Musings of an Inkd Geek

A few weeks ago I was browsing on YouTube and came across a review of this Chibimaru model kit of Biollante. I've seen a few Godzilla ones, as well as a King Ghidorah, and thought they were cute, so when I realized they had made a Biollante, I decided to seek one out. It was released late last year, but Big Bad Toy Store still had it in stock, so I purchased it there.
