    Saw this on Grumble's blog. Vintage spooky /clunky looks. This is a real winner in my book.

    I dig and at 3 inches tall too. I was thinking it would had been bigger but I think smaller is better with this sculpt.

    This might be the best "North American" kaiju I've seen. So true to a vintage kaiju look, like an old Bullmark. They knocked it out of the park!

    I like the colors on the front.
    Not so much on the back.
    But other than that, it's a great little sculpt.
    Looking forward to future versions.

    I like the front. Wish the back had some texture and different paint.

    ^ Maybe that's because the pic is so huge. Shrink it down to 3 inch and
    I think it will look great, with a little more colors on the tail or something.

    I don't really see the connection between this and mothman at all other than the fact that they both have wings.

    That being said..I kind of like it. Perfect size and really cool head. Paint scheme is a bit muted for my taste but it's definitely a winner.

    I did, but no photos yet. I like it a lot, it very hard vinyl and it has a mean/crazy face. It's very small though, like 6cm.

    ^^ "The colors are way better on him than on pics"

    I was just going to make that same comment. Way richer colors. Congrats!

    Think I'll be ordering one w/in the next week.

    Just went over to GT to finally order this. Sold out. You snooze, you lose. Good for GT though.
