These were up on the BXH site for a couple of weeks, and I've seen many of them in the collections thread...anywhere in LA that I can find them? any info whatsoever?
I am almost positive there will be any in LA. the only way would be to have a hookup for them in Japan. so far there has only been one run of 30 made so far and they were all different colors. I am sure there will be more to come in the future. I also think the guy that makes them has another figure, there is a flyer or sticker or something that comes with the Bemon that has a picture of the Bemon fighting this other figure and I have heard he is going to eventually make it. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND THEM.
There were only 30 made? I picked one up at BxH in Tokyo, and almost picked up a second... It was hard to decide between colors, but they were a little large to bring two back in my luggage..I thought there were several of each color made... And J lead me to believe it also..hmmm
The official word on the street is only 30 made, there are pictures of all 30 in the bag. All are custom painted. It sounds a little fishy to me as well, as I have 2, Isaac has 2, Frank has 3-4, so that is a bunchover here already. That said, Real Head, blobpus and rumble monsters only make runs of 2-30 pieces, and lots of them make it back over here as well, so maybe so. It is a big figure, and expensive.
bxh tokyo had 6 left after I bought mine.. 3 of them being not the best in colors imo The whole 30 thing just seemed really low for the amount of them I had seen around too..
a second series in three different color vinyls was released this week. Direct from HONDA of Bemon(maker of toy), vinyl colors are red, a light blue, and an olive. when you order, you pick the vinyl color and they pick the paint job. If you lived in japan price is about 75 bucks Also this toy is called KOUGAI KAIJU, the company name is BEMON! all very cool. I think it was 30 more, but I am not sure. I have not gotten a straight answer from anyone on release #s.
I got this one of the second run of Bemons: and I also have a couple more on the way. I am thinking that there was only 30 more made because the poster in the bag looks the same size as the one on the first run.
That image sparked a remembrence.. dug this out of the archive from a show a while back. (isn't that a real head in the background!?)
some early morning web cruising turned up these pics from Madarake info blog (http://www.mandarake.co.jp/information/ ... /07/fko08/) From 'Sofubi Cruiser's blog (http://sofvi.com/news/index.php) (the caption says series 3)
It's amazing the difference colors can make. Right side, Front Row, Red Eyes! Ramos, you're saying Pollution costs around 8000 Yen or so...? Is this first toy for Bemon?
I am saying 80 yen direct in person. all second market stuff has been like 120-190 this is the first bemon toy don't forget about my bemon slide show http://skullbrain.org/bemonslides/
DAMN Databub that first picture you posted is awesome!!!!!!! Those are by far the best ones I have seen. I found that picture of the one on Madarake a long time ago and emailed them about it but they don't have any.
We have orders for 5 of the next release, we have to wait an see if they get fulfilled or not. But we have ordered.
