    Very strange, just the type I love. Is it a glow? What co. makes it and what's its name? Sorry if I should know this but I haven't seen it before...

    Yes! Please provide more info on this guy... I saw some pics of the prototypes of this series in a Hobby Japan mag, and was dying to find out more... some great design on the other d00ds from that series.

    thanks for the pic!

    My girlfriend bought this at the show, its made by Sakabashira Imiri and produced by Billiken, he is a comic artist for Garo. The monsters name is Pharoahs and this is a GID, its pretty sweet too! Sold out!! How about that for stiff writing.

    This guy rules. I'm glad he came out in another color because I missed the first release. The fact that he's glow was a bonus.

    There are a few other colorways, like GID, metallic black. I regret I was too late found this . They all sold out. :cry:

    I'd like to see pics of the other colors. I've just seen this one and one other.

    So this is an original character from Sakabashira Imiri? Are there other creations in the works (hope so)?

    I like the sculpt and the creepiness / weirdness of it, but something about it (I think it's the triangular skirt type thing) detracts.

    I was cool on this until you posted this colorway. I'd love to have this on my shelf. I was with Banshee on the triangle thing in front, but I got over that, too.

    This is a really cool figure and I'm looking forward to the other releases as well. It looks as though there may be a green release coming as well? Perhaps somebody that attended Superfest could confirm?

    I love Sakabashira's toys. The little one with the airplane wings (PoteDori?) is so cool. He is very good friends with Elegab. They are/were in a band together.
    One of my favorites of his is Burugan...
