KAWS Stormtrooper

If you don't live in Japan, how else would you get one?

 

Non-greedy resellers????

 

its already on the shelves @ of.
looks a little bid strange imo, not as glossy as expected,
wavy surface of head looked like a proto to me.
still god enough to line up and get @ retail,
but doesnt seem to match quality of vader on first sight.

 

Post pics if you get one.

 

Hey man, really cool meeting you today. Now I can put a face on the Berlin brethren.

 

What's the update!
Who scored?

 

Its still a little too early in Tokyo. It's only 6:30 am over there. I wonder how long the line up is already?

 

Oh. Lol.

 

Well I know someone that lined up around 3:30-4:00 so I'm sure their going to score.
I bet by now the line is nuts.

 

Isn't it lottery? So even the last person in line has a chance.
Unless they only have so many lottery tickets.

 

True, forgot about that.

 

It would be sad if the first person in line doesn't get one.

 

no, you're guaranteed one until they run out of tickets (you just make a draw for what time to come back). i know first hand... when i made my trip to japan, I was so excited that the mono dissected was released when I was there... then i got lost and when i finally found OF, the 3rd person in front of me got the last ticket. so i was assed out and wasn't even allowed to browse the store that day

 

That doesn't make it much of a raffle then...

 

This is true IF the line didn't exceed the figures available by a big margin.
The OF staff usually just handout the ticket.

The line this morning is the longest i have seen for a while for a Kaws release. You did have to draw for a ticket from a lottery box. That said, it seems that chances are still pretty good overall.

 

ok, well maybe this one is different. i know the other dissected they just had x amount of tickets for x amount of figures

 

I really like the line art of the figure. I actually think the head translated better on the drawing than the actual figure. I still love it but I can now see what people are saying.

 

OF toy releases look insane. I saw someone familiar in one of these pics.
