So, something changed and apparently now we won't be able to read Butanohana's blog. Or is it just me? Need an invite to access.
Yeah, it works fine now. But it sure wasn't a cache thing. It even asked for a google email and password, which I actually provided and then it said. 'uh-uh, not going beyond this point without an invite'. Anyways, I'm glad it's fixed. Loving the yellow and orange vinyls.
yeah, am I missing something? The website has been down for a couple days now, and I am only seeing the same old stuff on the blog.
Scissors-Paper-Rock Battle Series- what a funny name, but I think I'll wait till some are painted. The other non micro's aren't bad though.
3000 yen for a set of only six micros is a bit much, and that bright yellow base doesn't allow the details to come through. at least he's moved away from all brown vinyl
I actually think that price isnt bad. Alittle less than gargamel micros. and yes, no brown!! and speaking of no brown... soo fuckin nice!
i want to live in the kind of world where i can insert a 100 yen into a capsule toy dispenser to have a set of two of these pop out also, this is very interesting: are any other japanese toy makers concerned about or working to avoid phthalates? great news, if so. i wonder if the feel or look of the vinyl will be different.
^^I hate the topic of pthalates... makes me get anxiety thinking about the bad shit in things I'm surrounded by everyday. but it would be great if they could make it with the same look and feel without them.
Yeah it's been discussed here before. Trust me I'm a complete hypochondriac, so stuff like that worries me (and I do think of it from time to time)- BUT I the scheme of things: just walking out of the house with depleted ozone layer, toxins and pollutants in the air & water you breath and drink, most food you consume, something will eventually kill you. So a few phalates are floating around my apartment. Keep small children away from them and hope it doesn't make me infertile (and at the age of 42 kids looking further and further like a non possibility with me though my g/f argues differently).
Yeah, I am liking the new figures too, but I have to agree that the micros didn't seem to come out just right for me, and I think it is mainly the vinyl colour. The white in the preview shot was fantastic, but I thing both orange and yellow aren't great vinyl, and the two colours together makes it that much more unappealing. Still though, would love to get anything Buta at this point. Any word on the sale date/medium for these?
That Dorako definitely has a place on my shelf along with those micros! I'm not digging the new Gorillas though, the first release is much better in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong if i did not already own the brown versions i would be all over these! I had to enforce a rule on collecting Butanohana, no multiples of the same sculpt.
