Dug up this mini Bullmark Ultraman Gigasu. I'd love to see what else is out there vintage wise of this guy so post your pics! Heck post any vintage simians, that might be fun.
This was my first ever kaiju...except mine has dirt and shit on it, and I'll never clean it. It looks so bad ass.
checked out your art on your flikr account futureman, and your shit is amazing. the "needs more salt" painting is tight like tiger. love the old style japanese scroll art retro look with a spin. gigasu looks like its had a fun time.
Thanks for the kind words, fellas! I am glad you like the arts, @vintagevinyl. I call it "neo-sumi-e", because it is certainly not conventional sumi-e painting. However, my love of Chinese brush painting and Japanese sumi-e painting hopefully shows in the things I can create! I bought that Gigasu on YJA, @onibaba5. It came to me in that condition. I found it sort of funny that the owner didn't clean it up at all, but after time I decided this was the best shape I could ask for.
Interesting, I was actually thinking of starting a new thread about the Bullmark Kong I just got, but since he's a vintage simian, I figure this is as good a place as any. It's more plastic-y than I was expecting but still cool. Also got two Bullmark Kong yo-yos to go with it. Now I really need the version without the spinner in the stomach.
Now I'm even MORE intimidated by Scott's collection. I thought he only had that one sweet ass shelf full of rarities.
i picked this up for a friend of mine in japan. he is a huge king kong collector and i hate looking for last minute gifts when i go to visit.
