I just wrote abo ut Gorilla (ゴリラ) by Buta No Hana (ぶたのはな), and here is his blue brother in arms. Like the pink gorilla, the blue gorilla is a great, playful sculpt with a wild paint job. Header //4.5 out of 5//: Sculpt //5 out of 5//: Paint //4.5 put of 5//: Technically I think the paint is on par with the pink gorilla, but I just don't like the color choices as much. Light blue vinyl with dark blue and green spray. I think the green is a little too conrasty with the blues to be as effective. It works on his face fine, but his legs look a little off because of it. Coolness //5 out of 5//: Value //2 out of 5//: Overall //4.5 out of 5//: Positives: Great paint and color, personality, unique sculpt for a gorilla Negatives: Pricey for its size, color not as nice as the pink gorilla Still most definitely a worthwhile purchase if you can find it!

Many of the monsters made are Ultraman villains and even a few Ultramen. The other series released are these quirky little dinosaurs (and some elusive cavemen) that are like those vinyl toys you may have bought in the drug store or the back aisles of Roses or KMart as a kid. Obviously the Buta No Hana dinos are better quality... and they are significantly smaller. I suppose this figure is Buta No Hana's take on King Kong. Or It may just be a large ape, as it is marketed with their dinosaurs as opposed to their monsters. Whatever it is, it's crude in an endearing way, it's playful... it's fun as Buta No Hana's toys always seem to be. Turtletooth on skullbrain has this to say about the figure: "When Toho came out with their Godzilla vs. King Kong m...
