I dunno, still looks like a Calico Critter (which I guess are popular in Japan) rather than sofubi...
As much as I like the colouring on this DF one part of me is starting to see why you guys hate flocking so much. The more I think about it the more questions I have such as: "Oh my god, what if it gets wet for some reason!?" or "Does paint on a flocked object fade faster than on straight vinyl". Also, the whole confirming my fear that it has a similar feel // build to spray moss doesn't exactly thrill me. Wait and see I guess. Maybe another non-flocked one will come out soon. Please?
Halloween flocked negora came and went last night! That mold is made of platinum, it is a blameless, holy creature.

Love how many halloween themed toys from different producers were released this October. So many good ones.
Another update. 10th release. One-Up Akiba Culture Zone store 1 year anniversary exclusive. In store sales with raffle tickets will be given out for lottery. This was suppose to be released on October 28, 2012 with the 22nd release of the Kaiju Negora. Unfortunately products have not arrived in time for the date of planned release and will be released on a later date (further info will be updated as it comes).
been a fan of maxtoyco since STGCC 2012, but never thought there are other negora colorways I've been missing! now I wonder what else I've been missing from maxtoyco
nah, I'm not a completist. but there are variants that I wasn't aware of and is interesting. I passed on the flocked halloween negora cuz I don't really like the feel of it, but there are other flocked negora that I'm interested now Design Fiesta 36 exclusive Negora Otosan (Dad) is definitely in my want list, sadly it's available only in Japan
So, I ordered the Halloween Flocked Negora and it was lost in the post. (seriously...I can show you the emails) If anyone scored an extra and could sell it to me, I'd really appreciate it. PM me. Please help if you are able. Josh Edit: forgot my manners.
She had the prototype of the Shiba Inu Negora-esque character that she has coming out this winter there too. [photo from Toho Kingdom use Kaiju no Mura because I forgot to take one] I can't remember the name of it, something like "Shibara", but it looked awesome.
The new max toy monster boogie negora minis have sold out. So are the custom clear paint micro negoras... I wanted one so bad but i thinkclub members nabbed em all
I think seven went up on the site? It wasn't many. Don't blame me on that one. Do blame me for the fast Monster Boogie sellout, I had to get a set.
Ten of those custom clear paint micro negoras went up on the Max Toy Co site and they sold out really fast. Also this went on sale today, it's an Angel Abby exclusive for $50 and sold out immediately:
I need to figure out how to stay on top of this shit... Def didnt want the whole mini set, but lookin forwrd to future individual releases! Def need a nekron, an the new negora. the dino is pretty killer too, might have to start collecting those
Nekoron Nise Nekoron Mecha Nekoron Should be noted these are not Konatsu designs. I do not plan on keeping track of a database for these figures with the exception of Mecha Nekoron which I started when it was first release. These 4 are base on Konatsu. I am unsure yet if I will keep track of the kaiju dog Shibara and the micro kaiju dog Mamera.
