yeah I know :D

Sun Jun 04, 2006 1:52 am

those real x heads are the shit. when are they coming to the US?

Sun Jun 04, 2006 1:55 am

though I'm no expert , but there is probably a chance that S7 will get the ramune versions as they are technically a 'regular release'. Seems like S7 has been fairly mum on what they are & aren't getting. Probably to keep ya'll frenzied. :D

Awesome shwag. Thanks for the pics.

Sun Jun 04, 2006 6:58 am

i want that pink/red monster q skeleton body. :evil:

There are some cool colorways that seem to me to be languishing on weak sculpts; like the cronic (still can't like 'em) and that larger, glittery cat guy. And the RxH stuff is just streaking up to really astronomical prices on YJA.

What'd I really like to know is if the Sunguts stuff that was there is as impressive in person as the photos have looked like they are.

Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:23 am

Man - not one, but TWO all-glow Gumos. If you ever feel like parting with one, drop me a line.

Nice stuff all round, though.

Guess thats the trick of indie toy making, sculpts are expensive and colorways are cheap. Does make the guys get more creative with the materials and finishes, filling them with stuff, changing up head sculpts... but if people don't dig the initial sculpt then... I think Marmit definitely pulled one out of the fire though with the vinyl inner for Skull Butt Head.

And people are bidding on it. Mori-kun should stop selling the limited items at the show and just put them directly on YJA himself. How would people feel about that??

Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:27 am

Love the Skull Butt Heads.

Selling directly on YJA would make perfect sense to me. May as well eliminate the middle man and put a bit more in the pocket of the artist.

Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:32 am

more than a bit, ESPECIALLY if people are willing to pay $250 bucks for a figure mori-kun sold for $35 this morning!

Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:46 am

Yikes!!!! YJA is getting out of control (like eBay). I say go Mori-kun should go for it...

Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:49 am

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was fuckin crazy at the RH booth.

Sun Jun 04, 2006 8:57 am

only thing missing was a couple of Balzac fans to mix it up!!

Sun Jun 04, 2006 9:22 am

If Mori wants to keep selling at festivals, he should have someone dressed up like an overstuffed Bigaro, and you've got to pin him to win the right to buy the toys. And if you want the secret fig, you've got to fight off a Chaos too.

Or he could open up his table at completely random times. Although the festival organizers probably wouldn't like that.

Baikin suggested he start an hour later - when the dealers have to be working. I was thinking to make people show their entrance ticket (dealers don't get them) or just say no to people with Dealer stickers on their person.

Hey, THAT'S a GOOD idea! ...The problem with not selling to people with Dealer stickers is that they would just take them off to go shopping (as they already do!).
