Merry Christmas!

Well, well, well... the second half o' the year was rather light on Gara-posting, I know... and lighter than I anticipated on the (photographed and filmed) Garamike activity... but it's been heavy on the busy joy of having a beautiful baby daughter, and basically feeling so very thankful for all the amazing gifts in my life. I sincerely hope that 2012 was a great year for all of you, as well, dear readers!

I'll get back on the Gara-ball in a big way in the new year, so stay tuned; for now, here's an utter gemstone for the holiday, sculpted by the great Atom Gray of Maneki Nekro... this made my Christmas Eve Morning! Amazing, inspring work, Atom!

Bob's Art du Jour: Eggleton painting from Garamania

Bob Eggleton's wonderfully ethereal-yet-truly-Gara-grody portrait from GARAMANIACAL is still available for your home gallery; check it out here.

Blue Flying Squirrel Garamon

The X-Plus "Big Garamon" statue...

... is one of the most badass representations of The Spiny One out there, and one of the best things X-Plus has ever done.  We know this.  Let us take a moment to once again bask in the glory of its hefty, monstrously menacing presence, with this great series of snaps (from here):

The engine of your DOOOOOOOM!!"

Round-up: Interesting Gara-auction pics

Nicely finished build-up of a Volks Orient Hero Jr. garage kit; these shots really highlight the oddly sloped nature of the head sculpt on this one:




Not sure who produces this funky, timid little pre-paint... packaging makes me think it could be X-Plus...?

The Nerdstrom Collection, Pt. 6

Just a perfect day...
Raced Garamon in the park...

PK treatment on a Marmit Semi-Ningen coin bank and a Toygraph Racer Gary.

When Sister Sara first saw the Racer, she said, "I don't know...a car that fits tightly around the lower half of one's body...it just doesn't seem safe."
