I believe the first clear version was sold either with pre-inserted inners or empty w/ uncut inners on the backing card. The main difference in the end is that the first version would also have wires in the arms.
I remember watching these being put together at TO and that's exactly what I saw, some with guys inserted and some DIY.
Another Smogun question: Is he a Gargamel original character, or from some obscure patchi kaiju thing?
random kaiju produced by IKB no license tie in with this guy, and this is all 3 of the guts release but there are 4 or 5 differant guts floating around been meaning to take a scan...
here's one of them ikb smoguns next to a bemon hukkokudo makes very nice repros of those ikb smoguns. i think i read somewhere that the original cast has a bad fracture so their won't be a lot more made?
look at the driver/passenger combo in each head they are all differant ones stuffed in, then there are one or two more colorways from the backs of headers
It would be nice if there was a Smogun checklist as well. I made one for Gargamel Dokuroman, Microman and Smoking Corps. HMS and I did one mostly without pics for Thrashman (there is a nlot more of those than you think!) as well.
I understand now. I'd like to see how many variations there are and which variations came with which versions. Why do I feel like my want list is about to expand again hahaha
I made one a while back. Hok ones not included. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39846&hilit=smogun (Plus I just realized I need to add the clear and silvers ones and a bunch of pockets...)
