Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Not sure. Siccaluna often does one offs and SP's for event's. SP means Special Paint and usually implies a limited event item. These are limited runs just for the shows. For that event they had clear reds, greens, and pink I believe. It could be a run of the clear green or maybe a one off. Maybe someone else who has a Chiwos from the show could shed some more light...
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 That chiwos is a micro run from 2008 i believe. The one you have is cast in clear blue vinyl and filled with green paint w/metallic pink highlights. here's mine.
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Thanks evilrabbitry for clarifying my first but not last Chiwos! Now i need to look for the Pink/Blue one
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 that's a great chiwos martoy, can't wait to see more pics of it when you get it!
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Sorry if this is off-topic, but is it still possible to get a garumega anywhere? Ever since I saw the plaseebo custom I've been needing one...
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 There's two new toys of old school favorites just posted today by SK. I may have to score these fellas. These prototypes have been sitting around for a while...I'm glad they finally made them.
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 yes, very excited that those prototypes will finally see the light of day! martoy, your chiwos looks amazing!
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 The SK Tetsuijin stuff looks amazing. Anyone confirm how tall they are?
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Standard Edition Gigantor 25 cm Burakkuokkusu First edition Gun Metal ver. 24 cm I like m both! Unfortunately I can't pull the trigger yet.
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Weird, though...I wonder why they're going with the "angry eyes" berzerk T28 version before putting out the normal one...
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 So that you know he's about to break Black Ox's face. Where would one go about buying these? I've never bought a Shikaruna toy.
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Actually...weren't the "angry eyes" when the bad guys took him over and made him smash up the city? Then, he'd be working with Black Ox!
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Didn't Shikaruna come out with three t-28's last year? So this is another sculpt altogether?
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 Welcome to the Island of Unloved Toys. This is probably the very first S-K SP version ever made (well, one of two). When S-K debuted its first toy at Superfestival 42 (April 2007), purchasers of the yellow or black Gaezal were entered into a drawing for two one-off versions. The black SP below is "Type B" so I have to think there is a "Type A" one-off of the yellow version. The paint work on both this SP and the normal black version is wonderfully restrained, although I'm sure many find it dull. The glossy black with touches of color has a sort of 'mature refinement' that I love. Normal black first version:
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 I personally love the black version. The minimal paint really does show off the sculpt. So glad you finally have that SP one off in hand and we finally get to see nice pics of it. That auction just showed it bagged so you could never really see it. BTW, I know I've seen a pic of the other orange/green one off. I'm trying to find it now. PS I think then the glow version we've both seen that is different must be a one off also (probably the same deal) EDIT: Crap I happened upon the pic while searching for something using japanese characters and did not save it like an idiot. I saw it though. The body looked identical to the green/orange but the face was more brownish.
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 I love this sculpt. Really cool score on this SP version. Metallic green looks nice on black vinyl.
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 yes, definitely a great sculpt. the minimal colors on that version are very nice. new addition to my sk family...
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 My first S-K stuff. The paint on these minis is spectacular. I want more. _1150835.jpg by COOP666, on Flickr _1150839.jpg by COOP666, on Flickr _1150850.jpg by COOP666, on Flickr _1150845.jpg by COOP666, on Flickr
Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/24/10 just picked up lulubell's exclusive siberian iron beast. love the darker color on this, and the striped horns are a nice detail.
