When I posted the finished shots of my Master Grade RX-78-2 Gundam painted with Monster Kolor, Matt Walker aka Dead Pre$idents asked me if he could display it at the booth he was sharing with Max Toy Co at Winter Wonder Festival in Japan. Monster Kolor paint has been a huge success for Matt, and he is always looking for demonstrations of its use in new and creative ways. My MK on plastic Gundam model fit the bill, and was shipped off to Japan for display at the show. These pics of the booth come courtesy of Kaiju Korner Andy, who has been providing the best English-language coverage of Japanese shows and festivals out there for a couple of years now. Go check out the rest of his extensive WonderFest coverage here. He took a gazillion photos, and there’s more still to be posted.
Here’s a shot of the whole Max Toy Co and Friends booth! My Gundam was in good company. I think it’s giving Max Toy Co’s new micro Kaiju Negora sculpt a bit of a shakedown!
Proper detailed pics of Kaiju Hunters Gary “Heat Death” and Steve “Infernus” as they meet the mysterious No-Mad.

These bad boys were part of veteran Cosmic Squadron painted by Dead Pre$idents for the Kaiju Bazaar show at Doubple Punch. More pics to follow, but here’s a shot of Troopers Gary “Heat Death” and Steve “Infernus” on patrol.
The other members of the squad are not available at the Cosmic Squadron Store!
I’ve been messing around with this guy since I bought him at NYCC, so I wanted to give him some proper coverage. Dead Presidents (Matt Walker) designed a neat vintage style spaceman as a way to combine his love of vinyl toys, tin rayguns, and classic-ey spacemen. The design by Matt was sculpted by Sunguts, a Japanese vinyl designer known for solid sculpts and cute designs, and the result here is fantastic. The Cosmic Squadron has been heating up Japan, and a proper US launch is on the near horizon.
I love the heroic fight figure proportions. The Cosmic Squadron stands about six inches tall with the helmet on, and all the releases so far have been on crystal clear Japanese vinyl.

Got some new toys with some unbelievable paint.
Max Toy Co mini Xam painted by Mark Nagata.
Accompanied by an unpainted white mini Maxx that is just gorgeous!
I also purchased this mind-blowing Toygraph Death Climax UFO Monster Gunhead in yummy flesh vinyl painted by the master, Dead Presidents. Walker pulled out all the stops, and his crazy colors and Monster Kolor paint really shine on this massive beast.
The Guhead is supposed to terrorize Toygraph’s Space Troopers, but Dead Presidents’s new Cosmic Squadron troopers do everything the Space Troopers set out to do better, bigger, and much prettier.
No-mad escapes from the beast’s clutches, lines up the shot his life depends on, and holds his breath!

Painted a second figure with Monster Kolor now, and I’m still trying to decide how I feel about it. I had a rough idea for how I wanted to do this figure, and the main focus was the flaming eye. I got a little carried away picking out little details with different colors, and I think the head came out a bit too busy, diminishing the contrast of the flaming eye.
Also tried out taking photos in the sun today, instead of fighting with indoor fluorescent lighting, so there’s a couple extra shots of the Jet Jaguar, and the three shiniest figures I own. The red one is a Dead Presidents painted RxH Adult Fly Guy from a show a few months back. I have one more DP figure, but he was tucked away on the shelf, and I’ve got another one coming! I love the unique way Dead Presidents works so many colors and loose sprays into his figures. I like to focus on painting all the elements of the sculpt, but DP just works on a whole different level to lay down his colors, and it mystifies me while looking real good.
