Took some pics of my M1 Sanda & Gaira for greg: P1020746 by Beautification Syndrome, on Flickr P1020748 by Beautification Syndrome, on Flickr P1020747 by Beautification Syndrome, on Flickr I needed to dust them anyhow
wowza that is friggin impressive!!!! I would love to have all these. Thanks so much for posting this.
Awesome pics, Chris...but they beg the question: how do you have one more Gaira than you have Sanda's??? My understanding was that these were ALWAYS sold in sets.
Man, what a beautiful line-up Lixx. That is literally my whole wants list right there. My love for the gargantuan duo remains sadly unfulfilled.
I agree, that sounds so strange (and sad). I hope that maybe there is, somewhere, we just don't know about yet. There just has to be. Yes, I will keep telling myself that.
Those Gargantuas are M1 gold! Nice collection Chris and I'm really friggin jealous! ; ) Yeah it is odd there's no Sanda but the Gaira seems to have been one of a selection of lottery items if I'm reading the blog correctly; http://www.m1go.com/news/info/appendix/i060420.htm
This was a direct mail offer, for every 30,000 yen you spent you would get one random figure from this picture. The toys for sale were the red Hedorahs and the giant size Ultraman and I think a couple other figures, all painted and unpainted versions. I got the Titano bank duo and the purple Gaira. Im still hunting that blue GMK.
Those two GMK figures in the picture are pretty much my two favorite figures ever, but I can't recall seeing either come up for sale in the last couple of years. I've just kind of accepted that I'll never have either. Oh well.
^^^ Thanks for the detailed info Dennis! Talk about creating incentive and building loyalty! I <3 M1!
^ I've never had any desire for those but they do look great doing the conga!! Some recent instagram pics...
I am assuming those are all the same sculpt, i.e. mini MG1s, but what are the two greys with blue spray, are those the ones that came with red or gold painted eyes (and I think the chest might have been different maybe, but of course can't make it out at this angle)? Anyway, beautiful set, I really stand in awe of your Mechagodzilla collection Ian.
Thanks people! I knew I should've taken a photo from the other side, 'after' I put them back on the shelf! Yes Steve, both the same except for the chest* - cheers for posting the pic Chris edit: *and Mecha-cock spray - that sounds so wrong!
Seems like M1 mini mechagodzilla rarely pop up for sale, at least I never see any. Is there a glow variant? Wait I probably could just go over to club tokyo.
Yeah you rarely ever see them by themselves, mostly just in the large set or sometimes in the eggs, but it is definitely one of the more popular minis I think.
