saw that post on twitter. cant wait to see the rest of the figure

 

I saw a clear one in person a few months ago, it's a rad toy and I'm looking forward to seeing what type of color choices this one will have.

 

It will be interesting to see how this figure is received. It's got a very Mad Toy/ Tokyo Guns, early Japanese urban vinyl feel to it, that doesn't seem to be that popular these days.
I'm looking forward to seeing Lamour's figure, any updates?

 

Initially, when I heard about this I thought it would make an awesome fight size (around the time of the Gorilla Biscuits toy dropping), so was kinda disappointed when I heard it was more like BxH size. Since then my tastes have changed and I'm digging the BxH so I'm stoked to see the finished product . . . particularly if it's still being made in JPN!

 

Yes Andy, made in Japan! It's really a nice size. A little bigger than I expected but it goes really well in my collection of BxHs.

 

looks rad (so far from the teaser photos)! would like to get a b&w or greyscale one.. curious how it would look like in yellow

 

yes, bigger than I expected. But still a cool figure. pictures soon...!

 

SOON! . . . if Joe wuz still around they'd be online already!

 

Yeah, what happened to him?

 

lol...Joe has pictures but is not allowed to post or share.

 

cant wait to get mines

 

check it...

Fucking awesome!

The price was much more than I expected though.

 

I love this. Is this the final version? I love simple.

 

>8" tall figure
>$100

Great.

 

sick. cant wait for the release.

 

Seems about right given the price of oil right now

 

It might be a tad over 8 inches but it looks very beefy. Also with all the parts.. I think the 100.00 price tag is being generous. Looks like a lot went into
Production on this.

 

and there are 7 points of articulation plus a bat...

the bling bag Steregon has less movement possibilities, it is smaller but it has the same price tag...

 

I'm so on the fence about this guy . . . as a new sculpt/toy I love it, but am kinda thinking the $$$ would be better spent on the older OG BxH stuff that influenced it!

 

Ed pointed out to me that my comment came off more as about the value of this figure. What I meant was that, regardless of how nice the figure may be (and the figure is fine, so good for people who like it), but I just don't think any collector is really wishing for a new $100 figure to collect these days. Those blind bag Sterogon's being an excellent example... people liked the sculpt, and they they just languish on a store page. For as clean of a design as this guy, maybe he would have been better served at 5" for $50. Spending a hundred bucks on a single vinyl, regardless of manufacturer has just lost its appeal.

 

well, on my side, I don't mind paying $100 on such figure as I am almost 100% sure that there won't be any color variant

in this end, this may be less expensive than buying a 5" figure that will be decliner over and over...
