@chimply.kaiju - Thank you for posting all those updates, Anthony. There must be some huge delays at the factories. I also just got word that a few of my preorders from last summer recently shipped. New video for March releases in Japan along with some cool news that @decypher hinted at already: TOHO KAIJYU marugacha!
My order of the Marusan Diorama pieces came in the mail today. Holy Toledo, I knew in my head they were going to be big but DAMN! I grabbed the King Negora I have in my work station to show scale. Marusan Diorama Pieces by Doug Hardy, on Flickr
@TattooDougHardy - Nice, those oil tanks are much larger than I expected! Are you going to paint all these pieces up?
@deafmetal absolutely I am! The power tower is painted silver but the others are unpainted vinyl . I am already looking up good photos of the Tokyo Tower to figure the exact red/white ratio haha Edit: I think why I'm so surprised at the size is because I think I saw the oil tanks at SuperFestival last April but they were next to 450 series figures. I didn't think of the size difference.
Pulling this image from Anthony's post on the previous page: I really like the colors on this Peguila, especially the vinyl. Having seen an Argentinian bootleg before, I find this to be a really fun tribute. Wish I had one of these on the way along with the Gappa family. I will be stoked to see that Ghost KingGoji arrive soon though!
Wonderful blend of surfaces on that Peguila; it's very subtle how the blank vinyl is a hair less reflective than the shiny paint. Thoughtful artistry at work.
Marusan Ghost Classic Godzilla 450 Spoiler Translucent and super-squishy PVC vinyl. KingGoji in the iceberg!
Mixed up the two Garamons that I picked up from @pollard_hunter a couple of weeks back - results were better than expected View this post on Instagram

Those painted gatcha are very hard to get. Also at the Pop Up were 4 exclusives only to this Pop Up. 2 metallic paint Gigans which you could buy. 2 Hedorah pre-orders. 3 of them were advertised before the Pop Up. But 1 of those Hedorah's was secret color sale. Anyone that pre-order the Gappa, they are rolling out. Received mine last week from Marusan.
@chimply.kaiju - Anthony, the Gappa family looks great. Love the mix of colors between the vinyl and paints.
These look great especially the hedorahs, I need that golden ape lol.

@decypher - It doubles because they are just 2 awesome to post just once! Great stuff. I am waiting on that Peguira and some King Joes.
@decypher - Nice mail day! Glad to see you picked up one of those Peguila. Thank you for posting the photos. A few new releases from Bullmark shipping in April:
This isn't new by any stretch, but it's new to me. A gift from a friend during my visit to Japan! One of THE best Gamera toys out there. Period.
more 450-size madness coming from Marusan for the next Super Festival: View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram
Personal taste is such a funny thing (and why it’s a pointless waste of energy to hate). Gamera’s 1 of my favorite dai kaiju, and altho this fella is beautifully executed, it’s actually one of my least favorite Gamera toys. But that’s awesome you dig it so much, Robert. It’s a Very nice gift and excellent image capture as always!
Such a lovely color treatment for this set - and arrived in perfect time for some warmer weather here in NYC! Can't begin to count how many times these guys fell like dominos with the wind...
I like the new Mecha Gorilla. Its like Mechani Kong and Mecha Godzilla had a baby. I can see wanting to add it to my small collection of vinyl gorillas.
Agreed, the combination of the metal fists and the gun/launcher toes are really fun. I also like how the new sculpt looks overall.
