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

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

On the homepage it says
Because the number of applicants exceeds the 150 pictures
I was allowed to draw and I do not apologize.
Google translate might be a little bit wobbly but I guess it means it will be a lottery again.
He also says that he will mail the international folks tomorrow.

I think I saw someone on Instagram posting that they won. They were from Japan though. So keeping fingers crossed.
I would also have liked it to be a pre-order so that everyone that wanted the poster would have gotten one.

I take it all back after translating the kanji.....

Oh well!!! Here's hoping!!!

 

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

I missed it altogether and now join the ranks of people who hope it isn't the key to a future release.

 

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

It is a fantastic poster! The artwork and layout on this is superb!

I feel 150 is still not enough for this poster and it will end up being a lottery. Fingers crossed.

 

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

Unfortunately, i think it is THE key for some future by invitation only releases.
At least, that was what he wrote in the notification mail.

 

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

I can also confirm that e-mails for international orders are going out...

As awesome as these toys are, I was even more impressed by this poster. Can't wait to get it framed once it arrives!

 

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

Got an Email!!! It sounds a little crazy but i was more excited about this poster than the last lottery. Can't wait to have this one framed up and on the wall.

Also thinking it will be the MG2 pictured in the poster for the next release.

 

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

Yes, so happy now
Love the poster......

 

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

Dang. No luck here...again. One day.

 

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

I don't have the toys, but I will have the posters
So glad about that !

 

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

Got the email and paid. Just hope I can get selected for a toy now. I learned the hard way after I did not apply to the last poster release simply because I tend not to collect posters. Good luck everyone.

 

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

what do you mean? we have to apply for a poster in order to get a shot at a toy? Im new to Saigansho.

 

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

The 2 releases after the first poster were only offered to those who bought it. After that they were all public again. He stated in the winning emails of this poster there would be a special toy offer as well.

 

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

Yeah, I feel like there's gotta be a good number of people who bought the poster (regardless of whether they liked it or not) just hoping for the chance to win a toy. Which sucks for people that legitimately wanted to win the poster and didn't get chosen.

 

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

Email him and tell him instead of going on about it here. I mean, I'm all for saying what you want and I'm not chastising you guys but his emails public. Pass the complaint to the source.

I like the posters and toys, so I have 0 problems with this situation. If someone IS just buying it for a toy offer, and you JUST want the poster, maybe that winner will sell you the poster for cost?

 

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

. . . because as an old school Japanese manufcturer I'm sure he'll appreciate some random email rant telling him how to run his family business . . . what a fuckin' inspired plan!

 

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

Right, but everyone wants to tell him what to do behind his back and speculate he's getting some crazy cash from these posters as some sort of scheme.

They're just toys/posters, the guy's been doing this forever, he offers both regular public lotto's as well as these poster deals and there could be way worse ways of him doing anything.

 

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

I'm just happy we even have a chance at getting these things now. When the first Gorilla's were sold at Cosmo Knight Alpha most of us didn't even have a chance at getting one. Now you just have to watch the site and send a email...Pretty simple.

I also like collecting prints so this is a win/win situation for me. The art is fantastic and would like to see more companies do releases of this quality of work.

 

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

And honestly it is done with good intentions. He figures that the people who are buying the prints are die hard fans and would make a good pool of people to select from for a toy release. He only did it for one toy release after the print not two.

 

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

Yeah! Who would want advice from a whiney SB toy nerd on how they make or sell their toys?

 

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

I thought the red Tyranno/Yellow Gorilla battle set was only offered to those who ordered the poster as well? It wasn't a public lotto.

Anyway, exactly, good intentions. No evil mustache curling.

 

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

You are correct BloodDrinker6969. The set was only offered to those that submitted for the poster. It was never made public on his blog. I have 5 official photos from HS of the set release on the database. 2 of the photos were made public on HS blog. The other 3 were private and only sent privately in a email to those that were offer to purchase the set, thanks to a winning sb board member for sharing them.

 

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

IMO i think its honestly so very nice to know that HS seems to care about making his produce as good as it can get. No one knew about any offers prior to the confirmation emails so i don't think as many will be flipped but who knows.

anyway this is his produce you either seek or do not seek, speculation is a mute point. actually i do agree with trying to contact any artist anyone admires but if you come off as crass expect nothing in return. how would you react to rude comments?

"APE SHALL NEVER KILL APE!"

"TOY OR DIE! DON'T BE FLIP!"
