This is proof that there is a toy god and he does answer my prayers. |

I know these things are very subjective, but can the two of you explain what you find special about this sculpt? I just don't get it. I can't imagine wanting one. What am I missing here? |

What am I missing here? Hi Harmond, for me there are several reasons why i'm excited: 1. I love Japanese mythology 2. the traditional Japanese Oni is a favorite 3. This figure is the vinyl version of the resin toy below which is one of my favs. 4. I like toys with bellies bigger than mine.  RESTORE Oni Mini Resin by toybot studios, on Flickr |

Dudes a force of Nautre. I don't like the proportions of the sketch. But I'll withhold my opionion till I see the sculpt because I'm sure it will be crazy. |

I like the mini better. I think I would need to see the final figure. Does anyone remember my reaction when I first saw the 2-headed Bemon? Some sculpts have to grow on you. |

What am I missing here? Not a problem When restore released the Jesus and kingdom heart resin figures a while back I wasn't really a fan. But I did like the sculpting and wanted to see what else they do. So I searched their website and came across this ...    I LOVE all things Japanese but old Yokai monsters and well just about anything oni are my favorite monsters of all. I love the look and feel of this older historical monster. I guess its has to do with a time when people actually believed these where real that appeals to me. Its not a toy but seeing this made me take a strong interest in this company because if they where making small toy like resin and then stuff like this ... well maybe this would get the resin treatment as well some day. I even contacted them to see how much this original was selling for ... lets just say more than I could afford  Not to long after that BAM this happened !  I was stoked as my hunch paid off ( Yes I did grab one of the resin pieces) NOW the news of this guy making his way all the way to vinyl is my prayer being answered. I have been following this before it was even considered for vinyl or even toy form. If I where to break down why this particular sculpt appeals to me .. I love oni and this is as true an oni you can get. The body shape, the form of the hands and feet etc. I like the new addition of the prayer papers covering the face. I just hope they keep the hanging bells. It also fits well into what I collect and if I can somehow score painting a run it will be full circle for me If restore gets fully into the vinyl game they could be one of my favorite new toy companies. |

Well articulated, Rich! I don't know that I could so thoroughly explain why I like what I do! I certainly think he/Restore is a very talented sculptor. I just don't care for his sculpts (other than the temple being carried by the Oni!). |

Thanks, Rich. Those pictures above are amazing. The sketch for the proposed vinyl does not hold the power of that sculpt, but a sketch would hardly do it justice. I guess I will have to wait to see how the vinyl comes out, but if it is as strong as the statute, then I will warm to it very fast. |
