Thanks for scoring me Kougai. Seriously the weirdest vinyl ever. The sculpt is primordial. The packaging is just plain cryptic. Beats Menta Kun hands down in the weird department. The stuff of vinyl nightmares. Truly from hell.
WOWZA COOL ! Man I think this figure is way hecka cool. Is there a way I can obtain one ? Please if you can kindly let me know. Thanks you much. SHAPE-OUT !
Re: WOWZA COOL ! I almost picked up a few extras in tokyo and didn't, becaue I knew I wouldn't keep them all, guess I should've. A preorder for one just sold on the bay recently.. which was a little weird... Brian said s7 was supposed to get them but arent now. I think each run is 30? so they are on third run so there is a total of 90?
One of each? They are all the same sculpt.. all individual paint jobs. I picked mine up at bxh in Tokyo, they had like 6 others in early dec.
So far thy have had three or four runs of 30, all hand painted. Run 1 was glow based, run2 was red based and run 3 was green based. (if memory serves me correctly -there actually may have been two different green runs.) The new run appears to be glow based as well. I only found 1 on my last trip to japan. We got in x4 of run3 when it first came out, but the reorder of x5 never came through even though we were confirmed. I think they sell quickly now.
Brian each run has three different colors of vinyl. like the run that Paulkaiju just posted a picture of up above is from run 3 and I got 5 different ones from that run, I got a light blue vinyl, an olive vinyl, and 3redvinyl all from the 3rd run. I got one from run 2 and it was orange vinyl, and I think there was also a red and a lime green in that run. now the first run of them is the only run I am not totally sure about but I know for a fact there was a GID vinyl in there!!!!!!!!!! I wish I would have got a GID one!!!!!!! if you look at the poster that come with them you can see the different colors of vinyl on there!!!!!!! If anyone has a chance to get one I would highly recomend it!!!!!!!!! I was pissed I had to send 3 of the ones I got out because they are all so bad ass!!!!!!!!!
That thing is crazy looking! Like a Sid and Marty Krofft went to Japan! The little red dots in the eyes are cool!
Definitely props to VGA-Thanks for the hook-up brother...These guys are badass in person!!!Pauls looks like its having a stare down!! Creepy as hell!!
I gotta be honest and say that when these first made the scene I didn't see the appeal but there is something about that stare...I really noticed it when Paulkaiju's put up his picture. So creepy and weird...
bemon bag as I said at KR sorry for the quality, the bag is pretty glossy, the back is same screen in blue.
I dig the packaging, very home-brewed satanic. I love the monster He's fighting on the header. I've seen a Vinyl of that "Junked cars" monster on YJP going for big yen!
Dude the Bemon on the back of the header is so fucking cool!!!!! I really liked the colors on your header paul!!!!! I like the colors on this header too!!!!!!!
PLease tell me these guys aren't in the $150 range. I would love to have one but have to make the mortgage! Who here won the preorder on ebay?
Retail was about 70 bucks... Ive never seen one sell for that around here though.. I also would ever purchase one without seeing it (such as the preorder was) I passed on a few different ones b/c I thought the paint wasnt that great and pretty much the figure was a little lacking. IMO the paint is what makes these figures so some are amazing, some aren't worth it.
These guys are probably the one thing I have been exposed to on here that I just can't get into. Not trying to stir anyone up by saying that, I can definitely see what the attraction might be to those like VGA who have got right behind them. I love the header card artwork a lot, but the figure I just can't break into.
C'mon Moriachi, those pics of the red by Paul rock. I agree with audio about some of the paint schemes. Some are hot and some are not. That is why I was afraid to preorder. But man those pictures of the red one Paul make it worth it!
very valid opinion.. i had to see them in person and fight with myself about the cash some.. funny enough my mom loves him
I admit, it might be a hard one to want to adopt for the price even if you like messed up stuff , but I consider this one to be in it's "Own realm". It also shows that there's people who have made toys that aren't exactly a "brand name". Pure homebrew. It's just a whacked idea and very inspiring to folks like me. I like the way it effects people that see it. Either "Uhhh", or "Ehhhh", or "uuuuurrrhhh", or "WTF?". It's done it's job.
