new Usugrow figure!?

via hiddy's blog report for the Shinganist show (sounds like it maybe? maybe i'm reading the translation wrong). i hope this is in the works DROOL

 

Oooops! I guess it was at the show last night, I totally missed it. Being sick sucks.

 

Pictures are kind of dark so its hard to get a full feel for the figure, but it looks better than the R.I. in my opinion!

 

Looks like the base is needed for support . . .

 

skull reminds me of galtan.

 

for me,,it evokes images of masai herdsmen..





i likes it so far,,seems to fit with the "next level" sb range...although not too sure how many countless colourways can be done of it??

 

Figure looks great - but hoping it doesnt have to have the base.

 

Excited about this news...interesting to me that the skullhead is tilted upward.

 

Base or no base. It's a vast improvement on the R.I.

It's this one right?

 

that must be the art that was used for the new figure !
if somebody asked you, before this new figure was done, if you could imagine that this pen/ink artwork can be turned into a toy.....wouldnt you also have said "no way" ?
incredible !!

 

dammit i have to stop buying new toys but ill definitely be picking up the first few releases of this toy.

 

I just fear the day they do a Usugrow fight figure . . . a Skullwing x Atom Age Vampire hybrid with a Usugrow twist would melt my brain!

(as long as it was self-supporting)

 

So another statue basically.

 

that seems to be the "next level",,,,more statue than toy

 

can not wait

it looks awesome.. want to see better pics, and with some spray to show detail!

 

How many points of articulation does the RI have, two? Although I hear you can move the arms if you try hard enough...

I like it. As Jürgen already pointed out, it's an astonishingly accurate transition from art to figure/statue.



[edited for not good engrish]

 

I guess thats why the RI doesn't appeal to me, besides the whole "urban" look to it. I like toys, not arts made into something.

 

looks interesting - thought of this for some reason...



maybe it's the dramatic lighting in those photos

 

I hope to see that halo included in the "toy" version.

 

I hear you. Never really got the appeal of the RI myself...

 

I think I will be told very soon that I was wrong...but is it really possible to make this a vinyl figure ?
I can imagine that it is very difficult due to the slim "arms" and the rest of the thin long elements....more likely to be made of resin or metal ???

 

don't forget vinyl does not need to be hollow, could be a combo injection/rotary molding

 

Not possible if its one piece, but it you divided the arm in to say 2 or 3 places its possible.

 

I prefer toys myself but I also love my ho chi mihn bust (puts on flame retardent suit)
so even if it has no articulation it should still be sweet in hand

 

that is what I figured a piece for the arm and a separate piece for the pen
