VARAN THE UNBELIEVABLE! :D
Marmit Monster Heaven Edition, one of my favorite figures. I love the sculpt and the colors are amazing.

cool figure you got there! About how tall is it, and do they still make that?

I'll be taking some new Varan pics later today but in the meantime,
here's a look at one of my commissions from 2005.

Not a huge fan of Varan so I'm not going to post a ton of individual pics, so here's my vinyl Varan collection...

Who did the one on the far right with the webbed limbs?

That would be CCP.

Cool... they had another one with Varan "sitting" that i really liked, but have never seen for sale... wouldn't mind seeing some shots of that if anyone has it...


Here's the 25cm X-Plus release... Like i mentioned in that thread, this figure would be perfect if not for the unnecessary and bad seam in the tail

I had the gashapon at one time and despite it being a nice representation of the kaiju, I sold it off in a lot. I'm just not that attached to this particular monster.

I do like that x-plus though. And Legion, in your group pic, the Varan on the lower right with the realistic deco in the crawling pose. What is that?

That's the Y-MSF Varan. I wish I had managed to get one when they were cheap. :/

Legion, can you post more detailed shots of the YMSF figure?

That's the first appearance of trendmasters figure in our spotlight forums. I like the second glow version of that CCP best of the 3 we've seen, I think these spotlights are making me into a CCP fanboy...

Trendmasters deff has a place in our threads. Sometimes you want a McDonnalds cheeseburger instead of something that costs five times more.

Makes me want to get out my VP Varans. I still haven't gotten a parababy. I wish it were easier to find Marmits, I'd like to get a few Parababies sometime soon.
