Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Others

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

^ Agreed....very impressive to see he is doing his own molding.While the translation was rough, I got the impression he is grooming a few people to learn the craft and follow in his footsteps. All good news

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Nice pics! Thanks for posting. The omake is very nice

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

The new workshop photos look great. Excited to see what the future brings...if the translation is not jumbled, did he say he was planning on classic monster sculpts?? Curious if it means "Famous Monsters" type toys someday. Either way, still stoked on what he has planned for NYC.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Totally agree exciting news. I LOVE the look of his workshop. The antique cases look great not to mention all the nice figures inside! Classy!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

The workshop looks out of time, all nice and clean. So glad to see a new one spawning instead of one closing for a change.
Now let's hope it will increase his production capacities

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Those display cases Crazy to see all those ju's all in one place!
Anybody know whats up with that white gorilla ju still in plastic? Dont think ive seen that color before

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

finally!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

So awesome!!!^^^^^^

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

I finally managed to properly frame my HxS posters.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

I'm still guilty of having these still in the tubes they were shipped in. We dont really have any off the shelf frames down here to suit these posters so will have to be professionally framed which costs an arm and a leg.

Looking good!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Those look so good framed.

Did you get it done somewhere for a crazy price or did you do these yourself somehow? I want to frame a couple things(including one of these)but even with the standard 50% off Michaels coupon they always want like 400-500 bucks a pop.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Ouch I've been curious about their prices for framing. Damn.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

You can get decent sized prints framed for 200 or less during one of their 50-60% off sales. I have done it many times over the years in the south. They usually do a respectable job as well. Regional prices may vary I guess.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

nice job on those!

I find it good to look for local framers too...that is what I did for my posters and it worked out for a fraction of what Michael's and other charge...sorry, don't want to derail, back to the regular program

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Unless its an odd size or u need a special sized or specific color matte theres no reason to not frame things yourself. Besides brick & mortar stores theres plenty of framing supplie available online, even on amazon. Espeically for posters/prints, if its a $$ original than thats different story

My bad for cont derail and yea def look for mom & pop shops if your gonna pay someone

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

^ I used to go to mom and pop shops in NC, I have found where I'm living now they all want MUCH more than Michael's charges during their big sales. I am all for using local folks...as long as it doesn't cost twice as much.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Glad you like them.
I waited so long because I was sure I couldn't frame them myself (because of the "Japanese" dimensions) and that it would cost me a lot.
I also waited to find the right spot and was still thinking about displaying them as a "trilogy". I didn't want them to be fully exposed to sunlight (as I don't know if the glass of the frame protects them from the UV deterioration...).

But at a local hardware store I found some nice wooden frames (24x32 inches) and I had the mat made professionally.
$60 overall for framing each poster. Way under professional framing around here.

I am quite happy with the result.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Sweet! Just woke up to a email saying I won the 2-headed flesh King. I hope some other board members have the same luck!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Nope

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Wow congrats to the lucky winners! I wonder if that print will come with it?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

^^ It does.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

That print is so awesome! I would love to see a King painted up just like that pupils, and all. Has there been a previous release with the painted pupil before?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

I'm assuming this was a secret sale ? Is this how he's doing sales now ?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju, Mecha Gorilla-ju, & Tyrann

Lotto like the rest Rich. I don't think it up for long.
