Rang Super7 and got the disappointing news the Griffin sold out. So fucking bummed to miss that dude 3 times.
If anyone picked up an extra or isn't feeling it, hit me up.

did you try grasshut?

Yeah, yesterday morning. They sold out too.

I've missed it 4 times now (including trying butanohana direct through a middle man) so you're not the only one. Oh well didn't think it would make it online. Guess I don't have to keep hitting refresh 20 times a minute now!

BTW don't worry I'm almost 100% positive Butanohana will release more or even another painted version...

But for now I'm over this damned winged Lion! (as Choon told me this morning)

Yeah, it's active on Butas site now and I'm waiting on an agent response, fingers crossed.

Hate to break it to you I had Tokyo Buyers check this week and it's still sold out:

Shitttt, I was hoping they might be throwing some more up too.

sorry for the sad news on the griffon, guys, we only got a few, that disappeared to the FC. the other pieces are online now, goruba, gomora, matango and a new nise ultraman.

Just picked up the sweet new Ultraman.



I have to talk myself out of going for the Matango that Grass Hut got in since I missed my chance at S7...

just fyi, the Buta Matango is stil available...

I myself am not.

HELP!

Serious. Butanohana, if you're reading this or someone you know who is that can relay this message: I want that Lion/Griffin and ape lady in the worst way. Help a brother out!

Looks like NY is going butaless. Let's get some distribution to TT.

NO :O I absolutely looked over that... I remember it sold out when I got online 30 minutes after their drop. Think I can call them and have them add it to my order if I paypal them the $55? Doesn't hurt to try...

How'my supposed to compete with this mofo?

Dear Butanohana my friend Lorne has been a fan of your wonderful toys for as long as I can remember. Recently he developed a rare aliment that has left him bed ridden with a 10% chance of surviving longer than one month. The doctors say that anything that can keep his spirits up could help tremendously with his chances for recovery. I know one of his greatest joys would be receiving one of your amazing Lion/Griffin toys. You could also throw in one of the Ape Ladies for good measure. Who knows, you might end up being a life saver.
Thanks, Your fan plastichunter.

Does that work?

It's pretty crazy how popular the griffon is.
I hope another version comes around after I get another job.

Ha!

copy/paste, send.

I think everyone wants a griffin. it will be the gate way drug to Buta no hana...

what? there are at least half a dozen in this thread alone.

But while we're all whining, can some start a Buta no Hana thread with images?

Skip the ultra family figures and go straight to the wacky stuff. please.

there already is one in the show off area.

I started a Butanohana flickr group if anyone wants to contribute to that:

ateast, are you talking about this thread -

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=31124&start=0

yes, that one is pretty comprehensive with photos.

I'm not sure what everyone is stressed about..especially concerning the griffon. "butanohana" has always done at least 2 (possibly 3) versions of paint schemes on every toy.

It'll surface and I'm sure very soon especially considered how quickly people buy/sell/trade these days.
