Andy...I was pretty pleased with the one-off Nougaki I got in my mixbox...until I just looked at that polka-dot version...I'd trade and pay big for that puppy...good score, you lucky sob...
That HP Bakurasu is truly insane. Really love your pictures that you take too. Awesome new Cronics you have there.
Jeez, that HP is like some insane Bakurasu that spent too much time in Miami in the 80's... seems totally atypical for neo-kaiju but 100% amazing! The pics from the fest never did anything for me but seeing aftermarket pics (especially these) really shows what a crazy piece this is.

...that zyurai is very nice !!! his head reminds me of a fruit ....maybe a sour apple ? btw, what is the closest animal that you can compare a zyurai with ? maybe a vulture ?
Thanks, I was really happy to pick that one up. Any idea where the Ankoron is from? One of the 2008 lucky bag editions of 5, maybe?
The Nougaki was a Rotofugi exclusive and was also available unpainted. The only difference is that in your picture, it looks like the jewel/third eye is missing. Is it?
Thanks for the Ankoron confirm. I bought it in Osaka, but it was loose with no bag or card. Are all 4 slightly different? I think Stealthtank has one, but the paint scheme is a bit different. Antknee - The Nougaki is different from the Rotofugi exclusive. They're both orange based bodies, but the paint app is different. I'm thinking maybe a Pachisami give away??
Love the scores Andy! I'm really stoked to have nabbed one of the Pachisami Zyurais. There were only four (one for you and I and maxaltoman and hiro san).
BTW, about that "jewelless nougaki" the figure is like that on both sides. When I got it, it was in an unopened package, meaning it originally came that way. So, kind of a mysterious release!
