Flippers are not silly. If they are buying multiples in anticipation of price increases instantly on delivery, they seriously need to have their brains examined. Rather than the flippers, I think this release will see every fringe collector who always wanted a goga in the collection or seeing one in real for the first time getting one. When in hand, some of these collectors will see that the goga don't fit into their collection or the excitement of finally owning a piece of AA wears off or HxS/Nag are more bankable than AA since they remained unattainable or for whatever reasons, this is when the sell-off starts and your best chance of getting a goga under retail happens. Not a bad strategy.
At near 20,000yen a pop including delivery, I think one should really like these before ordering since you are unlikely to be able to get back what you paid. But who knows

I hate to be a pessimistic curmudgeon but I am passing on these right now. Not that I don't like them although the paint does seem a little lack luster for AA.
Me too. After loving the animations from way back and being enchanted with the older releases, the colorways on these Gogas are a big disappointment. Easy pass for me...

Re: Anraku Photos!
Talk about a multiple discovery, everyone is making sea monsters. I prefer upright beasts, but I will reserve my judgement. Anraku is a master of texture, and if the bulk is there and the texture is there it could be very cool.

Looks like we'll be seeing the figure fairly soon...

I think there is also another figure coming soon (Teruryu Dora Golas).

This is why I don't get the raccoon/panda figure.
At the risk of sounding Trumpish... that panda is just stupid.

I also do not appreciate glutamine (similar style to the new bear) for its design but some versions of it make me crazy for the vinyl used and painting

Re: Anraku Photos!
That raccoon was one of the animations that he made a long time ago. Nobody remembers these things around here anymore? Fairly certain he worked in some type of advertising so it would make sense that he did a video/toy like this.
At the risk of sounding more "Trumpish", I can think of a lot of other "original designs" that people do around here that are way more "stupid" than this.
