You know what, I had M1 figures on my brain last night as I went to sleep lol. It got me thinking though, I think that maybe...being able to appreciate figures like M1, Gigabrains, Marmits and Artstorms are kind of a sign of maturity in a collector. I know when I started collecting I really only wanted Bandai figures, then it moved to X Plus...it's pretty much during this recent run (the last few years) of ultra expensive X Plus figures where I came to the revalization that you really can only have one super detailed figure of your favorite kaiju before it becomes redundant. You can maybe slide by with different scales but really, stuff like M1 figures allows us to collect an almost infinite number of figures.

Plus, there's just something so stylistically great, and Japanese, about these figures. They were designer vinyl before it became hip and trendy.

Now, I'm not saying people should only collect M1s and Marmits ect. But I think having some in your collection deff says something about the collector.

That's just my thoughts anyways.

I can't decide which variant of that figure I like the most :lol:

A bunch of them are pretty similar. They're doing *just slightly* different shades of metallic blue and green with their new releases. I was just glad to get a shot at getting one. :lol:

Well here it is. He weighs in at around 2 lbs. He is pretty. My only complaint aside from the dorsal plate at the base of the tail popping out (I just super glued it back into place) is the fact that the tail WILL FALL OUT if you don't keep your hand under it while picking it up. I'm not about to glue it. Like I said highlights are a little intense but they do a good job of blending colors together, and there are small traces of brown around the creases of his arms/feet/legs. I like the snarl which was something about the 84' suit I liked. Hope these pictures do it for ya.

As far as the seller goes, just make sure you make attempts to communicate with them and document everything in case you get boned and don't get your package. Ebay will cover as one seller told me, he still gave him a negative review.

This is how the seller replies sometimes to his feedback...
