That 2nd version of Mecha Gorilla Ju is so sweet! Beats all previous Ju's. The brown/blue highlights along with the menacing red eyes/ green belt work well on this figure. I can only look from afar though because 2nd hand prices are just way too much I'm sure.
That's amazing! The brown vinyl with the metallic blue spray on that 2nd Mecha-Gorilla is just perfect. Congratulations!
The brown vinyl w/gid missle is the 3rd release. First release mail order from Saigansho. Orange middle. Second release. Red middle.
pachi summit version? the must be an alternative secret pachi summit then. i think pachi summit wouldn't be in such a sad state now compared to its glory years if there are heavy hitters like this being release these days.
That's the info the seller posted for this second version. The auction went up the day after Pachi Summit was held on June 19. The seller clearly stated it was a lotto exclusive from Pachi Summit. So if anyone that has more accurate info on this second version or that attended Pachi Summit at Loft Plus One on June 19 can confirm this info it would be appreciated. Thanks.
Man - that brown one is really nice. Favorite of the three released so far. But I think any paint would look good on that sculpt.
Sorry for sounding redundant but congratulations Jared! Glad to see some people are able to get these at cost and not have to pay outrageous flipped prices. Fuck expensive toys!
the lottery info is 100% accurate very very few exist.. unclear as to weather these were actually on hand at the summit or if it was only in the form of info/lottery and winners got it via mail. patiently waiting and hoping for a Black or GID to battle my Jyu.. by the way the pachi version omake are different in 'color moulding' too. >that pic of the new version is really nice! does that missle glow? did it include the soldier? i know there is tons more cool pachi summit stuff in the werKs for next year and hope to travel to Japan to attend in person, with it being 2012 if half of what is talked about is made into vinyl then 2012 will be the best year in kaiju ever. i can no longer care about flippers, its just the way things are and being upset will not change a thing, but i feel ya.
Thanks for the kind words guys! This version did not come with the soldier, but the missile glows! It's also painted a little different from the one in the release pics.
No, there has been no Gorilla-Ju at Pachi summit. He does have a habit of releasing stuff the same day though, so maybe that's it? Also, I am SOOO jelly right now!
No soldier with mine either. My Missile has a red tip (please don't misquote that anywhere) which is different from yours and the release pics. The brown is a rich dark chocolate color and the metallic blue pops off of it, but also fades into it, so nicely.
I really like this Mecha-Gorilla sculpt and colorway--brown vinyl rocks too. Congrats to the winners!
Mecha Gorilla Ju with Tokyo Tower. I prefer the missle or a banzai soldier as the omake. But this guy sure looks cool unpainted.
looks like the tokyo tower is only a prop.. translator says: "Red mechanism gorilla beast The had Tokyo Tower is unrelated."
