This just in... Bullmark Belial by Doug Hardy, on Flickr Bullmark Belial by Doug Hardy, on Flickr Bullmark Belial by Doug Hardy, on Flickr Bullmark Belial by Doug Hardy, on Flickr I'm stoked to get this guy and have him next to my Bullmark Ultraman Orb (I have to get more of the Bullmark Heisei Ultras...). The vinyl is a little squishy in comparison to my Orb, so I was a bit surprised about that. He still looks great though!
From Eiji Kaminaga's IG: King Ghidorah Fire Dragon version Limited sales at the Marusan Pop-Up Kaiju Salon shop that is open right now. Also, there was a new Metarica version in the December preorder: The Gappa family Matcha ice cream set also looks like a real treat:
I pre-order that Gappa family set. I'm happy that they reissued it, especially for international pre-order. The original debut paint version prices were selling pretty high. The red King Ghidorah is really nice. Might need to try and get one.
@chimply.kaiju - Anthony, very cool that you picked up the whole Gappa family. I am looking forward to seeing some of your excellent photos of the trio.
Marusan has a new 450-size U-TOM being released: There was a test shot and glow blank in the December preorder as well:
Marusan Toy Company - January 2018 preorders are online, including some new international preorders (add shipping to prices shown below). Due date for ordering is January 15th. Gappa family GID blank Father (¥7,000) and Mother & Son (¥7,000): Guilala 50th Anniversary 350 painted & midsize GID blank set (¥10,000) Giant Gorilla 450 blue GID blank (¥12,000): Booska 450 milky blue/pink mixed parts (¥12,000):
@TattooDougHardy - The size of the rivets on the sculpt are very eye-catching. I'm looking forward to seeing the first test shots. @Sanjeev - Agreed!
View this post on Instagram Finally after a 5 month delay they popped these Hong Kong Goji's out. Also, I don't know if I'm supposed to say this but whatevs. Spring 2018 Marusan mini-fig line based off of popular toho movies. The line is called KAIJYU. Can't wait. They also sent me an envelope full of photo quality prints of some of their line as well as some minifigs i'll post later. Hopefully I can still get in on that GID blue Gorilla.
I just sourced that proto of the Mechagodzilla. Only problem is I just bought a Chroombook for work. I hope they can be cool with a retainer.
@decypher - Awesome to see that DesuGoji tribute 450. Is the vinyl really soft and squishy? Also, are those new Toho minifigs or more micro-sized Marugacha? I'm interested either way. I was also checking the new February pre-orders. The MechaG 450 looks really tempting, but would need to be purchased through a proxy buyer. Available unpainted in beige, GID, and a mystery lottery color. Also, a reissue of the Showa tribute Giant Gorilla 450 and a blue Booska 450 both available to international buyers for 16,000 JPY each + shipping:
I already bought the matcha Booska so I'm waiting for something special. Oh man 3 colorways for the Mecha. Mystery color has my ear but I actually did lock down the prototype and it will have 3 colorways: Beige, GID and mystery. I've never owned anything like that so it should be fun. You're right the mini-figs are smaller more and Gacha style I was told. I dunno if I was drunk but I swore they said there would be gacha booska and the like.
Correction, I only got the clay prototype if the main dude decides too, and he's iffy, cross your fingers cuz the only rare stuff ive ever had wasOG anraku i sold :/ Either way I'll go for the mystery color. Got the blue gid giant and purple blue hedorah. And more More pics

Ugh! I don't care about my "one sculpt/type" rule!!!...blue glow and this marusan blue have been my secret wishlist color bases for Booska. Fuqqin ordered! I'll deal with it somehow.
First Marusan piece copped with the blue Booska. It was too nice not to. I think this is going to be a slippery slope, sorry bank account.
International preorders for March have snuck in, and are due by the 15th: Guilala 350 with two bonus Marugacha - 10,000 JPY + shipping: Booska 450 on GID milky pink vinyl - 16,000 JPY + shipping: Also, I caught a small sneak peek of the first MechaG 450 colors on sofvi.tokyo's front page splash: Spoiler
