 Chou Chou Looks cool, but for fuck's sake, can we stop exploiting the word "kaiju"?

Re: Chou Chou cornbluth wrote: new baseman fig? Yup. Supposed to be part of the KFGU series I think, thus my initial reaction.

Re: Chou Chou I like it. At least it isn't an attempt at Kaiju. Can't blame him for using Japanese quality.

Re: Chou Chou Yeah, I like it too. But I just wish it wasn't part of the KFGU line.

Re: Chou Chou Fair enough. I never really considered KFGU kaiju.

Re: Chou Chou It just looks like baseman to me which isn't bad but I'm not a fan of his translation to toys.

Re: Chou Chou I really like this toy, I however do not see it as Kaiju.

Re: Chou Chou "Chou chou" means "stinky" in Mandarin. Maybe he picked the word up when he was in Taiwan last year, eating chou tofu or something...

Re: Chou Chou I'm not really a Wonderwall fan on the best of days, but this sculpt just doesn't look like it maintains the feel of the painted version. The nose is too round, the muzzle is too small, the head is too round, the mouth is too wide and the arms taper too much. I don't really like the neck joint or the angle the head meets at either.
Maybe it's just me. I'm sure Baseman had final say in the sculpt's approval and if it's OK by him who am I to say? But I just feel that with "simple" designs everything has to be dead-on or it comes off looking cheap.

Re: Chou Chou I'd have to see this from up close in the flesh to judge it. Curious what color schemes they'll use for the future 'Stinky' versions.
