Nor'easter Vegetius

CollectionDX and Kaiju Big Battel have introduced the Nor'easter Vegetius. The figure stands 12" tall and is made out of translucent blue glitter soft vinyl by Marmit.  The piece has 5 points of articulation and is limited to 50 pieces.  It retails for $65 and is available exclusively through the CollectionDX shop.

Vegetius is one of the many giant monsters that take part in the Boston-based Kaiju Big Battel, a series of live action-monster wrestling events. He is the most beast-like creature of the Battel and no man or monster can control him around food.

SDCC 2008: Kaiju Big Battel

If you're into wrestling or monsters or wrestling monsters...you obviously had to check out the Kaiju Big Battel booth.  Toy-wise, they had their Vegetius figure available.  Not only did they have the original, but there was also a SDCC Exclusive glow-in-the-dark version.  And tons of shirts and videos.

Vegetius Vinyl Figure

Kaiju Big Battel, the world's only live monster wrestling spectacle, announces the release of its second monster toy (Vegetius), produced in collaboration with Marmit.

You will also be able to pre-order the Vegetius figure at upcoming live Kaiju Big Battel events:

(Bloc Party) + (Kaiju Big Battel)

If the actors in Bloc Party's new video for the song Flux look familiar, it's because they are characters from everyone's favorite monster wrestling league Kaiju Big Battel.  I'm a fan of the band and the video.  What would be great is if they had an actual television channel that played music videos.  What ever happened to that channel?
