friend in search of a Bemon Kougai, which in turn helped me with a fun trade. Definitely one of the heavier Kougai I’ve held, as well. And the silver sprays stand out so great over the green vinyl and metallic green sprays.
I finally freed myself of the prison that was 20 years of crippling credit card debt (not toy related). To celebrate, I purchased my first Bemon. It arrived a week or two before my birthday, but I waited for the actual day of my birth to open it. I'm absolutely blown away by this guy. Bemon just absolutely hit different.
Yeah, that’s the first thing I thought when I opened this bad boy! It manages to perfectly be a large toy without being a shelf hog
This shape is just amazing! What bother me on this version is the "lipstick" moutn... Previous versions had finely painted mouth, don't know why he didn't do it this time... But anyway, an amazing toy!
Via Prince Jose, once more, on the ol’ IG fame. That is some of THE best clear purple I’ve ever seen, next to some previous Kumon releases.
Possibly? I know they don’t leave PJ’s collection. Maybe the ones hitting YJA are a new account created by Honda. *shrug* Even if I could afford ‘em I wouldn’t pay those prices anyway, so it’s a misnomer to me. I’m just happy to new Bemon releases.
Honda seems to be very lazy lately... 2 clear unpainted 2 HB, 1 Space Monster that probably took hime less than 2 min to paint...no header... Next time one might have to attach the chain himself to the HB...
Even if he is being lazy I think he’s earned the right. I’d love to see more painted Kougai and 2HB from him, even if just in photos, but these clears are pretty phenomenal. And the “minimally” painted Space Monster looks amazing, as well.
I still need a sea monster and kougai painted by him. Here's to hoping for more of that. But anything new from him is fun to see at this point.
Just came across this beauty that sold recently, so pardon the “SOLD” in the screen shot. According to the listing it’s a thick vinyl paint sample, with GID sludge on its back. Another beautiful, simple version. You just can’t replicate Bemon.
Prince Jose returns with another submission from the Bemon Fiend Club. This is one I’ve never seen before, so if it is brand new, it’d be great to see the return of the Kougai. It’s like the Garamon version tripped and fell into a Crayola box.
@rattanicus @deafmetal Absolutely fantastic!!! Incomparable and inimitable! I hope this is a sign that Honda is contemplating an actual return. Otherwise, seein’ these new paints through his friends and acquaintances is enough for me!
