 Re: Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ?

Not taking credit for being the first of the current wave (clear fink shit) etc. Even if that's what they meant, it's still a pretty lame claim. Why? And are we really surprised the translation isn't spot on when we get grow in the dark figures?

 Re: Secret Base is Responsible for "See-Thru Soft Vinyl" ?
Because (going with your interpretation of the statement), there's no way that Secret Base was responsible for clear vinyl toys aimed at adult collectors becoming popular. There were other companies doing it long before they did, and on a larger scale. This would be like Starbuck's claiming that they made coffee popular.

Just to clarify though- did Puffy invent the remix?
