Re: Anraku Photos! If both of those Gogas are Medicom preorder I will shit my pants.Love the roll cake character too. Exciting stuff. Both of those Gogas are absolute stunners.
Re: Anraku Photos! Mini set and gogas Someone please shed some light on what's going on. Also, not sure what's up with that new sculpt
Re: Anraku Photos! I can't read the labels there, not sure if those are Mandas, or other generic dragon characters. Very highly detailed though; excellent work, very beautiful looking sculpts and absoutely fine looking dragons, just not what I typically go in for in my own vinyl toys.
Re: Anraku Photos! I can't make out what they do say, but doesn't look like Manda (マンダ) anywhere on the bottom bold line, which is where Goga's name is on his tag.
Re: Anraku Photos! I like the new sculpt, M1 meets Anraku in my opinion. I think in the hand it will have crazy texture that we associate with Anraku releases, and that will be the redeeming quality. And I bet the head sculpt looks fantastic in hand. Looks like an Okuda sculpt to me, as I understand he has sculpted most AA toys? Would love clarification on that. Also, I am happy to see it b/c one of the things that sets Anraku apart from other pachi makers is the sheer diversity of sculpts in the AA stable. Compared to other highly sought-after makers (Bemon, Nag etc.) the number of sculpts is impressive, at least in my eyes. But then again you have folks like Buta and Bear Model with countless numbers of character interpretations that just boggles the mind.
Re: Anraku Photos! ^ You gotta get out there and beat the bushes for the minis! I found mini Dako nirvana after two years of searching, lots of emails, "cold calls" and dead ends before hitting that Anraku mini honey pot. But luck is obviously a big factor too with the minis. Hopefully a mini preorder is on the horizon. Those colors are sharp for the mini Dakos.
Re: Anraku Photos! The new dragons are from anime series ryukisei all AA's original characters. Everyone is surprised with these new collabs. I hope the wait is not as long as the last LBs
Re: Anraku Photos! No need luck or jump through hoops. These seem to be MTOs! Now everyone who always wanted something AA can have something in their collection.
Re: Anraku Photos! if that mini dako set is truly made-to-order and going to be available to purchase.... ahh i will be in toy heaven!
Re: Anraku Photos! Accidental double post, but I am guessing that what that means is a made to order run, in otherwise production of the figures will be based on a number of pre-orders (which could still be limited to some degree, as the numbers can't be infinite, but won't be the usual procedure of AA toys). A definite nice return by the creators for the fans' appreciation and a big plus for all those who have pined for an AA toy to add to their vinyl monster family.
