 Re: Got paranoia?
ah, okay. so definitely not by the bemon dude.
i still find the anonymity weird, maybe that will change with time, release details, etc.

By posting a picture with a random caption...it fuels the hype and you know that people will generally be interested and curious. If this guy isn't on the board, has never produced a toy and doesn't speak English then why the secrecy in saying his name? Who benefits from that? Anyway Kozik had his "anarchy" and "smoking" toys that little kids thought were cool and rebellious...and this guy seems to be on the flipside with his "fuck the usa"..targeted at the "KAIJU" market. To me this toy looks great and fun but the footstamp is completely unnecessary. I think people would have ultimately liked this thing without it.

 Re: Got paranoia?
fine... i admit.. it was me. i took a shit and said 'that looks like it would make a cool toy" i gave it eyes and a mouth and molded on a couple more logs and wahlaaa.. articulation. the first run of these will be available through davidborn.. you know where to find him and somewhere along the way my stamp for the foot got lost in translation... it was supposed to say "fuck you essay"

 Re: Got paranoia?
Got to admit that the guy is a marketing genius of some kind to generate this much discussion on his first toy. It's like a buzz-generating cruise missile aimed right at the heart of skullbrain. It would be really cool if the whole thing was an elaborate hoax. Look close - can you be sure those aren't just CG renderings????

 Re: Got paranoia?
I also like how the paint, articulation and poses make them almost look like two different sculpts
