Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 I want to see a full 360 before I can judge. It seems cool, but it's hard to tell from that pic. I wouldn't have guessed to be Zollmen from just seeing the pic, though.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 I've ONLY won once, by hitting "order" on the site when the lottery opens. Now that I see more pics, I like it, looks fun.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 its this exact attitude that makes succes of western krap possible. ur greatly ignoring the fact that at least mother was made by a boardmember to fxxk this community. please never mention zollmen and shikaruna in the same sentence again!!! everything that sells works...
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 Has this really been confirmed? I thought this was just a joke.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 This again? Was that ever even proven? If so, I'm curious, if no one wants to "call out" anyone, PM me! Last I remember that was shot down, though.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 I don't know, it just seems to me, that even if you flip a dozen toys, how much can you make 5 grand? Just seems like a lot of work to me, to create and produce a toy and hatch a low run/ flipping marketing scheme, for such a small return. If there is legitimate proof of shady operations, I'd be interested too if there is.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 It seems awfully "busy" to me. I wonder what articulates--just the horn and neck?
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 The American portion of Zollmen does live in the SF Bay Area, and is a board member. I am sure that if he wanted to advertise himself he would. Nothing that I have discovered indicates anything other than a love of toys and small production runs. I do believe he is politically disfavored by other local toy kingpins, but that too is heresay and I won't repeat it further. Whereever you stand on Zollmen, at least their toy line has introduced some very interesting and collectable figures. I can't wait to see this new one in person.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 I hope to god he's not a mini, I think as a standard he'd be a really fresh presence on a shelf
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 whatever that is, that looks great. i also think this would look really good standard size.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 Looks like it pulls in it's prey and digests it with it's acid glands and external stomach like a starfish. LOVE it!
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 As I read through the majority of the last three pages of this thread, including now my OWN replies, we are getting WAY off track with this thread. As a DATABASE, I (and I would hope others) want to use this as a quick reference to scope out the chronology of releases. Frankly, and please someone back me up on this, I really do not want to sift through the pages of opinion and criticism to get to what I come to the thread for. For the love of Earth, put an end to the drivel.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/22/09 There were no solid details, no explanation of how Zollmen was underhanded, and no facts at all as to how Zollmen created Maza to screw SB. Short runs??? Anraku does those, Bemon does those, SB releases rare variants, RxH does short runs on certain releases. I give information like this zero credence absent proof, or details, or something other than innuendo from certain people who don't like the company. SBers actually have won Maza lotteries, they are not scam lotteries imo.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/25/09 Any one have any luck on the new guy, I did not. I think this guy's great, better than most of the other Zollmen stuff. I think I'm 1/8 for Garimpo lotteries.
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/25/09 I tried to order, but no response as of late. Anyone receive any regret email or otherwise?
Re: Zollmen Database- updated 6/25/09 Just received their "try next time" mail feel tired to receive such kind of mail every time!!
