Exactly, I think the terminology might be lost in translation. The fakest thing about it might be the marketing and the fake intention of it trying to honor Shig. That’s why I was saying instead of declaring it fake he should let everyone know it was made by the guy who was bootlegging Nags. That is also why I posted it here. I didn’t think this toy warranted a new Thread based on the maker. I just wanted to raise the red flag for those buying in.
There's some crazy INCEPTION level sh*t going on with that sale . . . and none of it's the good kind!
Make sure to post a picture of you holding all 7 when they arrive, so the sofubi world knows you’re a serious player.
And take lots of photos of them in various restaurants and bars so they get a nice fragrant layer of chashu and beer.
With the mandatory face like a slapped arse, to express the joy and pleasure that buying sofubi brings you!
I don't know if this has been explained, but how is this guy able to create somewhat passable blanks when the originals are hard to come by and rather expensive?
@bbb I’ve been told by someone that spoke to him in length that he pays a lot of monies to acquire originals of what he boots. Dude’s loaded and began making bootlegs out of spite to certain hype artists with disregard of finances.
Yep, I remember those days… Constantly posting on IG that he was offering thousands for Nags. This screen shot is from 2017.
He should go the opposite route: make 500 of each bootleg Nag and send them for $40 each. A chicken in every pot and a Nag on every desk. Go big or go home.
