    Okay. as long as the auction money goes to Hirota Saigansho himself, I have no problem with the auctions. Rich People can own the rares. That is a total different $$$ world that I am not a part of. I just hope this opens him up to his not so rich fans and makes more regular releases.

    I don't know, if the pricing continues to be 800 at lotto, they will all go to the rich people here on out.

    There's a whole world of difference between ¥80,000 and (potentially) ¥800,000!

    I personally can't stand brand or artist names highly visible on toys...it really detracts from the overall aesthetics and reminds me too much of old western vinyl.

    In this case I guess it's release-appropriate since Mad Toyz has been active throughout that time period and maybe is kind of a nod to that time where it was more common?

    It took me a long time to get used to the Secret Base logo plastered on painted fight figs but I'm okay with it now.

    As if my preference is worth two shits :lol:

    I really like the posture of this guy, he's standing up like "what the fuck did you just say about my gorilla buddies!?" Or ... "You paid WHAT for me at auction!?"

    Whoever is buying this as an "investment" is going to have a hard time flipping it

    I hope folks bidding on that king-ju realize that it is MINI and not full sized.
    HxS must be super thrilled now. Whatever he touches turn gold.

    Don't post live auctions. It's poor form. Yes this one is absurd but still. It goes both ways.
