TOYSREVIL-Reviews: Kruzzilla by Ministry of Kongz

"Kruzzilla" is designed and created by Tanin Tumth of Ministry of Kongz - a Thailand, Bangkok based brand - and is an amalgamated creature inspired by King Kong and Thai Mythical Creatures and the DNA of Japanese Kaiju Monsters.

It is with such a backstory, which reminded me of Kruzzilla being a creature of olden times, a somewhat actual "live" warm-blooded mammal rampaging thru the wild, and even on hallowed temple grounds, in distant times past, now extinct but for the memorabilia made to commemorate it's existence.


The piece reviewed here (and manhandled in the video below) is a 4.5" tall Blank Vinyl Edition, featuring 3 points of articulation at both limbs and waist, which is a fun decision, and provides the figure with a quasi-action aesthetic that makes it an effective visual figure, IMHO.

I enjoyed this figure specifically because of it's clean design form without being too overt in it's influences, IMHO. Although I am not too wholly about the colorway possibilities, on one hand being an explosion of the rainbow setting the tone of "fantasy", which is well suited to the form, versus a more simplistic and less complicated palette .. but perhaps I am overthinking it at this early point in toy-time.


The White DIY Vinyl version is currently available to purchase via mok.storenvy.com, priced at US$26, with an additional US$10 shipping worldwide (Buy 2 get 2$ discount / Buy 5 get 1 free), along with other hand-paints, but at different prices. I think this is an interesting piece to own. One of the main appeals to me as well is that this piece teeters on the edge of kaiju, and yet holds certain retro-toy charm of the Asian persuasion. Nice job, Tanin!
