A girl and her Gaiking

[RSS]

Marty sent in this fantastic family portrait and as she explains "I was maybe one of the few girls who preferred robots and Star Wars toys". This family portrait from her eleventh is proof of this, pictured are Marty, her mom & dad, cat Tiger and "new baby brother" Gaiking.


I'm at a loss for words to describe how awesome I think this is. Marty, I wished you had been my neighbour. Not only because you had a Gaiking but mainly because you dug robots and Star Wars toys.

This is a family after my own heart. I hope my little girl loves robots and stuff too.

I agree. The mom looks like the sweetest woman, the dad looks like he wouldn't take guff from anyone, and Marty's like, "Check it out. Pretty cool, right?"

[Werewolf]

Very cool.

Bet that Kaiju cat would give Gaiking a good scrap. Cool pic.

That is a fantastic photo! As a big Gaiking fan (I still have my childhood Jumbo Gaiking) I heartily approve of her taste in toys. The photo and story reminds me of a friend of my cousin's. She was the only girl we knew that loved playing with superhero, monster and robot toys just like we did. One time when I was visiting my cousin, I met her for the first time when she came over and brought her Shogun Warriors Rodan. First of all, I was floored because I didn't even know Mattel made a Rodan (did he even make it up to Canada?) and secondly, I remember thinking that I thought that she was the coolest girl I'd ever met.
