Well, you've seen a few of my drawings of him and he has starred in my fantastic Celga story, so I figure it's time to write about the figure itself. I don't know a lot of the background of this guy, although from what I  have read the figure is actually called KOUGAI KAIJU (something like Pollution Monster... how original) and that the company that maes him is called Bemon. I think Bemon is a bit easier, so until I find something else by the company, I will stick with it. I have had to just piece together information from old message board posts, but I am trying to learn more. This figure is known for its super low production numbers (often 30 or less figures per run) and super crazy paint schemes. Many of the first runs of these were handpainted. With the free flowing sculpt and hand applied paint (that evidently would often be clumpy and textured), the Bemon Pollution Monster has a great do-it-yourself feel and sort of a punk rock feel.  You can see some photos below...

New drawing. This one inspired by the M1Go monsters in suits that I love so much! I wish I knew how to make resin figures of my own - I would try to sculpt this guy out. He would make a cool addition to my shelf I think.

Just trying something a little different. I saw a piece of clip art of a landfill which inspired this drawing style. I wish I knew how to ink properly so i could really get this drawing to pop.
