Circus Posterus Sofubi

Aren't they also doing stg with s7?

 

i have the test pull of that stingy Jack and its pretty fuckin sweet not gonna lie... and there is some cool paint talk in the works brandt really loves traditional Kaiju stuff so him and I have been talking about what he thinks about diff paint apps and styles

 

They both look like Nightmare Before Christmas rejects. I'll pass.

 

Sofubi... why?

 

hmmmm, of the two, I like Kathie's figure better. fucking clowns. I hate clowns.

 

End of thread.

 

You can polish a turd, dip it in gold and sprinkle it with diamonds... but it's still a turd! Unimaginative fodder by hacks without any redeemable skills or talent.

Now, end of thread

 

I'm sure they can paint...just not make the same toy and call it "sofubi"

 

I disagree

 

It irritates me that people are starting to use Sofubi as a slang term for all Japanese toys. Brandt and Kathie already have "Sofubi" toys, they just weren't made in Japan. Instead of saying they're making "sofubi" figures now, because they like "Kaiju", you should say, they're having their figures made in Japan, because they like Japanese production values. People need to quit trying to put a catchy name on shit, to feed it to the masses. It's not the "Mysterious" East, or some catchy slang, it's language.

That said, I'm using the word sofubi, in my "Internet" handle, but only because I'm painting all soft vinyl. If I was painting wood, I would call it Slipstar's Wooden Extravaganza, or something like that.

 

Yes, it is soft vinyl.

 

God those are fucking awful.

 

it could be worse, at 1st glance I thought the cigar was a middle finger being stuck up and at least his shoes are in proportion... oh fuck wait... clowns ARE supposed to have giant shoes fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck

 

Totally killer circuzzzz punkzzz roool

 

So many people here get bent when a "Western" artist does sofubi. They act like sofubi is made from ancient Japanese tortoise balls. If I had an ounce of talent I would love to do something in sofubi because I like sofubi. And I'm sure Kathie and Brandt do too. Their figures aren't trying to be Kaiju or anything Japanese at all so I don't see what the fuss is all about. So they wanted to have them made in Japan where they do a pretty good job at it. Big deal. If the sofubi-making companies don't mind the business why should anyone else?

 

^^

I can care less if they or anyone wants to have their products produced in Japan or anywhere else. I can also care less about the whole Western Vinyl thing. It was posted in the proper place. I have some "designer vinyl" in my small collection.

My problem is that they lack any imagination and overall their work (dare I call it that) is sub-par, sophomoric and just plain garbage. I'm not a big fan of contemporary pop (surrealist or otherwise) art though, so no big surprise I would dislike these... Sorry, but these are a big fail in my book

 

There wasn't 1 person saying that these don't belong here, all that was said, was these toys are derivative and boring. People aren't afraid to say that a RxH release was shitty. It's not a double standard, most people just think this is a bad release, and are speaking their mind.

 

If they want to make sofubi toys, they should try to make something other than bigger versions of KR minis...

 

I think Skelves would make a great vinyl platform. I can already see it being a sweet figure for customs.

 

RUH ROH!!!

 

If you whacked the head of ANY of the REAL sofubi I collect on that Skelve body it might be cool but it's still the same toys in soft vinyl that they were doing in hard vinyl.
Like some guys have already pointed out, time to do something new... I don't get that whole sticking with the same characters for years but I put it down to "if-it-sells-keep-doing-it." Wouldn't you rather keep evolving?
On the flipside, there will obviously be Skelve and (whatever that is) collectors who will go apeshit over this.
I like how the test pull has a little space on the back with "test pull" and the number.
