New Atragon G-K "Set 01A" companion kit to ガラモン release

Not content to release one of the finest resin Gara-masterpieces ever poured, Miyazaki-san at Atragon G-K has completed work on "Set 01A", a sold-separately companion kit to his (very) soon-to-be-released Garamon kit (new header pic is one of his awesome promo shots).

Here's a look at the kit, which features a Garadama base with nameplate, a chunk of tilsonite, alternate appendages, and some... I'm not sure... bonus (?) spikes...



And the box art... for Set 01A:

... and the figure kit itself:

Both kits limited to 100 copies; pre-order closes on 3/20!

CAEx ガラモン

Years ago, Corey A. Edwards bought a Marmit Darkron from me.

Within a few weeks, I began to suffer a seller’s remorse so severe that I got in touch to say that if he ever wanted to part with the toy, he should hit me up first, as I would snatch it back in a heartbeat.  Thereafter, I made a steady annoyance of myself, checking in with him about it every few months, until one day he caved and sold big D back to me. In the box I received, along with the toy, was a hilarious little note “from Darkron”, expressing his distress over my selling him to the “… bad man, who displayed me with much cheaper, inferior vinyls!”

Corey is also a big Garamon fan, has great toy-taste in general, and takes amazing photos.  Here is one of his Garatastic shots, but you really must peruse all of his other offerings.
