KAMINARI APALALA
Kaminari (or God Roar) is the latest Apalala release and he is ripping across the steamy Mesa landscape. Featuring a sparkly silver base vinyl, a perfect storm of colors have come together as peacock green, magenta, light blue candy, purple and black sprays contour his menacing silhouette. Handpainted detailing finishes him off and brings him to life. All done by Mesa AZ superstar, DSKI ONE, these will be sold exclusively on the Lulubell Toys website Wednesday, May 9th at 10 am Pacific Time. Made in Japan. Not intended for children under 14 years old. $150.00 each.

A Notable Moment in American Kaiju?

Paul Kaiju just sent an update this morning that his collab SEAGOOL piece with Luke of Lulubell is now being sold via Medicom (in Japan) as an exclusive. Apparently this piece was made by Paul Kaiju and painted by Luke. I am really not a kaiju expert so I don't know if American kaiju has been exported to Japan before (and to be fair, I don't even know if Paul physically makes these pieces on American soil)... but it's worth mentioning in that it seems American kaiju artists are being recognized by Japanese companies to the point that they'll go to the trouble of importing the American-designed toys.
Kaiju nerds, is this a common practice? First I've heard of it.
