    Good article. Like Yuji, I wonder how they are going to reinforce the legs. The giant Kanegon is filled with fiberglass spray foam.

    Do you know/remember how much the M1go Kanegon was in it's day? I'm wondering how much you're paying a Nag premium here.

    Edit. Nevermind I found the answer on the boards by googling. "M1 Go just announced Giant Kanegon One blue one glow around 1,170 dollars."

    So yeah, a pretty big mark-up on this.

    Such fun. That's a lot of money for the name and some gimmicks, but I'm also the perfect audience for stuff like this.

    i am surprised they aren’t trying to charge more. It’s a nice version of the character, but a hard pass-would rather pick up a cheaper repro of this sculpt.

    When are we going to get a Nag/Supreme team-up for ultimate hype and $$$$$?

    It’s another project that was in the pipeline, like the giant Garamon. Designed by Shigeru-San and finished by Pied Piper. It wouldn’t hurt them to add a little context to the listing.

    It seems like they’re still in the middle of completing the laundry list of dream projects that were being planned by Shigeru-San.

    Something of note here is that if you apply for the lotto, you will be charged about $2K upfront, and might not see that money returned for several months.

    Seems like an open preorder under the guise of lottery

    I dunno. Yes and no. What are they supposed to do? Trash everything that was in the works?

    As far as I’m aware, Shigeru-San was fully invested in these projects seeing the light of day. The real test will be seeing what happens to the NAG group once the well runs dry.

    Did he have immediate family? The stories make him seem like an abrasive personality that would have some trouble keeping relationships.

    Not sure if this is an appropriate question even.

    A mom and several brothers that inherited his copyrights, any stock that was in his possession at the time, as well as his personal collection.

    Shig would have hated those stupid little ai animations of his toys they post to their instagram.

    Nags could be worth a dollar, I still like everything he's put out. Shig has a story that's close to my heart.

    No ones ever going to convince me that Shig was actually involved in that terrible new 3,000 buck Kamen Rider toy.

    I had to go back and look at it for a second to understand the price. I guess because it's about 18" tall? Double breasted overcoats that can fit a mini chihuahua aren't cheap!
