Danchira rules. Reminds me of the view from the train. All that's missing is futons and laundry hanging off the balconies.
It is SO delightfully creepy in person... esp. on orangey-flesh vinyl, like the one wingnut grabbed @ FOE. This toy kicks much ass.
That vinyl color looks very 55 Blue. I love the sculpt, definitely one of Nari-san's craziest characters to date and that's saying a lot. I think I'll hold out for the version that's 'just right' for me though.
I was just uploading some old 70's Ken Reid monsters to my flickr and came across this one . . . weirdly similar Creepy Creation 40 by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Wow, the Ken Reid series is amazing Some kids did have very bad dreams So English Kaiju DO exist Do you own the originals ? As for Danchira / Danceera, it looks it's going to be released with a yellow based too !
^^ Nah, they are scans from a comics blog i cleaned up a bit in photoshop. There were a lot of scary comics for kids in the UK during the 70's & 80's which were really grotesque . . . i had loads stacked-up in my parents attic but my dad chucked 'em out years ago Anyway . . . . love the Danchira . . . hope I can score one!
Wow, the unpainteds look really good. Overall I think the yellow painted and the blue unpainted are my choices but still a toss up for which one to go for.
Entered for the Blue unpainted. I love that they are up front about the "imperfection." But I think it only adds to the charm of this amazing toy.
