GEEK!

These dudes look like they'd be a blast to hang out with.

While I initially didn't care too much for the sculpt, I'm now finding myself interested. Thanks for the insight!

Same here

Anybody got any background information on GEEK! the toy makers? Hadn't seen much from them up until recently.. Have missed out on other toys? Are they from USA? Japan?

Pretty sure they're from Japan, beyond that, I have no idea. I tried finding info as well, there doesn't seem to be much around, at least not that i could find.

Thanks! Maybe Art Whore should do an interview with these guys! So mysterious!!

It's my understanding that Juyjin was sculpted by the owner of Medicom Toys.

Medicom's boss Ryu sculpts? Serious??

Ok, furhther reading hs led me to believe that Yaghan People might have incorrectly been named, as I think the Selknam people were the ones in the traditional body paint/costumes.... though basically every south american culture had their own style.... But yeah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selknam_people Lots of blog entries, artwork etc. inspired by them it seems.

I won the green and black from Mandarake, I think it's the best colorway yet, but I may be biased

Congrats Joe!
Good choice on the colorway, it's my fave as well.

Loving the green and black as well. Only small gripe- and I just noticed it- is the midriff on these versions are not painted as the others were. Looks like it should be matte black on the "black people' version and pink on the "white people" version.

Man, you're totally right. Not a big deal, but the contrast would be nice...

Sweet. I like the finished product better. I see it comes with a mini Zofbie. So I'm guessing this was a collaboration with Zollmen?! I wonder if the zombie is painted too

Mine didn't come with a Zofbie...

If any one decides they aren't feeling their Medicom Jyujin hit me up, I'd love to have that version next to my TAG. Love this toy.

Three GEEK's Jyujin mixed-parts at Doki Doki Osaka Sofubi event on December 1st.








Yaghan People @ Angel Abby version:

I just bought the new Jyujin edition. Love the colors!

TAG x Medicom Jyujin by GEEK! TAG Exclusive ENISHI Green Edition:

^ ^ ^ Congrats, first time I've seen that colour way and my favorite so far.

That mixed part looks great. Sucks I missed out on so many of the recent releases.

Anyone hear back about the acid color way from mandarake yet?

It reminds me of this bigfoot hoax photo. I couldn't find a larger one unfortunately.

That's exactly the inspiration.



Bigger pics here.


By the way, I just noticed this:
