It is weird. By posting a picture with a random caption...it fuels the hype and you know that people will generally be interested and curious. If this guy isn't on the board, has never produced a toy and doesn't speak English then why the secrecy in saying his name? Who benefits from that?

Anyway Kozik had his "anarchy" and "smoking" toys that little kids thought were cool and rebellious...and this guy seems to be on the flipside with his "fuck the usa"..targeted at the "KAIJU" market.

To me this toy looks great and fun but the footstamp is completely unnecessary. I think people would have ultimately liked this thing without it.

fine... i admit.. it was me. i took a shit and said 'that looks like it would make a cool toy" i gave it eyes and a mouth and molded on a couple more logs and wahlaaa.. articulation.
the first run of these will be available through davidborn.. you know where to find him

and somewhere along the way my stamp for the foot got lost in translation... it was supposed to say "fuck you essay"

Got to admit that the guy is a marketing genius of some kind to generate this much discussion on his first toy.
It's like a buzz-generating cruise missile aimed right at the heart of skullbrain.
It would be really cool if the whole thing was an elaborate hoax.
Look close - can you be sure those aren't just CG renderings????

Wow, must be a slow week in kaijuland if we're still talking about this...I keep hoping this thread would be buried on page 2 by now, but no it's still here. Argghh I just shot myself in the foot again and given this beast more life.

It's too bad it's not the Bemon guy. If it had been and he had done this as a tongue-in-cheek poke at the rumor he was some kind of xenophobe it would have actually been funny.

I also like how the paint, articulation and poses make them almost look like two different sculpts

wtf? what's the precedent for this?

this is the type of thing that makes it that much easier to do wonky shit with the market...I know we've basically become a kind of free focus group for many producers, but let's not hand it to them on a platter. do we really think the maker give a fuck? this will only make it easie to make less than needed to drive the price up...ugh.
