Catching up on news from my newest favorite (and now permanently tattooed) kaiju, Toybot Studios posted today about a new test pull of Super7's Mongolion, in translucent jade vinyl.
San Francisco, CA. Thought to be lost in the tomb of Ghengis Khan, the Jade Mongolion Idol was recently discovered. It is believed to have magical powers and it is said that anyone that possesses it will wield the strength of the mighty Ghengis Khan army. It was recently discovered by the famous archeologist Alexander Banned in a remote cave somewhere in the Khentii Mountains in Mongolia earlier this year. This rare artifact is currently on display under glass and heavy security at Super7 in San Francisco, CALIF.
As soon as Mongolion was announced, people were clamoring for an eventual Jade release. Whether this colorway will go into production or not is unknown but damn is it sexy. a little touch of spray to antique and its golden, err.. jaden.
A week ago, I asked you, readers, if ya'll wouldn't mind contributing to a birthday fund so I could purchase the SDCC 2008 Frank Kozik Salary Ika Clear/Money Filled Colorway. Within an hour, 2 sweet, blog-reading sugar daddies dropped the neccesary fundage to make my wish come true.
Salary Ika came in the mail today, and its more awesome than I thought. I also promised pictures...
And its actual US Currency that's shredded, making up the guts of the Salary Ika.
One of my favorite things about Kaiju is that normally each toy will be released in an original colorway, then as popularity increases, more and more interesting colorways appear. I tend to only want one figure, and I'll wait till I see the style I like best and collect. The Super7 Skulletor Mummy boy light blue vinyl, and sprayed to pay homage to He-Man's nemesis: Skeletor; I'm really digging the blue and yellow. He's available for for a right $50 at Super7 store, online and in SF, on the day AFTER my birthday, the 17th of January. I'm normally not a "cute" Kaiju fan, but I like all things Super7 and who can resist a happy mummy?

So my Birthday is coming up next Friday and I was thinking how awesome it would be if all the people glued to my lifestream would Chip In and get me a present. Consider it for the peek I give you into my life. It would really encourage me to give back more, and I'd cherish for ever...
I don't want much, I was actually going to ask for a new harddrive for the ole macbook pro, but I found something more frivolous and awesome: Frank Kozik's SDCC 2008 colorway for Salary Ika, available at rotofugi for 110 bucks. If you read my blog then you know my love for vinyl, my obsession for Kozik, and my fascination with this particular figure.
The colorway is an exclusive SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) 2008 colorway, featuring a clear body stuffed full of shredded money, lightly airbrushed to tint. Salary Ika is part of the Super 7 series, and is produced by InTheYellow.
If you would like to make my Birthday wish come true, please click on the Chip In widget below, or on my sidebar to the right. It will take you to a paypal page where you can send money via paypal, or use your credit card of choice (look for the link on the bottom left of the paypal page). $5 dollars, $10 dollars, $50 any little bit will help. The fund will last till the 16th, which is my birthday. I'll be 23 in case you were wondering.
UPDATE: Thanks to two incredible donations of $60 and $50 from John and Joe respectively - two people I have never met (that I know of) but who have become honorary sugar daddies - I reached my birthday wish in an hour and the Salary Ika is on his way to my grateful arms! You guys rock!
If you wanted to donate, you still can, I could use the money for other things, like web hosting costs, booze, birthday lapdances, Excedrin for my post Blowoff hangover... But I'm truly grateful for all of it. Thanks!
Brian Flynn has been doing amazing things with the Super 7 line, with Stomp being my all-time favorite, and a new colorway is due to drop Saturday, July 25th, at the Super7 store (and at your favorite vinyl distributor). $50 bucks gets you a clear red vinyl Mammoth Kaiju, pissed to hell and spayed in metallic green, black, and gold. Do it.

After the simply unattainable Kozik clockwork orange Ludwig, I have to post something a little bit more in my price range.
Hows about the new colorway for Brian Flynn's Super7 (Snakes of Infinity) Kaiju, (Blood Rage) Squirm? This time, he's a clear rotocast with red accents on his eyes and tentacles with brown painted boots, drops this Saturday online and at the San Fran store for an oh-so-do-able $50.
And while I'm on a kaiju fix, Hero Design Studio got a few new awesome Kaiju For Grownups in:
I'm snatching up the Green Usagi-gon, which would go well with Kozik's newest Kaiju, the Salary Ika I've talked about, finally on sale from wonderwall for ~$80
Oh Hai! I'm Nate and I live in the sometimes beautiful, always exciting, city of Buffalo, NY. I'm not too focused on this blog, but you'll probably end up reading something about Buffalo, my toy obsession, burly bears, club drama, Google Android, and some damn good music. This is my blog. Read it. Cheers.
