BLOGS THAT ROCKOmni-Monster

To the list of words I never new existed I can now add "neo-kaiju" which I assume refers to more recent giant Japanese monsters, although I'm not sure exactly white time frame this covers. I found the word over at the Omni-Monster blog which blogger Geozilla describes as "A place to share pictures and information about Japanese vinyl kaiju toys, figures, and collectibles, whether vintage kaiju or neo-kaiju." This stuff is just awesome, and I'm assuming these toys and figures are primarily available in Japan and hard to come by here in the States. I recognize some of the Godzilla and Ultraman characters, but most of these are new to me. Text is in both English and Japanese.

Kaiju Love

This is both disturbing and hilarious. Here is a series of love-themed paintings featuring kaiju (giant Japanese monsters). Thanks to Boing Boing for pointing this out. All I can think is that the artist's sexual awakening happened in an instant, and he was watching Ultraman at the time. These probably aren't safe for work, so proceed with caution.
