I tried taking a new picture today, but the light was bad. I'll try again. The volcano hat guy is Kyudora from Captain Ultra. The Captain Ultra kaiju are what really got me hooked on parababies. I think the whale you're taking about is Thunder Gei from Spectraman? Funny thing, I have been holding off on collecting any of the Spectraman parababies because there are a lot of figures, and the prices seemed high. But I broke down just last week and the whale and a few more that will be heading my way soon. Including the infamous Dr Gori. Years ago @bonemask posted some scans from hyper hobby dash 6 of all the Tokusatsu parababies. I refer to that thread often. http://skullbrain.org/bb/index.php?threads/marmit-vinyl-para-baby-complete-checklist.39701/
@blakewest PHENOMENAL!!! . Thank you! Seeing all of those parababies in one place is great, instant database! Thank you too for the Thunder Gei and Volcano hat monster reference, good to know! p.s. just watched Spectreman episode 18, which reminded me of a real exploding whale.... Remastered Blast blasted blubber! Now say that 3 times fast! That was not a good idea! They should've let it stink and let mother nature strip the carcass. Or not be lazy in the first place and just bury it, then dig it up some years later. The skeleton would've been well worth the wait!
@Mr. Humphreys these pix still aren't the best. I need to get lights installed. I also need another case, because I have more in storage. Long term goal is to take good shots of each of these individually a la Club Tokyo.
Goodness gracious me!!! Just saw your parababies, impressive beyond words!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing eye candy @blakewest , truly magnificent!
Yup! That video is very famous, on what not to do! I wonder if he remained an engineer after that fiasco. IMHO, if they could have towed it and sank it in the deep sea, it would provide food for a good 30-50 years, and the skeleton, a home for critters to anchor themselves into. https://www.wired.com/2016/05/get-rid-dead-rotting-whale-beach-hint-dont-blow/ https://www.newsweek.com/four-ways-deal-beached-whale-carcass-872297
