Thanks, Mark. Knew there's this membership thing going but couldn't figure out the rest. Wow Dennis, how cool is that?! I actually bought the Chibira Kun dvd to see more of the Hyaku Mado Building!
u get a blank spiru sejin by signing up for the SK membership. but there are not too many memberships and colour is random, so u get either a white or black. the painted one is beautiful but too bad only a micro few were painted. in all, SK did not disappoint with their take on the mythical spiru sejin, its a nice figure.
interesting stories...both about the hyakumado and the lost episode. I wish the building was still around! Imposed stars are sometimes used for censorship on Japanese tv, so it's possible that the stars on the omake were a (jokey) way of "censoring" the scars that caused the ruckus.
Go for it! I went ahead without knowing for sure how it'll look and feel up close. But I'm really glad I did. The details are just right. Love how the hands are sculpted. The feet are the typical alien pointy shoe look. The vinyl is thick and weighty too. Of course the current bi-pedal kaiju/ alien craze help decide for me too.

Kuromonz...SK seems very quick to ship orders to you. I *really* wish they were the same for me. I also joined this membership....though I'm not sure why. I probably won't see my seijin until 2012 if their track record with me continues. I actually have that exact 4 armed zag. not sure if it's a one off or a secret edition though.
@evilrabbitry- to be honest I haven't been ordering much form SK. I do remember the 4-arm Zag that came with the books took a looong time. But he did tell me that there were problems with the vinyl and he had to re-order. I'm wondering if that's holding up delivery this time round. Having said that I just made payment for 2 figures. Let's see if I get them quick.
This usually gets pulled not long after it's shared but for anyone curious here is that banned episode is all it's dubbed glory.
No problem. I love pretty much everything about that episode and I still can't believe they left it off the official complete Ultra 7 dvd series release awhile back.
I use "savefromnet" to save any youtube videos offline that I would hate to see disappear. Building my own offline netflix as time goes on... http://en.savefrom.net/1-how-to-download-youtube-video/ If anyone has a better tool, please let me know!
