    I am guessing this is a photo taken in a charity shop? Those figures are...um... interesting? Yeah, let's go with that.

    ^ Another early Bear that I pine for! A gloriously crude reduction of the Bullmark biggie, covered in a symphony of simple sprays. Perfection.

    I like how, although 6.5'' tall, the construction is like a mini. Two parts!

    Yeah, this inbetween range is a real winner for Bearmodel. Much as I love the larger guys, and the direction they have went with the line since, I can easily feel a bit of desire for what might have come from this series yet. Really, that is an excellent take on ol' Barry, and is completely different from a character that you actually see done quite a lot, so I really dig it. I toy I can deeply appreciate, and am thrilled to see you picked up.

    Right on, Steve! I have to give credit to Chimply for making me really give it a good second look and want to get it. Love Bear Model!

    Rei, happy to see you grabbed the Baraon. It's one of my favorites. The colors and sculpt is just perfect.

    Uringa from Ultraman Leo by BM

    It took me a long time to score this colorway. It really reminds me of Marmit which is hardly ever a bad thing!
    Loving this guy . . . . .

    I can completely see what you are saying. I see the Marmit connection especially in the paints and colour scheme. The pose and proportions though are all Bearmodel. A very nice combination, congrats on finally landing him Moog!

    Much like Giant Robot, I always thought Uringa had a certain Art Deco style to him. Love that! Nice score!!

    ^^

    Speaking of Sokko . . . .

    I thought i'd never find this one and i'm extremely happy i did. Now i just need to track down the rest of the villians.
    Unusual that Giant Robo here has articulated arms. I dont see that very often on BM mini figures . . . .

    Nice find man. You are right, it is unusual to see such articulation on a mini, if anything there is usually just the waist (and then only primarily because they are molded in two parts to be able to pull them). Love the Sokko guys, and have been meaning to track down a set of them too, but they are becoming a bit harder to find now.

    ^^ Thanks mate. I do see it as a little vinyl jewel :)

    Big thanks to Steve for the heads-up on this one and Skeet for selling it to me . . .
    Its been on my wants list for a loooong time. I always thought of this colourway as the 'Ice Cream Vomit' edition.

    The semi-translucent milky vinyl is a nice contrast to the over the top paintwork and the mismatched eyes complete the look.
    Friggin' eye-popping!

    Woohoo!! Nice one, mate. So happy you were finally able to connect with one of those fellas (haha, and one less Hedo I need to fight for ;) ). I've got to say, he is certainly a stellar figure as I have said before. But I think your photos are the first I have seen of the Unnon version that really do it justice. He looks even better than I imagined. The natural light really lets you see all the fantastic details and showcases the glorious lustre of that milky vinyl, along with the incredible paint depths. As you rightfully pointed out, the blends are just wondrous on him, I love the gold highlights and especially the mismatched eyes. Ice cream version indeed, I totally see it! :) An excellent paint job on a superb sculpt. Really, just an all-around perfect toy; Bearmodel at its very finest. Congrats on finally bringing him home!

    Congrats on the Hedorah Moog !

    Your collection deserved to have this nice addition. The milky vinyl is a great base for this choice of, unconventional, colors. The gold sprays do the real finishing touch on this.
    One of my favourite Hedos for sure.

    Congrats Moog !
    This Hedorah is wonderful, really love the mix painting pink/gold.
    I want the same, but apparently hard to find...
