    Am I the only one who agrees with Uber on this? NOTHING against Nag or the artists involved (I actually really like Joel's work) but the fact that the brand has mainly been defined by US artists makes it's presence in this thread something that I think is fair to discuss (and yes I would consider NagNagNag, Bemon et cetera brands, I can't see how they're not brands, they all have a pretty specific identity and they sell toys).

    Gargamel has a boat load of stuff designed by Americans. Not just a few either, lots of their stuff, and not just paint schemes or colabs but sculpts and characters and everything. Should they move?

    Have to disagree with this. We (Americans) are not making the toy, painting the toy. We design packaging that's printed in Japan.. That doesn't make it an American toy.

    I actually buy all of my toys based on who the header art is by. That's really all I'm concerned with. :?

    they had a boatload of US artists. and before that a boatload of Secret Base sculpts, fight figures, eventually the Zag.
    the point is they have a LOT of sculpts. Nag is this one and it is boring me, an excess of hype with minimal substance.

    if he shits brilliance- pics or it didn't happen. all the nag art was made by other people, good for them. if he has so many brilliant ideas, i'd wish they'd come to light. the steamroller of media that is this one toy is annoying and boring.

    Hey, wassup, uberboy? Shig didn't claim to be brilliant. He just created this Nag figure which got everyone excited. And I thought all these collab were great.

    The hype was created right on this thread by all of us. And IT WAS TAPERING OFF UNTILL YOU FREAKING STARTED IT ALL OVER AGAIN, THANK YOU :!:

    Yeah, that's why I was asked to fuel the fire. The hype has been meticulously planned since the beginning.

    ANCIENT ALIENS!

    So there needs to be a constant flow of other sculpts to make 1 sculpt interesting?

    To pin the hype on the toy and maker isn't fair. Also I'd say there's lots of substance. You may not want to see it because of all the bullshit (I understand that) but I'd say it's not fair to write it off because of the hype.

    Put the hype aside, look at the toy, forget there's even an internet, just the figure. Who care's about the bullshit? Forget it. Just look at the toy, no preconceived notions, just a chunk of vinyl with paint. If you still aren't into it, then it's just the way it is. But to judge it based on idiots who pay $1500+ or on people complaining all the time isn't fair.

    If that's how things worked I'd hate the Star Wars original trilogy films. But I love them. I can look at them without thinking about the prequels and special editions and suckers who throw away constant cash at Lucas for horrible shit. It wouldn't be fair to them to judge them based on outside forces.

    Also, I'm not really viewing this as a "fight" really. I like talking about the toys. I know you've got a lot of passion for toys uber, so I do like talking about it. That's why I love this thread. Put aside all the "whoa man" and BS hype (that is created by the lovers and haters and faker ass hype mongers equally) there's a lot of real excitement and passion. Sure there are some things disguised as passion that aren't, but there is REAL excitement here too. What other thread has people jumping in who dislike the toy to go on and on about it more then the people who truly enjoy it?! The "haters" are the "creators" here! It's awesome!

    For the record, I sought out Shigeru and asked to work with him. I'm not even sure he knew who I was when I first contacted him.

    I've said this before, but i saw photos of the genjin on Joel's flickr page, and asked about it, wanting to get one for my collection. When Joel told me the whole story, which included pointing me to this very thread ages ago, and said they were very difficult to get, I emailed Shigeru about possibly trading original art for a toy. He asked me to design packaging instead, and here we all are.
