    Love the way the hands look on the body. The sticker art on the shoulders is a nice touch...gives it a nice vintage vibe.
    The Omake are sweet too.

    Fingers Crossed!

    I am guilty of posting but to be fair I actually am just as into the cocobat stuff this comes with as I am the toy. I haven't won a lotto in like 5 years and haven't been able to get near an itamu or anything hxs for a long time. So at this point I'm a little more open to calling attention to myself a bit and seeing if that can help my chances :-/ then again they are just toys and I won't die if I don't have them.

    Your IG post didn't come across like that and considering you've been entering the lotteries for five years with no luck I feel pretty fortunate with my one score this year from Hirota. Having said that, I'm 100% posting something on IG tonight to mock some of the blatant begging.

    Hello everyone I am a new Hirota Saigansho fan. I used to collect sofubi a couple of years ago but left because there was not much vinyl that was my style(I am afraid of kaiju demons). Recently seeing KingKorpse at Dcon in November brought me back to vinyl collecting but I had no idea these gorillas appeared in the sofubi world in the past couple of years... Man did I miss out. I spent a couple of months going through all 151 pages of this thread again and again and again. At first I was disgusted by the crazy hype price but Now I am so hooked, or hypnotized that the prices on yahoo japan and mandarake almost look justifiable... as I said I have Hirota fever, Please do not throw stones, I am not in my right senses. But it is great that Hirota is putting in so much effort trying different methods to identify his true fans from flippers. I will try and enter new lotteries(sorry for adding one more ticket to the lottery but I really like these) of course that is if Hirota Saigansho does accept new people but I promise I will not to flip.:thumbsup: Hope you guys can welcome one more fan. Thanks.

    You know you are a true fan when one day these become medicom open orders and you are still sticking around collecting his stuff.

    If he is seriously concern about flipping, i think he should take the Medicom route like Anraku did.
    But i think most makers would prefer to see their figures coveted.
    Black unpainted for everybody would be a dream :)

    If it makes you feel better, I'm about to go to work and listen to the same Santana CD my boss has been playing for the past three months. I'm hearing Carlos in my dreams.
