On the recommendation of LASH, applied a rather heavy coat of clear coat to gloss up the Dako. I think it came out looking a lot better... more finished.

I took my Hogan Dako and painted like crazy! The inspiration was the Dako from the flash movies on AnrakuAnsaku's site. I used the flourescent paint that glows in black light. This is still a work in progress, as I am touching up and adding a glossy clear coat. I wasn't in love with this end result, the clear coat was recommended by LASH on skullbrain.org, and I think a glossy surface will really help my opinion of it.

Here's another AnrakuAnsaku! Meet Giant Chiteidako Zoromederu, or Dako as we American guys seem to call him. The name Dako, seen at the end of the word Chiteidako, has something to do with octopus, and you can see that in this figure. And like the Gogamejiras, on www.anrakuansaku.com you can find Flash movies of Dako up to no good as many giant monsters like to do. In these movies, you can see Dako flying around on what appears to be helicopter-like spinning feet, and his tentacles constantly flail about. Also, Dako seems to be able to light up his eyes like flashlights and even shoot what are possibly electrified beams from them. He destroys buildings and airplanes and lives under the sea as any great monster should. Due to the yellow/red color scheme of this particular Dako, I first saw it called the Mustard/Ketchup Dako, but my favorite one is the Hogan Dako. If you know a little about Hulk Hogan, you may remember at a certain point in virtually every Hulk Hogan wrestling match...
