FINALLY I'll be able to have a stylized LPG on the shelf. I am loving that blue one with orange spines.

It is a subsidiary of Spiral Studio.

I think you will be happy when the price is announced. Can't say much more at the moment.

Love the sculpt! Glad someone finally did a proper sofubi Legendary G! Not super hot on glitter....might wait for a more standard paint job at a later date.

I think US sofubi collectors will be happy.

LOVING this blue hued one. Really gunning for it.

The 65 shown here is also supposed to be released soon.
For the newly initiated, do you know the approximate size of these?

Well, judging by the old Marmit Monster Heaven sculpts on the back shelf and what I believe is a custom painted Gigabrain Ghidorah to the right (?) they look to be pretty similar in size to those lines so about 9 or 10 inches tall probably.

They are around 10 inches. The 65 is going to be 30cm but the display is a bit smaller.

Thanks! Very curious to see how they handle the distribution. There is something about Mondo's strategy that bothers me and think that another business in the market would be good for the consumer.
