DEDO

Only For King Zaurus (キングザウルス) Fans - Eleking (エレキング) Mattel Vs Original Version

Sure one of most difficult to find in good conditions cause the horns that are not so baby friendly.

There are so many differences that i can say that are really 2 differnt sculpt, see the photos
to compare the versions. The worst thing is that the horns in 2 versions are very differnt in size
so i can't fix my Eleking that have no horns, using a japan repro :(

Here Mattel Version (photos taken from Web, this toy have horns quite broken)

thanx to a good FB friend, i have some details of Horns

Here Japan Version (very different, dont you think?)

Pigiman + Nobu - ピギーマン + ノブ - from SplatterHouse by Zoomoth

At Wonder Festival 2012 - Winter there was some great sculpt by Japan Artist Zoomoth.
This is Character is taken from SplatterHouse, i think the best Arcade VideoGame ever done.


Pigiman (ピギーマ) and at his feet Nobu (ノブ)

Here the video of all game if you are so lazy  :)
