Got a couple new figures today, but first I forgot to mention a big one (to me) from last week ... I've been trying to complete the (not the reissues) for a long time now. They're hard to find, in part because the differences from the originals are very subtle. A couple weeks ago I saw an ebay auction for a lot of several Gamera HGs. Got a couple HG 2 Guirons, Space Gyaos, Viras and what I thought looked like a complete set of the original HG 1's. Bingo! Now not only do I have the full set, I've got a few spares too.
New stuff:
- This is a real beauty. Great sculpt & great paint job.
Now for the real score:
M1 red Marusan Reissue Godzilla - I've wanted this lottery figure since I first saw it. At the time I got the blue painted flesh GMK Godzilla and the yellow Titanosaurus, but it just didn't work out for me to get this one.
I have to give a big shout out to Bill Stanley for fixing me up with this guy. I buy from lots of people, but for the past 3½ years I've been getting a lot of stuff by ordering through Bill. He's been able to get me a lot of really hard to get stuff (like those 'APES' 1962 & 1967 Kongs, the amazingly hard to find translucent gray MH Hedorah, and probably half of my Marmits & M1s) but I'd written this one off. Big surprise to me when he was able to get it for me, at a really great price. Thanks Bill!
