All new content across the board, as well as a bonus reprint of Matt's article from issue #1 on Astro-mu. There is a master list and photo essay of every Toho Standard size original Marusan/Bullmark figure plus every reproduction of them that exists. Complete Secret Base fight figure checklist and photogrpahs, the same with RealxHead and Astro-Mu. There is also an interview with Shin from Neighborhood, as well as a selection of the best header and backer card art, and a highlight of the reason so many well known and lesser know collectors got into the game. Plus More!
Yes, the Mook is a triumph! I have just spent the better part of 2 hours gawking at the photographs, and haven't even scratched the surface. It is like a love letter to skullbrainers everywhere; a veritable labor of love.
it's a great mook. pics rule. but the best feature is the intoxicating smell of the book's glue. with every turn of the page the scent wafts out, subtly intoxicating. seriously, you can really smell the glue. it does not affect the enjoyability of the product. an excellent buy!
brian and gang... fucking great work, thanks! alex, why do you not have the subscriber version? everyone should pony up and become subscribers!
I wasn't sure if you were really you. haha does that make sense? You see someone in pictures and then it's weird to go up to them in real life and be like are you......but I will be back soon hopefully and we will meet then! And then all of us in the store can frolic among the toys. ps at any event from here on out, SB name badges! Just like at comic-con, that was nice.
or like uberboy...wear a shirt with your name on it . i didn't get to meet the SoCal crew. who came up....hms and ikka? i was already a bit buzzed when i got there cause i was having dinner with the family and had a few cups of sake with dinner. looks like everyone had a lot of fun.
HA, that was me at comic con going up to everyone I slightly recognized. It's actually a good icebreaker.
