    It wasn't public but it's still speculation to say that it was drawn straight from the list of people who bought the print. The Green Tyranno was unquestionably drawn from that pool but I don't think anyone outside of Hirota knows for sure regarding the Battle Set.

    I got the battle set and was a poster recipient. I certainly never sent in to win the battle set so I'm not sure how else that could have went down. Granted it is still speculation but I don't think we had a single person speak up that got the battle set and had not tried for the poster. Regardless though, it is what it is. At least H.S. uses a variety of methods to sell his toys.

    i'm pretty out of the loop - what is the average gorilla ju costing? on websites or auctions or whatever

    Yes they're highly flippable and make super trade bait.

    This is from Instinct Tattoo's Instagram. I believe it was a gift, and this pic isn't new so I don't think it's some "up coming release" type thing. From what I understand it was just a gift to him, he's the one who designed the T-Shirt design.

    Amazing! Only thing better would be a version with guts. But nothing beats clear Jp vinyl. Thanks for posting.
