^ It says "Monstock no kaiju" meaning Monstock's kaiju on the right leg. But they also took out where it says "Mescalgon" on the left leg, leaving only "Anraku Ansaku" left... The new guy looks super unfinished, wonder why they put it on display already.
That's great, thanks to everyone for the info! Glad to know a bit more about the history of that figure.
Is it safe to say that the Vader colorway on soft vinyl... ...can almost universally be considered an AA homage? EDIT: Safe to say, not save to say. Eeep.
@toothaction I meant in regards to a sculpt. Does this color count to you guys? I would think something much older would make sense, Star Wars by now is a classic but how old is the Vader colorway?
Well... Of course there have been Vader tributes since '77, but I think AA kind of owns it in our context. I'd be surprised to learn that Rich wasn't going for at least a double tribute with that Berserker. AA pic by lilplatter.
These are DEFINITELY the copies I am looking for, and no amount of Jedi mind fuckery will convince me otherwise!
The giant larvae are indeed the winner for me, just a spectacular (and hefty!) chunk of vinyl. Though, I prefer the delicious yellow 'n rainbow version shown earlier in this thread: http://skullbrain.org/bb/index.php?threads/anraku-ansaku.50203/page-31#post-902045
Say huh to the what? You talkin' about poop and pee? I just peed myself just because it feels good, not because of the Mothra larvae. That being said....why not release brown and yellow together? They go together like peas and carrots. AA+Mothra+piss/shit colorways= EPIC WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at the fuck tooth on this guy! Vinyl color is the most unique I've ever seen in person. Its a very bright purple. Tail joint isn't the tightest. He's also pretty long and will be a pain to display. But I'm pleasantly surprised with him and not complaining, he's alot of fun. I guess he's a fantasy type dragon and the other is asian influenced? Anyone else get one? View this post on Instagram
So the Mothras aren't available for direct preorder overseas...? Rakuten and cj mart say Japan only. But all the other Toho/Goji releases have been international? Might be just a mistake I guess.
@Hastur I believe he's referring to how the vast majority of Medicom's Godzilla Vinyl Wars line was made available to the US, rather than comparing the license issue to the availability of AA's original creations.
