    Finally found a Rainbow Jumenki, 10-headed demon from Kamen Rider. It arrived today with the other new Rainbow Barom 1 demons. The smaller demon can stand alone or be separated at the waist and attached to the top of head. Here's a shitty pic with demon riding:

    and another shitty pic of demon standing:

    and a pic of the Barom 1 demons bugging me to go on a beer run:

    Jumenki rules! Do you know if Rainbow did two color versions of him or just the one?

    Also what show is the guy to the left from again? Thanks for the pics!

    Not sure if there are more versions of Jumenki. Honestly, I had a hard time finding this one and have only seen pics of one other and it looks to be the same color.

    The vinyl on the left of the pic is a PK custom Marmit Black Satan from Ultraman Leo, or Ace? I can't remember right now :oops:

    When did Rainbow create this?
    I remember someone on this board saying that in the show, the ring of faces was live actors. Creepy.

    That custom Satan is Madness.....

    Oh that's intimidating, awesome! I wish they'd do some more color ways though, I want that damn hand (we all do!) The best ones are those earlier ones, wish I was paying attention when they hit.

    Great figures!

    I am in serious negotiations to market and sell "barom inspired" belt buckles...

    Thanks so much, guys. I'm really happy about this one!

    One thing that's starting to bug me about the Rainbow Barom 1 demons is that the newer ones aren't very stable. I'm talking about just walking past the shelf makes the thorn, mole, and octopus dudes wobble and often fall over.
    I had to raise the mole dudes shovel hands so they touch the top of the next shelf just so they don't fall over backwards. Oh well, I still love the sculpts and am really looking forward to the next 2 releases!

    I have noticed the same thing. I am heating mine up a little and giving them a little "adjustment," and then they stand just fine with their arms in whatever position. Feel kind of like a chiropractor. :)

    I've thought about making some adjustments also. Do you use a hairdryer or another method?

    Usually a hair dryer. Or the bathroom heater. Or just hot water. Depending on the amount of adjustment needed. For the Rainbow legs, I have just used hot tap water to soften them up - get them into the proper position to stand with arms in the down position - and then (no matter what the heat source) hit them with cold water.

    Hairdryer or hot water works.
    But some figures are just 'top heavy'.

    I try to put wobblers behind more stable, maybe heavier, figures.
    That way they might rock a bit sometimes (I live in an earthquake zone),
    but they can't try and commit suicide.

    You could try a bit of Blu-tack on their feet.
    It's fairly benign so I don't THINK it would damage the paint (?).
