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

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

The wire on the arm isn't thin, so it doesn't flop around.. I think if the wire was frayed a bit that it would be a little cooler looking. And the idea of having wires hanging from the eyes and whatnot would be neat as well.

 

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

I think it looks like an old broken toy. I like it.

It won't happen obviously but if there was an open pre-order I would grab one for myself. Toys that are incredibly difficult to get actually make me want them a little less rather then making me crave them even more.

I think the figure would be awesome with one of his arms half missing and no wires. It was a super good idea to make his arm broken apart, but the wires just don't do any good to me. The head sculpt is phenomenal though, I want one just for that.

 

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

The whole figure looks great! And if it's sturdy wire you could get a real illusion of weight and motion coming out of that arm with certain poses - like it's being flung forward for example.

 

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

I think I'd rather just have the wires coming out and the fist as a separated omake

 

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

I like the dangling hand, looks as if it remains attached by a single tendon.

 

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

I went to this event saturday... In person they are absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunatly I wasn't able to get one as they claim they are only for display but I know the previous night people bought some. That's the benefit of being VIP. Was a great opportunity regardkess and im happy I went.

What was really nice was this King Gorilla!!! Great work all around

 

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

Totally bogus. They hyped it as the debut release of the sculpt then only sold some to VIPs (who didnt need a line ticket, wait in a crazy line OR pay $5 i bet....) on a completely diff day than the actual hyped event?! Laaame.... Pus hype machine keeps on chuggin...

And before ppl pipe in with "its an artists work and they can decide how to sell it however they want": i totally agree but i just think that is lame if thats how it went down.

 

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

I'm not a fan of Pushead's work but this style works so much better on this new figure compared to the previous collaborations he did on the Mecha Ju.

Huge Congrats to cyber_ann for the win! Great to see this go to such a positive member of our community.

Heres a photo via IG, i like this pose a lot

 

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

Rich makes a good point. I didn't take notice to it too much at first and it wouldn't deter me from trying to acquire one of these during that perfect storm. Maybe had there been more than three wires coming from the severed limbs, it could be appease some. Hell, they could have even left the hand off in my opinion and this thing would still kick.

 

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

Yeah the fix could be super easy. Leave the hand unattached, and leave the wires hanging from the stump all frayed, maybe double the amount to thicken them up as well. That would be perfect and look so cool. Use that severed hand as a weapon !

 

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

^^^^^^

I'm done giving you ideas for your figures and others until I start seeing residuals

 

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

Yea I was pretty bummed but that's just the way it is. Really cool in person though maybe one day I'll eventually get one

 

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

Fuck you pay me !

 

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

I feel that this is a bit like the MG2 when I first saw it: the small, thin chain to me just felt out of place (I prefer a more of a chunky one); same goes for those wires, personally I would've preferred another 'regular' arm or as suggested more wires and perhaps a loose hand.

 

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

Same here. I agree with that last sentiment. I got a red/yellow marble Rebel Captain and I'm ecstatic. My first marbled Pus piece.

I uploaded my pics from the show to the following album, including a horrible blurry pic of the Evil Shit.

I love the damaged right knee on this guy.

 

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

oh nice! yea I bought a snotblower and a Marbled Rebel Captain as well. i got the orange and grayish marble

 

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

Nice! Orange/grey was a beauty too. All gone when I got to the front. But everything was gorgeous in that show.

I picked up the captain, a bearbrick and a Pus print.

 

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

yea I'm not a print guy but I'm kicking myself in the ass for not buying at least one or two.... I love that pushed horky set

 

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

Agree... The damaged right knee is fantastic and initially my favorite part of Itamu aside from the head.



I can see how people don't like/hate the arm...but personally, I love it. The fact that the teaser pics for several months was the Pus... head on the MG1 body made it seem like thats what was coming out. Then the full sculpt was revealed and made you re-think what you thought of the figure. I like how some of the wires are fully twisted, where as some were left loose, if that makes sense.

The rust color has a pearl that I can't quite photograph w/ my phone. The blue and olive versions are straight vinyl. Unpainted

 

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

The attention to detail looks very very nice. Thanks for sharing pics guys!

 

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

the darker of the bronze tones when inspecting it up close at the show i noticed was a marbled vinyl. parts of it had a bluish pearl in it, while others a brown/goldish pearl... really reallt subtle marbling on it, i think thats what made it even more bad ass... i think the wires work... they dont look like speaker wires to me, rather than cull aluminum core wiring similar to what would be used on a house. speaker wire would give more strands to look like they go to more control panels... but then the fist would swing around a lot more. I think this solid core wire, even though its only 3, looks like it would hold the fist in place.

 

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

^ ^ ^ That leg is very nice, amazing sculpting there. The brown vinyl really kicks out the details.
