Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Considering these are Department H exclusives you might not want to know...
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Let me add my voice to the throng of hurrahs. I love the dark "unpainted" ones in the browns, blacks, and grays. I don't know about the Chicken Fever comparisons. I must admit I immediately thought of this... Would love to see some Sludge Demons in those darker Karz Works colors.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu actually these belong to skullheadbutt and not the karzworks line.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu I loved the MonsterQ figures, but never really felt anything else from SkullheadButt until these. These are just plain awesome. I'd love to own a few, but the price on the couple I've come across was outrageous.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu These are really great actually, and I am surprised I like them. I really dig the pulp sci-fi vibe, something I cold really see being made into a rubber suit on The Outer Limits, rather than the dark scariness. The ape especially calls to me. But, as has been said already here, something I would in all likelihood never own, so I will just enjoy them from the pics. Hopefully we can keep the hype/competition factor to a tolerable level and just all learn to appreciate them Thanks for sharing these.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Yeah, love these, but the retail prices are way prohibitive for me, if not to say generally ridiculous.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu As soon as I saw these I immediately thought of a crossover between neckface and some of the demons that inhabit the pages of kentaro miura's berserk!
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu really seens that they are taken from old and semi unknown sci-fi movies
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Yeah, at least two of them are based off of Paul Blaisdell creatures. Mutant-X is the mutant from "The Day the World Ended" and Star-X is the alien from "It! The Terror From Beyond Space". The faces of Space-X and Zombiekong look so familiar but I can't place them.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Wow! Good looking out -- Spot on similarities. Thanks for the info. I've always liked some of SHB's sculpts (namely Howaton and Tolueneman (another obvious sci-fi nod, this time to Metaluna monster)), but these sculpts are on another level. There's a couple more version on the kong body, "Last kongs." Space Sasquatch: Robokong:
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Thanks Banshee for the info, really enjoyed seeing where these monsters came from. The more I see and the more I'm excited, I'm really curious to feel the vinyl here, hoping it's a nice chunk of heavy sofubi. As much as I liked quite a few toys that have been released lately (i.e. Zollmen Zombies are pretty much on top of my recent fave lists) I find these mindblowing! Love the dark twist he's bought to these classic sci-fi monsters.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Alright- the Robot Monster homage changes everything for me- that one’s a must. Some day it will be mine…
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu When I first saw Star-X I thought of Neckface but again I now realize that Neckface may have also been thinking of IT when he first drew his alien
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Its a bat bro, no alien. I hope we see more of this line though, I personally love it.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Yep, I get that, I just thought that it was stated as an alien where I found the shot - and just realized it was taken in 'Allen' st.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu RoboKong and Sasquatch just shot up to my most wanted list. Where the HELL does one get one of these beasts!??!
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu I've seen this ape before but is this a new colourway to fit with the latest releases?
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu I thought that one was already released(The body is painted different).
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu Yeah, exactly. I remember a seeing a black ape somewhere on flickr but this seems to be a new colourway, a companion to this set. Looks great anyway!
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu I'm not super into the ape on it's own. I remember seeing it and was like (and still am) "meh" about it.
Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu sigh...I would love to own this figure by Rich. (different colorway though or !!!unpainted!!!). too good to just not say anything. OK back to the topic at hand. figures look cool. I Like the head sculpts.
