 Fun Hypothetical Question
Ok so I was thinking about a fun toy related hypothetical question and was interested to see what people say. What if there was a natural disaster that stripped all the color off of Kaiju leaving all Kaiju in the world unpainted...BUT you had a box that could fit 3 toys of any size but just THREE (3) TOYS! Which three would you save? Now since my collection is not that huge Its not super hard for me to answer 1) Rasta Bemon 2) Real Head x Lil Japan Mutant Chaos 3) Ojo Rojo (Green) For those of you with collections large and small im interested in which painted toys you value the paint on most

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
It's not a disaster... now we all have unpainted test shots!
1. Blobpus - TLK (special paint ver. from SF45) 2. Sunguts x Cronic - Camguts 3. Dream Rocket - Razor Pegimon #7/8
I guess I value these because they were made in very low quantities, and as a consequence, I think they represent the artists' work at their best.
Interesting question, and good topic.

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
honestly, i wouldn't mind most of my eastern stuff unpainted. i would probably save some of my western stuff just because it focuses more on paint apps than sculpts and would look shitty blank, whereas the eastern stuff can be rad without the paint.
though if only my "skullbrain approved" shelves were destroyed, i guess it would have to be the customs.
-FHP skullcaptain -lash popsoda -toybot popsoda
honorable mentions include RFSO and lummage custom smoguns.

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
1. My Skullman 2. A clear green RxH figure that was given to me by a friend.
The monetary value is noting compared to the sentimental value of these 2 toys. Everything else is just a toy.

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
This is a simple one. I'd save my 1/35 Melusine figure:  And my Melusine Kubrick:  And my Robocon custom painted up to look like them:

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
These would be mine - To me these three figures offer up the best of everything - character, colour, sculpt (texture)

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
Well it's only kaiju that are being stripped of paint, so I don't have to worry about any of my KAWS stuff.
#1 - Bemon (orange & blue as pictured above by Jay) because unpainted Bemons are lame. #2 - Toxic Phantom (Hiro Grim) because the colors are so awesome. #3 - Fighting Spirit Chaos (yellow & red) because unpainted Chaos' are lame and the colors are so awesome.

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
Plover - you've got too many awesome Bemons. If you ever need to put one up for adoption let me know.

but the natural disaster would then make these higher quantities if they survived the devastation. my pics would be: 1. invading virus popsoda 2. campus popsoda 3. secreter skullbrain with neon green on left, neon pink on right on the white brain with the gold/black body. i don't know the exact name of the dude, but I love this guy over the rest.

 Re: Fun Hypothetical Question
Dean: Those are great choices. Beautiful pics of them also. I'd have to agree with you on the Deathra and Balbagon. For me: 1. Rangeas 2. Deathra 3. Balbagon Not only are these great sculpts, but all three are really fun to play with.
