    Does anyone know when the alien figures ship and if there are places still selling them?

    ^^ If you mean the reissues by Medicom you would probably be better off asking that question on
    one of the Medicom threads . . .

    Yes, and judging from the incredible popularity of these, and the way things usually go through Medicom, I highly suspect that there was only a certain window of available ordering time. Best bet is to actually find the listing on the Medicom site, for all of the info - I think it will have the most specifics you need. Good luck with it though, they are fantastic figures!

    I was searching through old photos for another thread and found this fine argument for why Marmit rules:

    That is a lovely trio I have coveted in my inner thoughts David. I love the softer tones and sculpting on these Marmits, before getting into the all 'serious' stuff. I know the Mummy especially has haunted me on several occasions, not the least reason of which is I am still waiting to get a toy of him - any toy - from other makers. This was one of those key figures for me that I always wanted the non-existent Bandai version of for my Ultra guys, sorely alongside his Dodongo compatriot - a seemingly glaring omission for such an inclusive (and multi-decade now) line.

    ^ Lovely trio indeed!!! And such a beautiful pic... I have the Gubila unpainted~ when I first saw it I had no idea of the monster, but instantly fell in love with the sculpt.

    This might just be my favorite interpretation of this wonderful, mysterious monster.

    ^ I've made a longtime habit of skipping that fellow, always hoping to land him - in or out of bag - with his travelling partner, Neronga.

    Yeah, he is a lovely one, great buy Rei. While I might dispute this fellas king among plants status with David, he is certainly very princely.

    Here's a reason why Marmit rules:



    I've wanted a Dogu for a long time now, and happened to come across this one. After doing a little research, I concluded that it's the most badass version so I snatched her up.

    Definitely some assbaddery going on up there. All manner of washins and rubbins and jewels and sparklins.

    I wonder what happens when he wakes up.

    Wow, that is indeed a very lovely Dogu. Excellent find Jason! I have not seen that version come up for sale at all, so full props for acting fast on it when you did. A stunner, and I think he/she will look so nice in your colourful vinyl family.

    Man, that Dogu is excellent.
    FYI, the Takara Microman Command 3 (M17X) figure and capsule design was based on the Dogu figurines.
    The Microman figure was released as Galactic Defender (a Mego Micronaut) but without the capsule.

    Sure pricey, but my word, what a lovely paintjob! And a really fantastic duo, a brilliant idea to release these together as a set. Given how popular the Apes toys have become, I guess I can see the pricepoint, but starting off so high already is kind of giving me a churning stomach to consider what the aftermarket on them will be.
