Today at Super Festival 62, one of the coolest things I saw was a set of protos of two upcoming Paul Kaiju figures. The figures, which are being put out by Fig Lab, are called Re-Bootlegs. The reason is their arms and lower half were cast from an old line of 1970s tokusatsu bootlegs, while the head/torso sections are original PK designs. In one word I think the whole concept is AWESOME!

These are some of the figures from the 1970s line of bootlegs. The arms and legs were the same for most of the figures in the line. |

The Re-Bootlegs are about 5" tall and are articulated at the shoulders and waist. |

I'm really looking forward to seeing how line turns out!
