New Bullmark/ Marusan

My Bondoraa pre-order just landed on my desk.
Can't get any pix at mo but people are in for a treat.
A big blue chunk of fun!

 

Which Bondoraa, the retooled reissue?

 

yes,the larger re-tool.

 

My Bondoraa also just arrived. I was so excited, now I'm incredibly bummed. At what point does individual characteristics of hand painted dolls cross the line to slop? It's right on the beak!!!!

*UPDATE*
A quick email to Marusan and they apologized and offered a replacement no questions asked.

Whoa! Any idea if these are gonna be a DCON his year?

 

I'll ask.

 

Thanks Roger!

This is interesting, Crazy Bump Company (owners of Hakaba Gallery) are taking over Bullmark from Ishizuki-san:

Probably a good thing, as I'm guessing Ishizuki-san is pretty old by now. This will give the production some continuity. Also helpful that they have a physical storefront and webstore.

 

Coverage from https://sofvi.tokyo/241012_marusan/ showing the upcoming Zimella Classic 350 and Dragiras Classic 450 figures:

 

Roguilla and Classic Zimella will be at DesignerCon in small quantities, along with more finger puppets and Marugacha.

 

I hope a pre-order follows soon I don’t think I’ll be able to make it

 

You missed the Roguilla pre-order. It closed on October 7th. There hasn't been a pre-order announced for Classic Zimella, not sure if he will do one.

 

This might sound silly, but I’m so used to seeing Dragiras in beat up condition that I hope they release a weathered version at some point.

 

I missed it too. Where was it posted?

 

Instagram and YouTube (see above) around September 29.

 

Monster Patrol is having a pop-up in a couple weeks and they put Dragiras on the image. What are the odds he will show up on their website after the event ends? I'd really like to have one.

 

I don't know but I'll be posting a video on opening day of DesignerCon as usual.

 

Kaminaga-san's Instagram account has been posting pictures of a few new things but I wanted to highlight this one:

Eiji Kaminga is a gem. Protect him at all costs.

 

Pain. Fomo is hitting hard!

 

Just posted the video of the table plus some pics on my Instagram stories.

 

The Marumon Boshi sold out quickly but Kaminaga-san is talking about doing an open pre-order for them in the near future.
