Fresh outta my inbox, Okuda-san shares a new detail on the Garakutagigas: alternate goggles!

Sunguts x Medicom Toy Project 1/6 Nakira

Posted yesterday on KC... a new version of this Larry Fine-ish garacreature.
This B&W version creeps me out less... a little less....

More shots of the new Bandai Garamon

 

Scratchbuilt mini Garamon

Another great piece of Gara-fan art... this mini scratchbuilt Gary (found here) is superb!

 

From what I can gather, it was featured in a hobby mag at some point... check out the comparison between it and one of Bandai's Gara-minis:

Takahashi inside!

Oh my god... how cool is this?!?!?
Atelier G-1 Garamon kit build-up painted with beauteous B&W tones... and a Minoru Takahashi head under the Gara-mask!!

Found here... GREAT work, love it!

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):

 "BEHOLD, humans!
The engine of your DOOOOOOOM!!"

Beautiful custom work on an Eye Scream 12" Garamon

The pics (from this fantastic modeling blog) speak for themselves:

A couple of subtle, well-executed modifications and a velvety new paint-up... very well worth the work!
Love it!

Bandai Ultra Q 45 Anniversary three-figure set

Bandai is set to release a sweet mini three-figure set commemorating Ultra Q's 45th, featuring Gomess, Pegila and Garamon!

This is by far my fave Bandai take on Garamon- looking really good!

More Garakutagigas!

Wow... do I have a LOT to catch you up on, fellow Garamaniacs! Much new posting to come, I promise... but for now, here's three tasty bits o' news:

Kaiju For Japan was a great success, according to organizer Troy Stith; my thanks again to Troy for organizing this awesome sale, to all of you out there who bought items (especially to YOU, O Buyer Of My Pygmon Custom)!  As of this writing, there are still a few items left in the store, so hurry on over to take a look-see!

M1-GO announced their new bronze colorway standard size Gary today; he'll be an exclusive at SuperFest 56 this coming weekend:

East earthquake upon, I thought it might be a little work, all amounts are in nominal sales of this product donated to Ultraman Fund. Cooperation of everybody, thank you.

Finally... GARAKUTAGIGAS!!!
An amazing piece of news from Herr Alex Wald, which I was hit with today upon logging into the blog... here's the comment posted by AW on this post, from last April:

Tomorrow will be one year from the date of your original post. I wouldn't want you to think I've been sitting on my thumbs...what thumbs? Watch for an imminent announcement of a heart-stoppingly beautiful vinyl rendition of above-mentioned Junk Giant from the goodly folks at Atelier G-1. I shit you not. 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!?!?!
Good gawd...
So, I went right to Atelier G-1's blog... sure enough, he'll be posting pics of the finished model soon, with plans to have the vinyl ready for Summer WonderFest!
HUGE CONGRATS, Alex, and HUGE THANKS, Okuda-San!
Please, both of you, check in here and give us more insight on this, when you can!
