    We'll be headed out to San Francisco for Wondercon this Friday through Sunday (Feb 22-24 at the Moscone Center)...come out and say hi if you're in the area.

    We'll be debuting a couple new things:

    -- Rotofugi Exclusive Radioactive Marnon by Dream Rocket
    -- Rotofugi Exclusive Dorome by Cronic

    Plus we'll have some other previously released exclusives on hand (Clap Monsters Zaran, Dream Rocket Doguma, Cronic Nougaki, etc.)

    Pretty sure I saw Super7 on the exhibitor list too...so it definitely should be worth the trip.

    This is one of those rare times I'm in town during a show like this. Have to make it on Friday. With the S7 exclusive and now the exclusive Dorome, how could I not stop by. thanks Kirby and look forward to meeting you guys.

    Don't have my camera, but the Dorome is very nice. There were two - unpainted mossy flake green and same base painted. The paints are gold,, purple, darker green and aqua blue - so nice. Whitney said they just got in from Japan before the show. The marnon is very nice too. Crazy paint job.

    Same color as the lucky bag Ankoron? The pearl jade green vinyl?

    I think its a little more forest green. It could be the same color, the unpainted did look more jade like.

    I'm going to be at the Con tomorrow. I'll ask Kirby if it's cool to take a pic and post it up.

    The Marnons keep getting better each time. I was picturing this one in my head with the 'Radioactive' color scheme, and was, "Eh, I'll do an unpainted for a change." Mm, the painted looks really, really good- like a cheap t-shirt from the 80s. Dig the forked tongue, too.

    Thanks for posting up the photos.

    Naoki must love the dorome as much as I do. He is churning them out SO fast. They are beautiful though.

    Kirkland, do you have a picture of the unpainted dorome? Is it the exact same as that Jade ankoron from the LBs?

    Thanks for the great photos Kirkland!

    Cronic and Dream Rocket definitely deserve the credit for doing great work on short deadlines.

    I am pretty certain we will have enough to go online later. The Marnon specifically we had to have part of the total shipped so that they would get here for the con so we'll definitely have those...also, on the Dorome it's looking like we'll have some of both versions left for later.

    We won't be back in Chicago until mid next week but we do plan on bringing some of the Marnon and Dorome back with us in luggage so everyone doesn't have to wait too long.

    The unpainted Marnon looks really cool as well...

    so far the green and blueberry look the best to me...

    Any word on what's left? I'm seriously eyeing the unpainted dorome. Got the painted locked up already.
