skinner x shikaruna x lulubell

Yo! MCA in Da Hoooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuse!

 

That is not it this is the new skinner piece this is

 

Woow, those teasers are looking good!! Really dig the wizard with bunny ears. If I knew this in advance I would have signed up for the $500 set..

 

Can't tell if joking or not.

 

sums up this thread...

 

Well I guess my joke was way better than a certain sombody taking the time posting a [expletive deleted].....Please remove

 

Has anyone gotten any indication of how long it will be until we actually see something?

 

I believe it said 6-8 weeks on the pre-order pages...

 

6-8 weeks. Quite a long wait...
Here's hoping for an awesome HP and blank vinyl color.

 

Im super excited for this! It would be so rad if the blanks were mint like this dude:

 

i hope not...

 

I think there's a strong possibility that the people who spent the 500 on Toys/Sculptures will receive the 6 tit, swamp banshee, hag thing, the wizard, or the death dealer/barbarian, that he previews here....

The only reason I think that is because I haven't heard anything about these actually being sold yet, and they're large enough to warrant a high price point.

Just an idea...

 

I don't think that is going to happen.

 

Ok so I totally thought "skinner" was a rock band somebody was trying to promote on here, had no idea he was artist, and a very talented one at that.. Insert foot in mouth, rinse and repeat.. That swamp banshee sculpture is wild...

 

Well he is in a band if that makes you feel any better.

 

Except they're not vinyl and nothing like the artwork that the toy is based off of.

 

my understanding is that no pictures will be distributed before the toy is actually shipped. I believe the plan is that the first pictures shown of the toy are from the collectors.

 

That's an interesting idea.

 

yea. i guess they got the money already... might as well make it a surprise all the way. I really hope it comes out awesome, but i'm not a fan of the way this is released... doesn't mean i won't buy one later if i like it.

 

Interesting. Back in my day we chose to participate in this hobby because it was fun for us to buy the toys that we thought looked cool.

 

I dunno, I mean there are certain toy makers that if I got an offer, site unseen, I'd drop the cash. Does that make me some sort of an idiot? I don't think so. BUT that's considering I've seen lots of past work (in the toy field) and have gained that trust.

This is a situation of a guy who has a fan base with work in 2D (ok, some resin figures too) in collaboration with a Japanese toy maker who also has a set fan base and number of works. But we've never seen anything they've done together and we've never seen Skinner in toy form (minus 1 resin figure.)

So I can see what makes this a little weird. But the man has his fan base and that's who this is for, himself and those fans. For the rest of us who are iffy on it, we can jump in later so no big deal. This release was clearly a "testing the waters" type thing as well as a big high five for Skinner and fans who have that blind faith. Not for "Toy collectors" or "Art collectors" or "kaiju/neokaiju collectors" but right out Skinner fans. It's an interesting situation for sure.

I'm interested in seeing what it comes out like!

 

ha! yes please, let's leave the blind packs for baseball cards.

 

dumb dumb dumb

i think someone else does too.
