@wingnut0 - Thanks to Patrick for letting this go. Came in the mail back on March 1st. One of my favorites.
That rainbow glow Rodan is the only toy I've ever bought twice (because I regretted selling it hastily a long time ago). Seriously best version of that toy (even better than the vintage versions- yeah I said it lol).
Agree Chris. I will go as far to say all the M1 rainbow color version are better than the orginals. Man I need all of those others from your picture Chris, plus the Anguirus.
I am already wondering if I will be following in your footsteps Chris. My favorites of the rainbow group are the Gamera and the Anguirus, but I have yet to see either of them pop up for sale in the past few years.
Also have to chime in to say (once again) how much I love the rainbow versions. Funny how all of us are so smitten with them, even in an ocean of amazing toys from Yuji. I really want to find that ring-toss Gezora some day. I have drooled over Chris' photo lineup of them many a time. Congratulations on the Rodan, Anthony! Always wonderful to see great toys stay within the community.
This is one of my favorite M1 sculpts: Such a great idea to remove the frill from the standard size Bullmark Jirass to convert him back to Godzilla. It feels like the missing link between the smaller vintage figures and the Giant Bullmark..
One of my faves as well. I seriously need more of them (especially the OG colors on right). Here's my only one (old pic): @chimply.kaiju yeah I'll buy it every time if it's M1, glow, and rainbow colors lol. @wingnut0 I haven't been looking too much but things tend to pop up in bunches in this hobby. I'll keep my eyes peeled as I'm always looking for stuff like glow Last Dino and Giant M1 Glow Ultraman
The Gamera rainbow back actually popped on Mandarake last week. I was lucky enough to grab it. Should be arriving any day now.
Oh my good garn Patrick, those shelves!! It is a glorious GID M1 heaven. Colour me very impressed and no small amount envious either. That's fantastic! Congratulations, very smart looking out, can't wait to see them together Anthony.
@wingnut0 , super nice, but you're going to need a radiation exposure badge @Lixx , Chris, those mini glowie Matago, look like ice cream
Gamera landed today. This picture was from an auction from Mandarake of a sample color signed by Yuji. Wish M1 would have release this. Fantastic!
Folks in North America might be interested to know that M1GO will have a booth again at Monsterpalooza in Pasadena, CA, on April 7th-9th. Wish I could make it!
That Namegon mockup is really something, thanks for sharing Anthony! Aw shucks, I would love to have a chance at some local M1 action. It'll be interesting to see what they bring out to the show. Getting back to the toy photos for just a minute, one of my lovely Gairas (yes, I have a Gargantuan obsession...). Unfortunately my shitty camera, combined with the extreme lack of reliable sunlight in this country, can't really do this justice; blank vinyl is hard enough to really capture right. Head on over to the flesh page though for a slightly different view if you are so inclined.
^ Grats, pH! I know that naked fellow has been on your list for ages! So, would you say that you 'Gargantuan interest' is... large?
