EXCLUSIVE SNEEK PEEK Martin Harris and The Kaiju Monster Invasion

Acclaimed Melbourne artist Martin Harris has granted The Lost Kaiju with a first look at one of his paintings for the upcoming Gallery show simply called The Kaiju Monster Invasion. The show will be taking place at the Harold Golen Gallery in Florida opening December 3, 2008. A handful of talented artists will be showing their recent creations of Kaiju mayhem with the likes of Mark Nagata, Jim Woodring, Dream Rocket and of course Martin Harris!
Martin's painting shown here is titled Kaiju Carnival Ride. Depicted are his famous creatures riding along Kaiju-inspired festival rides. What comes to my mind is Roald Dahl meets Eiji Tsuburaya. You can also check out his other works at http://www.martinharrisart.com/
Please come out and support these outstanding artists and toymakers. There won't be a better place to be this December!

ELEKING and ME or US TOYS Giant Eleking

US Toys Giant Eleking. Limited to 50 pieces and stands just over fifteen inches tall. This is one amazing piece of work. The paint job is immaculate. The figure had come with an oversized backing card and wrapped up nicely with colored strings. Eleking's tail is super long and has ton of articulation which may make him a shelf hog but he's well worth it! The eyelits even rotate. The two other Jumbo sized US Toys figures are the Kanegon's. One standard colored and the other glow. I may be able to score the glow version soon, with a little luck. US Toys a Japanese based company has really become one of most sought after pieces with most toy collectors. Customers who placed orders in the past we'll have your figures shipped out this week, plus we have some extra Marmit and Yamanaya's figures still available. Please email if your interested.

SUPERDOG underdog

Looking for something to do this Labor Day weekend? Look no further then the gallery show of SUPERDOG underdog featuring comic heavyweights Alex Wald and Gene Ha. The show is in the heart of Lincoln Park in Chicago, at the Diane Tanios Gallery.
I'm ready to head out to Minneapolis and had to see this show before the doors closed. The highlights for me were of course Alex Wald and his science fiction madness plus Ultra Monsters, but don't forget the giant kaiju on the wall, your even invited to write around the artwork.(My kind of show) Another favorite of mine is Gene Ha sketches of DC's Batman and Marvel's X-Men. Tony Atkins is also shown with his amazing panels from Star Wars and Aliens pieces. I also picked up a fun zine/comic from Jeff Zwirek about a family and their ADD son. Next time I'll be sure to come opening night. One of my favorite shows of the year. Come out and support these fine hometown artists!

MG5 Glow version

The Lost Kaiju presents MG5 in collaboration with Zollmen. The Glow version of MG5. Only 30 pieces made and happily distributed this time for a US release. The header card has MG5 releasing torpedoes from his nipples, their is also a fake lever on his back for the action but does not actually work. I really like the Frankenberry color on this one. It's the tits!

Yutari Gaimos Wonderfest 2007

Yutari Gaimos from the 2002 UltraSeven series. Yutari Japan Most of the figures are limited in quanity and the quality of the Gaimos is exceptional.
Brilliant paint job. Gaimos head and waist are move-able, which the giant vein or tail? seems to move with the two joints.

CCP SADORA (Masaaki Satake Monsters Collection)

I just scored the CCP Sadora Monster from the Ultra Series Return of Ultraman also known as Ultraman Jack. It came from the vault of the great Alex Wald. The Monster is similar to a garage kit due to the amazing accuracy of the costume. It has several holes around the neck so as the actor portraying Sadora was able to breath in the outfit. It also has what looks to be a zipper on the back of the creature. Beautiful piece comes from the company CCP the Satake Collection.
