Re: WHF this Tuesday the buddha with the bell is a Tezuka Osamu character from Denboku, the Octopus sculpt is a from a 300 year-old japanese print. The sculpt is VERY detailed. The sculptor gleefully showed me a picture of what's going on under the strategically placed piece of fabric.

The sculptor gleefully showed me a picture of what's going on under the strategically placed piece of fabric. I'm guessing it's some interspecies lovin'. I'd like to see that original print. Love this Inazuman side-by-side pic (all pics are from data's set) ... Along with the actual original figures, it'd be interesting to see all of the various makers' homages shown together - Inazuman as interpreted by RxH, Cronic, etc. - I'd be fascinated to see them displayed that way, I'm sure there are many pieces that I've never properly recognized as the homages they are.  Here's a new approach - We've always had paint variants, then Marnon brought us tongue variants, now here are (at least three) variants by cup size, and maybe another by buttage? (Not clear whether the second pic may show similar booty-breadth variants, from 'prepubescent narrow' to 'Wide Load' - ?) Thanks as always to data for these pics - I just wish I'd known that great Gabari was dropping! I have all the others, but if this one is an edition of 10-or-less ... well ... (Sigh.)

I know you're in it for the long haul...and so am I...so let's sit this round out and let the flippers take the hit...(I say this after I just bought the Nougaki and Dorome for YJA prices)... I have an addiction. lorne

Re: WHF this Tuesday Hokusai did a number of octopus prints. There's even a Kaneto Shindo movie about it.

Re: WHF this Tuesday Saw the Green Zag in person today, and it's a keeper. Just like the orange one it looks way better in person than on the blog. Good thing they're cheap on YAJ! That Black End is also VERY impressive in person. An imposing hunk of vinyl if I've ever seen one. Can't vouch for the octogirl, though
