yeah, as stated further up M1Go have done a few. But the figure they've done hasn't been stamped with a logo.

I still think it's odd how the skullbee has lots of company logo's on it, but then most of the stores are smaller in scale, and certainly not international.

Ah, I missed that. Medicom's done some HMV exclusives too according to a quick search that I just did.

As for stores in Florida -- I've never seen one anywhere.

CCP had these Hedorahs earlier this year:

Thanks, that's actually exactly what I was imagining. The Hedorah gobbling on some sweet HMV pole.

Call him what you want, but I think it ROCKS!!!!! Even with the HMV. I actually like it!! A LOT!!

just remeber...he's gargamel...not sb...

I just dig Zags! I like the paint job. I want an efp3 zag!

Yeah, but I think I have space for one last non-SB figure

I definitely like the simple two color contrast. I'm indifferent about the HMV but it's growing on me.

I was specifically referrring to the HMV lettering - HMV is awesome in that they have dones tons of store exclusives for years now and usually there isn't much more branding than the pink store color. I think its also awesome that Gargamel is now involved with promotions at this level... I just wish it didn't have the HMV letters..

except for this example

my Medicom Nasdat was an HMV exclusive.

co-branding with a large successful company is seen as a 'positive' in Japanese commercial culture. In effect, Gargamel is now as 'important' as HMV.

there isnt the negative knee-jerk reaction we have here.

so people can order by phone or line up hours at the HMV in order to get one?

when will they be available?

Kind of understand now...See...it's a little different because we don't have HMV in the States. If it was a zag with 7-11 on the stomach I might be put off but HMV means nothing to me so I actually kinda of dig it now.

I think the colors on the Zag are superb. I could care less what it says on the belly.

i'm in agreement....can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on one....ya suppose s7 is gonna get em??

I think since these are another (huge, chain) store's exclusive, it won't be available to S7. With that being said, I'm obviously not the horse's mouth, so I guess it could happen.

man that is one cool paint job.....i'd love to have one in my collection too....

I would LOVE a 7-11 Zag NEXT

dont mind collab with hmv to much but it could be done more subtle -
to me (hip hop style) letters on chest harm asthetics/beauty of this
fxxking awesome figure.

loved the S7 x sb x cure hedorah too -
how comes same colorway on both???
...is it spy industrial espionage or secret agreements between sb and
gargamel???
...rumble monsta pharaoh next???

My favorite corporate tie-in so far, the Lawson's SAFS:

Hip Hop letters, really? I don't see that at all. When I think of Hip Hop letters I think of stylized fonts, like in tagging, or I guess also (early 90's style) bubble letters. But this is just a plane text font, no style at all. That's why it kind of doesn't bug me, it's such a generic font and HMV has no meaning to me.

Great colouring but (IMO) the lettering kinda kills it! . . . I really dig the subtlety of the Helios branding on the Pollard. Even just the use of HMV's corporate colour woulda been nice, but I'm finding the lettering is just too blatant.

We hit it all the the time in our business . . . every client wants a big f*ck-off logo!

don't I fucking know it!

The HMV Zag is awesome!!! I can't wait till they come out with a walmart version!!!

Seriously though, this Zag is pretty sweet~
