    Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database

    Na, I got mine through Lulubell along with my other SK pieces, and I still don't have mine :razz: but that's only due to me asking them to wait for my other outstanding toy order to arrive and ship them all together. If I hadn't received some other SK pieces just over a week ago, I'm not sure I'd have the same patience on the Dorol. Did anybody order the Maity's they got in? I was tempted by the yellow one, but I really just don't care for the Maity as a whole enough to pull the trigger. I'd love to see some nice pics of that yellow one in sombody's Flickr though :D

    I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble, I didn't mean to implicate you, the chipping is most likely from poor drying and rough transport from Japan. I've seen those pictures of these things piled up on top of each other in that alley...

    Your offer to remedy this problem is very professional and completely awesome, but I think I'm going to try to get this thing painted by one of our regulars. I'm not real crazy about it's roll-out scheme.

    Hopefully this problem is mine alone.

    I haven't got one! Like the red color way - it makes it look more menacing.

    And as far as the top heaviness of the Dororu - you really can't pose him with the arms outstretched at all - unless you put them on a angled base or surface. Pretty damn cool figure and amazingly hefty and LARGE.

    I have not seen any new items since the Kobe show. Anyone know when more is coming? Does he do lucky bags?

    The sculpt is a trip and the colors are insane.
    Thanks to D for the great deal.

    maybe I missed it somewhere/sometime, but did the following ever get a release??? (just saw it upon closer inspection of SK around-the-shop pics)

    I'm told there were two Nagoya Chiosu's released, i have no idea on the run size, also there was a limited amount of HP's.
    here's the pink and green releases...
    images of some of the HP's are on charactics still.

    Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database

    Wow- will any of the US stores be getting those chiosu's? I think the run size may have been bigish as they have been cast in new colours- as opposed to just a different paint job on an existing colour. They look to be clear green and pink! Awesome! Maybe its just wishful thinking though.... :D

    Those clear pink Chiosu were release for the Nagoya fair last weekend.
