lucky find!

Found a red bullmark Gomora from a fellow collector which so happened to have an extra.
B-clubs reissue of the classic Hawaii colors Bullmark mold. Being one of my favorite Ultra-kaijus, just gotta have another of him.

 Standard size which is 9 inches which is my preferred sizing for my vinyls.

Molded in red and painted with some metallic blue highlights and light green.

On the shelf with the bullmark Brown version, the head looks to be looking upwards more for the red version.

Playtoys 50th Anniversary 10" Ultraman

Finally got a Ultraman worthy of my monsters, 25 cm of vinyl goodness.
Released February 2016 by Playtoy HK and comes with superb window box.

After removing from the box, Ultraman came packed with a beautiful insert, resembling some city he's gonna do battle with some kaiju.

Besides the impressive size, this ultraman came with a removeable mask much similar to the vintage bullmark.

The other accessory it came with the henshin device, the beta capsule!

 Here's how the Playtoy Ultraman looks with my monsters.

Neca Burning Godzilla

Neca's rendition of the king of monsters, Godzilla as he appeared against Destroyah.











Neca's Godilla figures boast some nice sculpt work true to show and adding more articulation with ball jointed neck, waist, knees and muilti jointed tail. Swiveled hips, arms, elbows and a moveable jaw.

I can say I feel a tad of heft to the figure, made with solid pvc, the weight is satisfying. 







As for the paint department, the head, fore arms, feet and tip of the tail is molded in regular black plastic.
The body however is molded in orange and painted black, the effect is quite similar to what bandai did awhile back.

The rest of the details like the eyes and teeth are painted in good quality.

Should you get this figure? From the price range and quality of the figure, I would definitely say recommend it, if you feel that the prices for SH monster arts is too high, the Neca route should be an easy alternative if they ever plan to release more monsters.

Goldon

With the 24 hrs delivery, I guess people living in SG will be fatter, just imagine having cheeseburgers, fries and applepie before you sleep.....Pigs....thats what we've become.....cool, im loving it....and worse news, the delivery charges has gone up by 30 cents....well, im not complaining....

Ok, enuff bullshit, look what Ive got not so recently, a standard size ( 9 inches) Bullmark Goldon.

Whats a Goldon u ask?

Heres a brief description....

Appeared in "ULTRAMAN: CHALLENGE TO THE UNDERGROUND" (1967)A Gold -eating monster, Goldon, that lurks around a local mining cave . It was detected as a Moving gold mine which attracted alot greedy miners. Unknown to them it was a Giant Monster.

Looks somewhat like a long neck  Dinosaur, Goldon can travel underground at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, in the episode, there was 2 Goldons one destroyed by the Space patrol team, the other by Ultraman.

 

Doesnt it look like a croissant? Yummy.....  

Yeap, its an Ultraman monster, besides robots and superheroes, im also obsessed with monsters from Ultraman.

 

 

"Thats cool, B1" "Hes yellow like us, B2" " Just as handsome as us, B2"

The Vinyls

Though I love diecast robots, I do love vinyl figures too, since I started collecting Vinyl Monsters from the classic Ultraman series, I started to look for Vinyl Figures from the super robot lines too. Unlike the Ultra-kaijus, Bullmarks, Marmits and Yamanaya has a standard size examples 9 Inch vinyls, and catering to every Ultra-series. But for Mazinger Z and other super robots, the sizes varies from Jumbo( 15 inches or bigger) to gashapon sizes.
I would prefer a standard size like my kaijus.....

Recently picked this guy up, 4 inch vinyl figure of Gyakuten-Oh (逆転王), He comes from the animated series Time Bokan Series Sudden Change Ippatsuman (タイムボカンシリーズ逆転イッパツマン) that aired in Japan from 1982-1983. Well, I may still consider getting the Brave Gokin by CM corp too..

Just in case, I collected vinyls first before I collected robots, here's some of my pics from my collection.

DIGIVOLVE!!!

Last weekend, I got these 2 transfoming beast at a amazing price too. They were at clearance at OG. Yep, only reason that I got em!!

From the Digimon Data Squad cartoon series comes these 2 digivolving digimons. Rizegreymon( left ) and MachGaogamon ( Right). Able to transform into their evolved forms.
RizeGreymon is a perfect or Ultimate level form digimon. Evolves from GeoGreymon. His first appearance is in Digimon Savers episode 13 from Masaru Digisoul that he want to protect everyone. GeoGreymon awaken and turn to RizeGreyon to fight with Garudamon. 
GeoGreymon
 
RizeGreymon


MachGaogamon specializes in speedy "hit-and-run" attacks and is equipped with two jet-boosters on his back which enable him both to fly and to gain incredible speed while attacking. Quite similar to the previous WereGarurumon, though instead of a plain leather belt. Evolves from Gaogamon and is also a Ultimate digimon.
Gaogamon


Machgaogamon

Not too bad on the transforming but they kinda looked deformed in certain ways, other than that, decent posing and sculpting, since they are on sale..the question is Why not? RizeGreymon is a prefered choice though.

Yamanaya Hyperhobby Cyber-Pandon

One of my fave monsters from another Ultraman series ( I think im gonna use this line very often)
Appearing from Ultraseven series Episodes #48 & #49..
The twin headed bird monster named Pandon パンドン.

A hyperhobby magazine mailaway, made by Yamanaya KaijuBox, this standard sized 9" Cyber Pandon holds the eye slugger on his right hand.
Yamanaya also released a Normal Pandon and a Ultraseven without the eyeslugger attached.
Controlled by the evil Ghost Seijins, the monster stands around 40 Meters tall and weighing around 15,000 Tons. 
Design was kinda lingering in my mind, 2 beaks, 1 head
 and lotsa horns to boot ( yep insert your horny jokes here )
In the episode, Pandon was a powerful opponent giving
 Ultraseven a tough time. One of the few monster who disarmed Ultrasevens Eye Slugger from him.
 The TDF squad used their planes and distracted Pandon,
allowing the Ultraseven to retrieve the Eye Slugger and use his boomerang attack
slicing off Pandon's left arm and right leg.

In episode #49, the Ghost Seijins repaired and modified Pandon and deployed him once again.
The result was much the same, Pandon pummeling Ultraseven until TDF once again came to his aid.

 Ultraseven tried his Eye Slugger again but Pandon managed to catch it and tried to use it against him
Ultraseven however controlled the eye slugger back to send it back and simultaneously decapitate Pandon's head, killing him and yes, sometimes 2 heads is not better than 1...lol...

Marmit Monster Heaven Seabozu

Recently I was searching on Ebay for more Ultraman monsters and look what I found. Its one them that I wanted. So I buy my time waiting and watching.... the auction, till it was time.... I won it and it cost me $49 USD for a Marmit 2004 reissue of a 1966 monster.  It was a very happy day for me. Today it finally arrived....Whooo
Before i got it, I saw one at Clarke Quay, which was abit over priced at $170 Sgd. Honestly, I would have shelled out that amount money for it but I guess, I didnt recall that much info on it at that moment.

When I was home I checked out its background and story of the monster. When I was small, i remebered i used a marker or liquid paper to make boney markings onto a lame dinosaur figurine to make myself a Seabozu. Actual colors were white and black, with the white parts supposedly Bone structure, the toy which was the vintage colors, is a silverished blue with gold horns....

Seabozu, that was the name, it doesnt live in the sea though like its named suggested, here's a brief info and pics of the monster:

It was said that Ultraman killed dozens of monsters, rumored that some of  the spirits lingered, a mad priest then gathered all the spirits: Gamora, Baltan, Kemular, to name a few.... and made SEABOZU to revenge thier deaths. This was quite a interesting episode ( Go check The 60s Ultraman shows...  )

...It was suppose to be a hollow boney monster with no eyes, an avenging spirit, Seabozu was a very cool monster, not the usual stomping and destroying of cities, it has a goal, to destroy Ultraman and what it stood for.... this is one cool monster and my lastest addition to my collection.......the hunt is still on......
