Super Festival 59

U.S. guys you know I love you in fact everything you guys put out was amazing but can we talk about that sweet gegege no Kitaro yokai fig that sunguts put out. It's beautiful.

 

Anybody have a figure of this? I just went through the KC pictures and didn't see a Beetlar...

 

And also was Atom A selling things at SF? Those Figlab pictures are eye popping!

 

This thing is sick...

whats up with this fig? really has a clockwork orange feel to it.

 

^^ Yeah man . . . Nadsat is the language they speak in the novel by Burgess.

I would love one of these!

 

NT - On Kadomiumtank blog, about 2/3 of the way down the page you should see the Beetlar that is mentioned.

Koool, also found the "angle abby"

 

I dig the phone and camera guy.

 

Still not finding it. Scrolled through those pictures probably 5 times! Are my eyes just failing to find what's staring me right in the face?

 

Thanks for Posting Up Pics, Guys!

Gonna head over to KK now & see what other awesomeness I missed!

 

I love those Shikaruna T28 toys.

 

Totally ... love to see them painted. The monkey dude behind them looks cool too.

 

Thanks, phantom! I'm happy that I'm not in love with the colors.

 

Love the look of the Sunguts Yokai stuff . . .

and this Marmit Nuppeppo looks suitably weird - is this new?
I've never seen it before . . .

HOLY SHIT... a new Garamon vinyl model kit from Billiken... WOW!
Had no idea that was coming...

 

It looks accurate, and BEEFY!

 

Looked like a pretty successful day!

I have no idea why I'm a sucker for these guys, but I need more (obviously) cute in my collection...

 

lulu had a few for sale a while back, i'm sure you know that though right? glad you picked something up. its difficult to try to plan something when most of the releases are kept under wraps.

oh well next time!

 

yeah, that Salmon color is so cool. Looks semi transparent too.

 

Is Superfest 59 the debut for this Sungut's sculpt? Would love more info on it. I know that the body has been used for different releases in the past, but this is the first time I've seen this head scuplt.

 

The head looks inspired by the very old small chalk ware statue of the pearl diver that so many people think is a martian.

 

Some cool releases. It's nice to see rising interest in Japan again. Lot's of new and old talent doing interesting things.
