Fingers crossed if it becomes a toy the quality is better than the p.o.s Megoru-Kun |

I'm pretty confident that we'll see this guy in toy form sooner or later. BxH tends to do this a lot right? Feature the toy on a t-shirt first, then make it, or visa versa. edit: an even cooler t-shirt photo

What issues did your Megoru have G? Plastic felt cheap and thin, visible mould lines in various places (fair few BxH have this but nowhere near as bad), iffy paint app on the head. Seemed like a half-baked excuse for a release. |

I can't imagine it being worthwhile on such a niche product but could it be a bootleg?

If it is a bootleg (not sure why anyone would bother) it came in a very legit looking sealed bag |

Mine had identical issues - and got it from the source in Japan. Not sure if it was QC, or just design issues. As I recall, and I got rid of mine, I didnt like the way it seemed glued together - the shell being a separate piece. I generally make it a rule to focus only on Jp vinyl BxH releases, although all the cool earlier one are made in China, and my Ken's look pretty damn good I have to say. Given the price of BxH releases, and the strong BxH All other toys suck aesthetic, I wish they would make 'em all in Japan. Anyway, looking forward to seeing this guy cme out - could be my first BxH addition in a while - having passed on the Dissisit hands...... gforce wrote: Scary Andy wrote: gforce wrote: Fingers crossed if it becomes a toy the quality is better than the p.o.s Megoru-Kun I've found QC pretty much standard across the board . . not great but better than most western stuff.

Id say if your passion isnt making toys anymore then dont bother just cuz you can... I actually like that SB is focusing its output elsewhere if Hiddy isnt that into the fight figs anymore. |

Apparently it's Hikaru's take on one of his favourite characters . . . The Creature from the Black Lagoon. The Secret Base watermark is a Japanese blog/store. |
