Yen to dollars

According to XE.com (remember it for future use!), "49.8957 USD"

So, about fifty bucks.

Google over XE

Google's great, but...why would I want to type so many more letters?

:P

I kinda-sorta like the

I kinda-sorta like the Guilala, but the size/proportions are weird. It's sorta...SD. Which is fine, I guess, but at 15cm, that's kinda annoying. Then again, both Marusan and M1 now have standard sized (9") Guilalas with normal proportions. I should just be happy to be getting new Guilala product at all and shut up, huh? :P

GMK Goji is pretty cool. Definitely better than the Bandai ST.

I'm more interested in the Bagun. For those unaware, he's a "pachi-kaiju", a non-licensed (public domain) character that was featured in a Japanese kaiju artbook back in the day. I think Shikaruna Koubo is taking a crack at this kaiju also...and more famously, Gargamel's "Deathra" mini's are based on this monster.

Incidentally, Marmit's Zagora (Gargamel's "Zagoran") is another public domain pachi-kaiju from this artbook.
