From VP (images too):

Quote:
Intheyellow’s impressive lineup for their premiere Kaiju for Grown Ups (KFGU) series continues with the unveiling of a new figure from Buff Monster. Kaiju collectors will be relieved to see that this new figure definitely is done in the Japanese monster tradition.Though truthfully, we look at KFGU as In The Yellow’s artist series rather than Kaiju per se. The design is a good representation of Buff’s Kaiju inspired art work, down to the drippy textures.

This first edition is clear with pink, gray and black spray. It stands 13cm tall (~5 inches), is limited to 100 pieces, and will retail for 6300 yen ($64). Dropping at the tail end of this month.


I gotta say, I love this. The clear is awesome, but I can't wait to see it in some sort of pearl-gray/glitter vinyl.

I agree with hms. This is wack in my opinion. Buff Monster lost his hype. He should bomb more and lay off the vinyl figures for a whyle.

What? You guys aren't "relieved to see that this new figure definitely is done in the Japanese monster tradition?" Haters.

I think KFGU has some fun stuff... definitely not taking the toys too seriously as Kaiju. Between KFGU and Scarecrow's Old Skool Kaiju garbage, I would much rather collect KFGU.

Breasts are not monstrous. I mean ... um ... you know what I mean. Breasts are nice things and do not destroy Tokyo. I mean ... well, yes they do sometimes ... er ... I think I'll just shut up now and not buy things with x eyes.

Seconded! . . . although I think I may be off David Uglys Christmas card list for saying so on KR!

I think this is rad, I can pick up my gf a piece of vinyl that she will love and is done in a style I like as well. Sludgy sperm monster with boobs? Awesome. A lot of japanese stuff sucks worse than this, given that the KFGU line sucks, at least he got this piece made and went about one of the only outlets western designers have to make some nice clear vinyl. The X eyes don't remind me of Kaws at all either, people have had that style forever, kaws just made it lame by slapping it on everything (I know you saw those sleeping bag shoes) and banking off its already established fame, whether that was designers or famous icons. At least Buff made something that was somewhat original and has been able to update his characters over the years. Maybe if he had a japan store more people on here would think he was awesome.

Also I have seen tons of vagy boob monsters and even a few wiener ones on here. Many lives have been destroyed by those things, even in Tokyo :lol:

Buff whats the ordering info on this, can I pre-order? I keep missing stuff and my gf might kill me if she sees this and I don't have it for her on Xmas
