It looked like the Bullpet diecast kaijus.

... and what a thing of beauty it was/is. I saved the pics because the Bullpets are some of my favorites, as you well know.

I think he used resin or sculpy to fashion the body, if I remember correctly. The paint application is absolutely perfect and the figure looks like it belongs in the set. I would love to have a copy of this piece.
Perfect!

There was an old thread about it on TBDX, which I cannot find. If you guys can get a hold of Mark Nagata maybe he can share some info about it. Box:
