You know, at some of the Japanese cons there are tons of anime girl garage kits that are 50% jubblies and 50% girl and all the weird guys with billion dollar cameras and towels wrapped around their foreheads take mad gigs of pictures of them from every possible angle... but I think the only thing that could possibly rival the "figure" up above this post in terms of bad taste are the ultra-creepy "loli" models (which are completely and totally unforgivable).

It's like someone decided to take everything wrong with "urban vinyl" (generic "Asian" influence, bad QC/production, lousy color combos, boring design, dumb shoes) and put it all in a blender and poured that thing out. Do people actually buy these?

Agreed. Completely.

"Generic 'Asian' influence"...or cultural appropriation? Either way ya slice it...crap.

Oh man those hedorans and the godzillaya cat customs are ridiculously Horrible~ ugh

Oh man...I just checked the Esc Toy website and it looks like maybe this is the best of the lot.

Even worse... someone actually went to the trouble of bootlegging these:



Another great reason to farm your production out to China!!!

Please, God - make the big shoes go away.

not this eric scarecrow crap again
didnt we go through enough bashing when NYCC hit

Yes, please, please do - those things SUCK!!!

OMG!!1 that ________(a)_______ has got a _____(b)________ in it's hand, I'm buying two!!!!

A. Hoodrat girl, Hoodrat dude, Hoodrat dude with hoodie, Hoodrat girl with hoodie and warpaint, Freaky Kat, Cute animal, Vaguely reptilian item, Monkey, Zombie, Robot

B. Can of Spraypaint, Microphone, Knife, Record, Tape, Larger Can of Spraypaint, Cigarette, Gasmask, Smaller Monkey, Money, Different Kind of Microphone

Urban Vinyl roolz.

Tokyoplastic was not happy with the way the Opera Dudes came out. Flying Cat took a couple of liberties in the production and distribution of the figures that is why TP no longer works with them. All future TP releases from us and Toy Tokyo will at least meet or surpass the quality of the first Geishas.

BTW the final color of the Black Koguma will be a bit different from these images, there will be more contrast between the greys and black so the chair won't look at "leathery".

the speaker chairs look pretty cool actually...

I would kill to have a working speaker on that Vin...

mixed feelings on the Scrappers stuff. I haven't seen any of his original art so I have no context for it. "LSD" hedoran is pretty awesome. Great colors all around, but the design maybe gets a little too literal for my tastes. "Weed" tokoji looks more like a rural meth mom whose been severely beaten by her dealer boyfriend.

I get a headache looking at this:

I actually like this party poster:

I love TT, but I don't buy any of the western stuff they carry...

I don't know why 90% of this stuff is even being posted here...it's pointless really...that ES stuff does really well...but not with anyone I know here...

American Idol is the number 1 TV show as well...it has it's place. You wouldn't talk about AI on a Norwegian Death Metal site, would you?

(well, maybe...)

Which is the ES stuff??

I know what you are saying that 90% of this stuff is garbage or shouldn't be posted here.
But its kinda fun to see the junk that is being released and bought up during SDCC.
Don't worry, after SDCC, I'm not going to be adding to this thread or starting new ones about other sucky releases.

or maybe we can keep posting to one thread as a constant dump for bad moods.

feel like yelling? go in the new KR release thread and vent about something

It won't work. We'll just end up talking about food and coffee.

i just had some great goat cheese i bought at the farmers market. it had rosemary and garlic rolled on the outside of it.

ES = Erick Scarecrow...

just referenced his stuff because it was the most recent toy to take the SB Bat to the head...heh.

Like that thread about not posting auction links morphed into the Coffee Talk thread?

let's not forget about the cornbread and biscuits...

all of a sudden I'm craving sweet ice tea with lemon...

Without hate, there can be no love.

I did, although it encompassed more than KR. Have at it.
