Lovely, man; just a plain wonderful toy. A gorgeous Gary right up there with the grumpiest of them. The Marmit sculpt doesn't get enough love, in my opinion. Congrats on picking him up! EDIT: Just had to carry this guy over to the next page, because he deserves to be seen. 6_6
Damn, that is sweet. It actually would be really great to have a larger, more 'scale' versions alongside the human figures (not that I want to give everyone ideas, but at this point, I don't think one can really increase the demand for these toys any more). I sure hope these are going to be open to international customers [directly, I mean].
That is a not-ridiculous price for a 14" figure, too. I've been a Giger fan since i was a kid but i've never picked one of these up. I'm too busy spending stupid amounts of money on Tokusatsu stuff . . . . this release is extremely tempting though!
Okay, not to draw attention away from the glory of the big, Big Chap, but there are a heck of a lot of other toys in that pic that are really intriguing. First off, what is that Jamila, and why is he so massive? Is that some kind of new 450 sculpt? Seems a bit odd to be, as he wasn't a Marusan OG, but I also haven't seen a 'giant' Jamila either. Sort of wish he was sporting classic colours, but heck, that seems like a great toy. And does anyone know what that Nio-looking guy is on the top shelf, standing in front of the Flatwoods monster? Crude sculpts of humanoids are exactly my thing, he looks great. And boy, is that Toho version of Pretty Goji so lovely. Ah, the heck with it, just give me the whole shelf, please. I promise to share.
I think Giant Jamila is not out yet officially, wondering what the humanoid on the far right is here?
Ah, wonderful Rei! I have professed my love for this particular sculpt on here in the past, but truly, few vinyl fellas come close. I just love his proportions, the texturing, all of it. I don't understand sometimes how people shell out hundreds to thousands of dollars on some toys, when examples like this are out there for a fraction and barely get a glimpse. I have no doubt if you changed the word 'Marmit' to some particular artist's name, people would be hyping this guy an fighting over him for all he deserves, too. But hey, that's fine, keeps excellent toys affordable. A lovely toy, Rei, congratulations.
Does anyone have info about this set? I think this is the right place to ask since it says MARMIT on the box but I could be way off. Spoiler
@Waterbear UMA = Unidentified Mysterious Animal, the popular term for cryptids in Japan You got Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabra, Flatwoods Monster, the Jackalope, etc. Someone has been selling individual figs from the set on ebay for a while now.
@Waterbear The top photo in the spoiler looks like a standard Gachapon display card with the usual Capsule style folded insert. They look like cool minis . . .
Technically not Marmit, but related: This is the first time that I've seen the original packaging for Wombat Toys' Azarus. Most examples show up loose, and there were only about 20 of these sold. This was the first version from 2006.
I used to have 3 versions of that guy, now I only have the yellow one- My header is different though, black and white xerox style with a wombat on it
