Post Chima Group Soup
Image
OK, a crappy pic for what I hope is a good thread. I really dig these guys, so post your collections! :)

L to R: Amedas, Bolo, Tengallon, Wool

Amedas is a dinosaur type creature
Bolo is a painter (based off a japanese cookie)
Tengallon is a reptile dude. I really like this one too.
Wool

From what I gather, this is a husband and wife duo based in Tokyo. They paint their toys too!

I think I'm going to stick with this sculpt if I can. it's weird, but damn if it doesn't grown on you!
So I'll follow these and grab one of each sculpt otherwise if I can.

yeah! those are starting to grow on me too, but I'm happy with this one. the designs are deceptively complex too. The spikes on the back of the amedas are done in kind of a fold-over look. One thing I'm really liking about Chima Group is that each character is so different. It's pretty fun to see what they come up with next.

Love Chima Group! Focusing on the Amedas & Wool figures but have at least 1 of each of their sculpt. Here's my collection so far with my temporary setup.

Your pink wools are similar but also different. Are those two different ones or just a variance in the paint color?

The Pink Wools are pretty much the same except the color of the scarfs.

cool stuff! I've seen a gray and a green Wool around too.
I'm focusing on Tengallons, but Wool is pretty fun. I hope one day they do a giraffe colorway, haha
All the sculpts are nicely balanced IMO.

Thanks! Yeah the grey & green Wool is awesome. Chima Group said they'll have him for sale in the summer. I guess they only made a few for design festa. There's also a black one too. I was very tempted to collect the tengallons. Your pastel one looks awesome!

yeah! the Tengallons are fun--plus they get the most elaborate paint jobs next to the Bolo, so they'll be a fun focus for me.

Black Wool. sounds cool--I'll need to find a pic.

Here's a pic of the black wool that they had at Design Festa.

Can't wait to see all your tengallons together.

Nice! I only collect the Wools. I didn't know there were two different scarfs on the pink one. UGH. I just don't want to start collecting every variant so I am being selective with this. Not sure which pink one I got either. Wool is downstairs. =(

I think Chima hinted that there were 2 different scarf colors in a picture they put on twitter but they never actually said there were 2 versions for sale and I didn't think too much of it until Rotofugi put their toys up for sale. The lighter one was directly from Chima Group (they didn't sell the darker one) and the other from Rotofugi.

Thank you. It's a mess, but I love a crowded shelf. Wish I could figure out a good way to display them... :D

I've only got two, but they're cute. Chima Group themselves were nice when I met them. I hope they continue to make more Dinos.
