Sort of splurged with this guy on my recent trip to Japan. Got him at Shibuya-Mandarake. Never saw this guy for sale before.
Oh wow, what a sweet score. I am gonna go out on (a very short) limb and say it was totally worth whatever you paid. Part bull, part man, maybe even part bird - but all badass. So cool
Totally agree with you (even though I still don't own any)!! Great score Greg. And yep, they are usually on the (really) expensive side.
This guy absolutely rules. I fully endorse a splurge like this. Ive drooled over these characters since seeing them on Jims Flickr a year or so ago. As people have said though, they dont come cheap. Now that you have one you need the rest of the crew!
Jim has a wonderful collection of them http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/5266537131/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/4905641834/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/4905051491/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/4894888981/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/4894888493/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/4894887825/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/4752399002/in/photostream
now i am totally drooling! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetjimbo/4 ... hotostream they had this dude as well, but couldnt afford both :/
A little off-topic in the Vintage forum, but isn't some kaiju company doing a new line of Triton characters? I could have sworn that I saw a pre-order for Triton himself recently, but can't remember where. Anyone know?
I've seen the Denboku Toriton, which is not really new... You meant that one? Or the bandai one, which is even older.
Gracias Axolotl, but no, I'm thinking of a newer sculpt. I'll keep hunting ... this is going to drive me nuts because I saw it somewhere until about a week ago but can't remember where.
Sorry... havn't seen any new ones. Shicaruna has been doing some nice sculpts of anime characters, may be he's been working on U no T?
Bingo! Apologies Mishka and everyone. Mea culpa. It's a similar-looking manga boy but not Triton. I think I'll go hide now. But thank you Axolotl for resolving my confusion.
