Yes I am sure some Japanese j-vinyl creators do read sb

Maybe the real question is whether they can read English.

I get the feeling that running English text through an online translator like google or bable fish is the same as running Japanese through a translator. There's a lot of deciphering.

And this interesting new concept art

this was posted a couple pages ago... looks like more than concept art, eh?

Camel toe-head.

Can't unsee it now after noticing it in the illustration and subsequently, the sculpt.

my eyes are stuck now as well

It's a killer....awesome sculpt

^^ Yeah, i love the new head. It looks like a mash-up of the two Ichibanboshi Oni-dog heads . . . . .

Hyper Hobby exclusives presented by Sofubi Michi. 2 color choices.

Color: Red

Color: Gold

Spider web face is awesome !

seriously kill me....those are awesome hyper hobby exclusives....is there any international order too???

finger crossed

I like the gold one !

That flaming sword arm is awesome

So screw it, they've been up for a while, new sumos and crap on Lulubell. It's not really a "HAY GUYZ!" moment after this long.

Fart in my mouth!

I wish I could have gotten the yellow eyed flesh one, but went for the white eyed since that's what was left that wasn't GID. Still, definitely appreciate the heads up as I never check.

Edit: lol @ the pug sleeping in the background.

I actually didn't even see that they had all that new RxH stuff until most of it was already gone, but I was still able to snag a Honesuke and a finger, so I'm content.

were the two flesh ones actually different tones or just variances in the photos? i was really hoping for an unpainted blue (or some other odd color). did any of the unpainted ones make it stateside?

No the 2 flesh's had different eyes. One had yellow eye the other had white eye.

No crazy colors, there was GID, flesh and a clear one all painted. I nabbed a clear and that yellow Chaos. RHND!

^ thanks for the info, but i meant the flesh tone. one looked like it matched the unpainted flesh sets, but the other seemed more like the original devilman tribute flesh color. know what i mean?

didn't even realize there was a clear one. nice!

Ha, I hadn't seen the clear until just now either -- Definitely the first to go.

I think you may be onto something re: different skin tones. The product images had vastly different lighting, so I tried a little Photoshop wizardry and messed with them a bit. Who knows if this is more accurate, but I guess we'll see when they start showing up!

Love that too.
