Re: Old School Kaiju 2 Even if people like it, it bugs me that he calls his urban vinyl stuff "old school kaiju," which it's not.

Re: Old School Kaiju 2 quote (from another figure):
Old Skool Kaiju series takes place in a hybrid Hip-Hop and Kaiju universe.
Barf.
I was never sold on the East West fusion thing.
This is a classic example of why that is...

Re: Old School Kaiju 2 I dont necessarily mind this. Yeah, there is a huge hip-hop influence in his other designs, but this one, if you didn't know it was from him you couldnt tell.

Re: Old School Kaiju 2 shouldn't it be carrying an old school spraycan too?
or carrying a boombox?
oh wait, old school kaiju just means putting an anarchy symbol on it right?
my bad...i shouldn't post about things I'm not knowledgeable on.

Re: Old School Kaiju 2 I think it's funnier that the kanji used in the logo literally mean "old school."
The attempted hipness of this line bugs me, but overall, this one ain't bad. The new KFGU stuff is much worse.

Re: Old School Kaiju 2 Am I the only one who thinks it kind of looks like Bounty Hunter. That's not good, but the more I see it the more I pick up a BXH influence.

Re: Old School Kaiju 2 It just looks like a green clayface to me. Another melty looking toy except with claws

Re: Old School Kaiju 2 from the pic i don't see anything horribly offending about it other than them trying to pass it off as 'old skool kaiju' and the spelling of the word 'skool'

I think this has more of a claim to the term than RxH, which most seem to assume is 'kaiju.'

I guess that's not saying much, huh?

I think this has more of a claim to the term than RxH, which most seem to assume is 'kaiju.' Who started calling Real Head kaiju anyway? No one in Japan that I know of. I am not sure where it started but fight figures are not kaiju. Are Real Head fight figures? Maybe a new name needs to be used, how about Real Head.
