Let's see some pics! Everyone's talking about their Monsters, but we've only seen a couple photos.

Sorry to hear.


Maybe this is an issue with the way clear vinyl receives paint? Remember, a similar issue was had with a bunch of the clear/blue fade RxH figures too.

Forgot to mention I went to lulubell on friday. Amy has yet to receive the NYCC monsters. The ones on the pictures I guess were only 4 packed at the very top along with the second wave of kaiju for grown ups figures luke did. (which by the way will be up in a few days at the lulu webstore).

From experience I can say that clear toys are harder to paint than colored vinyl, they don't seem to be as porous. That said there are plenty of things you can do during production to avoid things like that happening. Such as keeping the vinyl warm during paint application. Most likely there were still some oils on the toy that didn't get washed off. You have to remember that Luke is painting tons of toys, and it's a long ways from Japan, with a lot of ways for a toy to get jacked up on it's way to you. It always sucks to see a killer paint application get banged up.

Thanks for the heads up brobles.
That picture of the 4 of them got me hopeful that they were all on their way, but as we know, waiting is the name of the game.

hey - i was in there on friday as well! amy had that fresh box full of kaiju for grodyups mashups; she brought it out and allowed me to dive on in there.

i was able to keep a level head and walked out with just the Slender Man that i went in there for in the first place. i'll be returning this friday for the rest of my booty, though.

edit: and just as i posted this, up go those pieces on the website. go get 'em!

some mesh up up!! go go go

Not sure this has already been posted, apologies if it has but just stumbled upon this interview with Luke Rook. I'm not into GS but I really appreciate Luke's pov, very interesting podcast: http://www.giantrobot.com/news/giant-ro ... mment-6084

On the same page in fact.

Ha! Sorry about that

Anyone heard anything on the rest of the NYCC figures landing in the US yet?

i know amy just got a new box of stuff in from luke yesterday (because my dehara is finally on it's way), but i can't
say what else was in said box...

Did anyone score one of the KGrodyFU Two Faces? Are they cooler in person than the pic on Lulubell suggests? Would you be willing to throw a picture or two, please? Thanks!

could it be the open unpainted run, they are supposed to be shipping in June.

hopefully its more of the nycc ones...

I just got a shipping notice for my NYCC monster! I was just assuming he'd show up randomly one day.

SPOILER ALERT!

A handful of NYCC monsters arrived at lulu. I got 1 of 2 of mine. I particularly like the tokyo version and the one on the bottom row, second column.

And this one's mine. Very pleased with how he painted it. Glow head, glitter body painted purple and dark purple arms with black details.

Boners!!!!!


Man that's the pick of the litter

congrats
