I agree, I am DYING for this figure, but Mori refuses to compromise quality in his releases, and won't release a figure if at least a certain sizeable run can be offered.

This figure is not GID, just white vinyl.

So let's see.
Blank GID Mutant Head. Check.
Yellow v-color. Check.
Pink v-color. Check.
Red v-color. Check.
Silver v-color. Check.
:twisted:

Oh good, that means when Mori decides to make this paint job AGAIN with quality that meets his standards he can just go ahead and slap it on GID vinyl instead. 8)

not GID? aw bummer! More white vinyl based figs are always welcome.
but Blood's idea isn't bad either, haha.

Still a neat colorway though. I'm happy to hear "...certain sizeable run can be offered". I love that RxH has become a lot easier to get for the most part.

Spectacularly rude and disrespectful suggestion on your part Andy. You certainly don't sound like a fan.... Right now there is a mix of hand sprayed figures, and factory finished, masked figures being released. Some releases more publicized than others, and not being relased only in Japan.

I can tell you first-hand that this personal crusade of yours (in multiple threads) to point out that factory paint sprays aren't to your expectations, and suggesting that they are a detriment to the brand, aren't making you popular in Aoto.

If the Man feels like messing around with paint masks, then so be it. Jump on for the ride, or jump off. Don't buy if you don't like. I passed on lots of the painted shorts stuff. Pointing out that he can do better in your opinion, based on an older release that YOU already own, potentially influencing a new fan's purchase is completely uncool. The Jyarinco set is super rare, and most REAL fans would love to have this set in their collection, even if its an hommage to the original colorway.
...


I was under the impression that Mori doesn't read these forums- how exactly is he hearing about what we say?

I'll refrain from expressing any further opinions on the topic since I'm a REAL fan. We shall speak no ill of Mori-san. ;P

Ummm, forgive me, this has always been my understanding but isn't it bad etiquette to even "suggest" to a Japanese business man how to run their business? Even the hip younger Japanese? It is a matter of pride and honor in their society?

I'd be happy if he just re-did them on white too. Did he say just because of 1 bad spray attempt he's giving up on the colorway all together? That's just crazy! I hope he goes ahead and says "bogus on the first try, but let's go again!"

I think these are different enough to get a pass, it is not like one would be mistaken for the other. I would rather see the hits remixed than uninspired or awkward paints. Looks like a fun night.

Post Re: Another Crazy Night...
that's awesome, stealth! Thanks for sharing. And congrats all around.

I'm glad to see Mori releasing new versions of some of the more limited releases. it definitely eases the pain and strain of hunting down and spending $$$$$ on older releases--which I'm kind of tired of doing. So far, I like the new Booska Head and Jyrinco Head & Evil better than the originals, but I still can appreciate the OG versions just the same.

The milky Jyarinko pair are nice (would like to see a closeup of the Evil) but the OG clears are much more impressive in my experience.

What any RxH fan should know is that its creator has TONS of cool shit up his sleeve for 2009.


So what you're saying is people should hold off on expressing any opinion that could be construed as affecting future sales? What are we, fans or salespeople?

The hammer fell hard on Secret Base around the time of the Blue Stars and Chrome version fiascos. People said what was on their mind and stayed away from sub-par projects. But instead of heading off into the sunset, the company reinvented itself and came back strong in 2008. I don't buy a whole lot of new SB, but I do admire their gusto and business acumen.

If fans hold back and offer nothing but unconditional support, then all we're doing is congratulating the emperor on his set of new clothes. When Mori asks me a question in his shop, I give him a straight answer. Maybe I won't make the cover of fanboy mag, but I think honest, balanced criticism is the cornerstone of sincerity.

Anyway, "love it or hate it" attitudes are so GW. For relaxing times, make it Obama time!

+1 The photo shows it also. Just like my damnedron, the milky vinyl absorbs the features as it doesn't hit the light well.

What I like to read is actually people's different opinons and I think Mori is mature enough to read what he wants to read (even though he wouldn't come here anyway). Ultimately his sales and shelf value would determine the overall success of a particular release. So voicing your opinions good or bad here is ultimately what you expect from a forum?

I keep going back to that MH. It is so sweet... I don't care whether its GID (although next to the GID Chaosman is nice) or white now. Just release it! :D

Yes, INFORMED commentary is usually appreciated.

Don't hold your breath. It was incredibly painful to leave Tokyo without that gorgeous Mutant Head, or at least knowing it was coming. BUT, we do get to look forward to this guy:

If we understood correctly, there might even be optional GID armor availabe for this guy as a seperately bagged accessory.

Nooch.

I am taking a knee praying with you Rich. He told us, it would indeed be factory finished, which we assumed would be the masked eye painted, and free hand spraying the rest.

Fingers crossed BIGTIME. I loved this figure. Simple colors that go perfectly together, and of course the silver painted fingertips n' toes a la, old school Mutant Heads.

I'm right there with ya, this is the akro I have been waiting on. I like the idea of the GID armor sold on the side, but I think this with the bandana is perfect !
