My sympathies on the car payment. Ouch.GATOS Y VATOS posted:@failson Dude! Dude to you as well, that's a LuLu right there! Man, just glad we can make Nari a bit happy. A tiny return for the joy his monsters bring. Also he tweeted that his sales, and Disc-Kappa redemptions are up, most notably in Japan! I'm glad he's getting the attention. I'm still obsessing over Yoshi's sofubi. He did a redesign of Iris from Gamera 3, too, that's in the link, and also gorgeous: https://twitter.com/tuiteruyo/status/1529005475429175297?cxt=HHwWgsCq6Z-Yj7gqAAAA

Any idea how often M1 does releases of the trycycles? I'd love a Godzilla one, but they're pretty steep on ebay when they do pop up. I've been super tickled by these, so I may wind up just saving and biting the bullet...

Look around during conventions. I believe 5 Points Festival in NYC and Designercon in Anaheim they should be attending. Also: Nari is going to delay the new pterodactyl because the paint masks are going to be expensive and time consuming to make. He’s put up a poll on what color Tunnelon to make next. 1: Pastel Pink, 2: Pastel Yellow, 3: Sky Blue https://twitter.com/elegab_jp/status/1530080975622918145?s=21&t=xPIbLb4HolpUAGTAKr-EzA

Hey I completely forgot about something- The Collect All Monsters gang has a Facebook marketplace where members buy sell and trade sofubi. It's by invite only so DM me your facebook page and I'll friend you on it and I'll send an invite. It's heavy on X Plus items but also plenty of other great makers.

Sofubi adjacent question, but does anyone know of any sort of guide / encyclopedia (hopefully in English) for Godzilla / Toho monsters? Possibly one that includes Ultraman too.

Heads up for anyone in the LA area: Monsterpalooza is this weekend and M1 is going to be there as usual- They usually have trikes and such at their booth, but you gotta get there early as a lot of those desirable items sell out quickly. http://www.monsterpalooza.com/spring/artists.html The Ultraman kaiju list that's good is the Ultra fandom wiki Gojipedia is the best for english kaiju listings https://godzilla.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page

Soooo many cool shows out west; I'm going to have to save up and hit one of them eventually. Thanks for the links! I just watched Godzilla vs Hedorah last night and started trying to put names and monsters together for some of the less iconic ones. As an aside, I need a sofubi of flying crescent shaped Godzilla. That got an IRL LOL out of me.

Oh the flying Goji? A couple companies make them and they are desirable so $$ of course. I haven’t been able to find one in a long time but I’m not actively looking either

One that's of this? http://basementrejects.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/godzilla-vs-hedorah-movie-review-godzilla-flying-atomic-break-kaiju.jpg That would be awesome. I got such a laugh out of that. It was so unexpected!

Trikes and sandworms, and me on the opposite coast. Bummer. Shimomoku released 'Bell' via a US seller, and it arrived yesterday.   (I love the li'l chilling figure on the bottom right). Of course, as soon as it arrived, I see it's going to be made in a purple/blue colorway in the future...

Man, that is wild! Betcha that mold cost a bundle. Been fascinated lately with an Instagram account: Kaiju Canvas https://www.instagram.com/p/CeaNdRHr-Kw/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= I don't know who's behind it, and they don't credit the artists, but whoever it is, they're good.

Been rearranging shelves as I unpack more action figures, so I've got some updated collection pics. This is a temporary home until I can get some sort of display cabinet or something dedicated to the sofubi.    The only things that are new are the blank yellow Super7 Wing Kong, the M1 Ultraman on bike, and the clear green Max Toy Co. Drazoran. Edit: Also, that's a pretty bitchin' instagram account. I love seeing all the different takes on the same sculpt(s). 2nd Edit: Gatos, given the choice, do you think that you would get the X-Plus Godzilla or Onigiri? Both would be sweet centerpieces.

I was poking around Strange Cat Toys site and found that these these also exist from Grape Brain: https://www.strangecattoys.com/products/shigokuneko-onigiri-gatcha-by-grape-brain?_pos=2&_sid=d6f6a2dec&_ss=r&variant=42666398744835 I'm not huge on blind boxes, but those are fun.

These guys just landed from Mandarake!  I had been eyeballing a Marmit Desugoji Godzilla for months, but they are super spendy. Ran across these Marusan 1989 Biogoji, liked it just as much. Cobra Man is a vintage Bandai mini from Kamen Rider. I know nothing about the character, but found him quite charming.
