    I'm having so much fun with his Kaiju Battleground playset. Click through to see both pictures:



    Did anyone here get one of the painted versions?

    Roger, thanks again for sharing these today. They seriously gave me a massive (needed) smile. Even though I have been following, and a big fan, of a lot if Tru-Tek's stuff, I someone totally missed these, and didn't even realise they were micro playsets when I saw other photos. It wasn't until your wonderful post and the description that I became totally enlightened to these, much to the betterment of the world. I am super stoked to see what else might come next. And yes, I wholeheartedly agree 400,000%, some kaiju-themed microplaysets are amazing and have always been a dream of mine. :thumbsup: So thumbs way up to this release. I doubt he could get any licenses - that is definitely not Barry ;) - (and if so, they'd be limited to Japan anyhow), but some totally pachi monsters in island and cityscapes would be so rad.

    Niall revealed today an exciting, extremely exciting, new contender to the fight figure game! Son of Garga - Fink! This is lots of pop - culture references I’m into in one figure: Rat Fink, Frankenstein’s monster, Saturday morning cartoon vibes, and of course fight figures! For as damn good lookin’ as this reveal is, he does state that it’s a work in progress. The KB on the chest, in traditional Fink fashion, stands for Kaijyu Battleground. Which, as Roger mentioned in his initial post, is the name of this particular toy line. I love the toes popping out of the shoes!!! The hands, while only shown in the sketch so far, are very Ggml inspired, though I’m appreciating the bandage wrappings. I can’t wait to see this fighter in vinyl.

    I couldn’t be more stoked for this sculpt. With this guy and Tobys new figure the second wave of fight is really starting to flesh out. Fight figures are not dead and that makes me so happy.
