GMK Baragon





He's back!! After a long absence from Godzilla films, Baragon returned in the 2001 movie Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
Released by Bandai, Baragon was for some reason the rarest figure in the movie collection and is about double the price of any of the others. Baragon also had a movie theater exclusive version cast in a semi-clear orange. He stands close to 6" in hight and 7" in length. This is one of my favorite Bandai sculpts.

The joys of a blind box figure


I'm not really into the whole blind box figure collecting anymore, but sometimes you find a awesome little gem like this.

Bandai Museum Gigan



As you can tell I have a thing for the Bandai Museum collection. This series of figures was produced by X-Plus for the Bandai Museum store in Japan. A total of 9 figures were produced by X-plus, and the rest were not so great repaints of older Bandai sculpts. It become quite a challenge to collect the entire series due to the fact that they were only sold in the Bandai Museum store, and the store closed it's doors soon after the series release. The Gigan is a extremely accurate representation of the monster. Standing close to 10" tall with articulation at the arms, legs, and tail he really shows off what X-Plus can do. Gigan was also one of two figures released in this collection that came boxed and not in a bag with a header card. The only other boxed figure was Baragon whom I will be posting about soon.
