^^ I was assuming the original question was about Mori doing lotteries / blind-bags directly to non-Japanese collectors outside of Japan. I dont think he ever has, has he?
Oh, if that was the question then your answer is correct. I thought the poster was just curious about lotteries and LBs in general.
Thanks for all the information everybody! I was mostly curious because it seems to be a common thing for toy makers to do. Lotteries for specific figures mainly. Also because it seems like the only way to get RxH in the US is through second hand.
^^ second hand or DCON. Used to do a few releases through Lulubell if I remember correctly, but haven't in a long time.
To answer the question, there are no stores in the U.S. that consistently sell RxH at present; there are few even in Japan (and their selection is very limited). Most RxH are sold through his physical store, so you either need to be there, find a friend or pay the secondary market sellers. He posts new releases on his Instagram periodically, @realxhead.
Mori would probably do pretty well if he opened up international orders for his releases, but I respect him for doing it the way he wants to.
View this post on Instagram These are incredible, anyone know if they had sold out?? I've been checking the secondary market stores that usually get a few of his releases but no luck so far.
^^ Being an older sculpt for RxH and not knowing when this version was released makes it hard to answer your question. If the picture is more than a week or two old you can pretty much bet its sold out . . . Unless you live in Japan, or have a friend who lives in Tokyo, the secondary market is your only option. Cyclomagnon is an underrated RxH sculpt, i still love the one i have.
Pics or it didn't happen. Never mind: View this post on Instagram I personally hate the hair/chops but otherwise, it's pretty cool.
Ninja Kappa! (It's actually a kappa. And that's the actual name.) I think it's a brilliant combination that brings together the two halves of the inspirational forces behind RxH, as I have been led to understand them ('90s pop culture and traditional Japanese culture). That said, the figure seems a little gimmicky, sort of like the Space Old Guy Bariban. So I'm not sure how well it nestles into the RxH stable of characters, but it's a fun looking toy.
i figured it was a kappa, mainly from the disc on the head. its odd as it seems like its wearing a mask and that is where the hair/chops come from...least thats my interpertation. it does totally make sense from mori's previously stated influences.
The new head is so amazing, I didn't notice the new body immediately. This really opens up the whole mix-and-match aesthetic with the adult type figures, especially for the more mechanical heads of the past few years (Mohican Trooper, the Guyver-ish one, etc.).
God I need this! I have every early Hone Borg released. I have a Hone Borg tattoo on my arm. I deserve this!
