New Toy Purchases part 2

[MekaGojira3k]

I decided to pass on the Pilot Ace, and seeing those pics re-enforces my decision. I've been considering the Marusan, not the space titanium version, but I've also been thinking about waiting and trying to find the Monster Heaven. I'm so indecisive. I just wish I knew which was best.

After drooling over Legion's pics of the Marmit Iron Joe figures, I finally got my hands on my own thanks to our very own Mike from ClubTokyo.

These figures are simply amazing in sculpt, paint job, and in size. You really need to see these in person but here are some pictures to give you a taste of how nice these figures are. I really hope I can find the Marmit Iron Joe Anguirus......






EDIT: hmm... apparently the new MZ board doesn't recognize the image links unless they have a .jpg, gif, or tif extension.... I guess you'll have to check out the pics of these 3 baddies from the 70's on my .

By the way, an online friend of mine picked up a 2 custom painted figures of Irys and Death Ghidorah. They look stunning! Space Godzilla & Monster X are the next one on the list to be customized.

Got my first M-1 figure. Megaguirus!
(Thanks to Glow-Nut)
I love this thing so very much. There's very
little else M-1 has done that I've really wanted,
other than this and the GMK Goji. I think it fits
in well enough with my Marmits and my one Marusan and Pilot
Ace figure

No idea about the Iron Joe line, gforever. At least not as far as any Godzilla-related releases are concerned. They're re-releasing the Yog stuff (or are those already out) but just in kit form.

I just wish they'd re-release the Mogera.

Doing a little bit of browsing on Marmit's site gives you a good overview of the kits that have been released, or re-released as is often the case.

It only goes back to the early/middle part of 2006 and it looks like the only Toho kit I can't find pictures of is what I think is the very first one, the 1964 Godzilla. Most of the Iron Joe kits have been re-released at least once and I'm almost positive the 1962 and 1973 Godzilla kits were also very early (2004/05) releases because of how crude they both are:



Arranging the Marmit Toho kits by order deadline shows that as of right now almost everything has been released twice so far. Keep in mind not all of these releases were put out as built-ups.

Hedora - 10/15/06
Gezora - 11/15/06
Ganime - 11/15/06
Kameba - 11/15/06
Mogera - 12/15/06
Gorosaurus - 1/15/07
Megalon - 2/15/07
Gigan - 2/15/07 (though this one ended up being delayed almost a year)
Angilas - 3/15/07
Godzilla 1962 - 3/15/07
Godzilla 1973 - 3/15/07
Megalon - 11/30/07
Angilas - 12/31/07
Heodra - 1/31/08
Gorosaurus - 2/29/08
Gezora - 3/31/08
Kameba - 5/31/08
Ganime - 7/31/08

Assuming I haven't lost anyone by now it's obvious the Gigan (I'm pretty sure 2007 was it's first release) will probably be offered again. The kit I'm most curious about is the Mogera:




Beautiful isn't it? I'm not sure how many times it's been released but I hope I can get another shot at it in built-up form. Looks like one of those be-all, end-all pieces.

To Legion-
I remember the shiny release, but I never gave it a real look till you mentioned its eyes were better. So I browsed through marmit's site and
it does look much better. It's amazing what a paint job that doesn't make it look as thought Minya's eyes are rolling back into his head can do.
