That's cool to hear. This is one of those pieces that I find really intriguing, but think I'll have to see it in person before making my mind up about it.
^^^ Nice! . . . that's Bear Model right? . . . i need to find one of those! speaking of Bear Model: The Simians by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Bearmodel, indeed! Kumo Kaiju, the spider monster. Easily my favorite toy in my collection right now. Easily the creepiest, too. The toy itself is simply massive - not just tall, but bulky/heavy as well. Definitely one of the larger Bearmodel pieces produced. Full of articulation, too. Unique color combimation on this one - dingy yellow vinyl with brown and grey spray. The grey is an unusual touch, but it definitely compliments this particular toy.
^^^ Yep, on my very long Bear Model wants list . . . Here's two more Bear Model: Fukuro-sage Tanuki by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Garamon by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Vintage Ninja Arashi (mid-size) from the transparent series of heroes. He is pretty yellowed so it is a bit hard to make out on this particular one, but they have cool innards.
Love seeing pics of your ever evolving collection. The tanuki is great and the pink gary is amazing! Thanks for posting.
^^ I love what zollmen did with the eyelids. Instead of just painting the expression, they sculpted the furrowed brow. Very cool.
