 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
If the S and P were even slightly subtle, I would be going nuts over this thing. Still not as bad as the HMV Zagoran, in my opinion.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
Curious- so what do people think of the recent releases and one-offs from Hobby Complex? It looks like there were Dorols and Chiwos done in clear blue and pink/orange and painted over.
I kind of like them, but they're getting a little gaudy. Also, the Dorol loses some of its sculpt definition with the clear material.
There are so many one-offs being released that I'm having a hard time differentiating the normal versions.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
Yeah some of those Clear Dorols were sexy- especially like the clear orange.
Would just love to see an all clear clear Dorol- would look like an invisable predator.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
Check out the fingers, feet, and horns on the new clears. It looks like the vinyl is just uncoloured clear then painted to add red, green, blue etc. Here's a dead auction link with the clear horn, looks like a paint app is inside: http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n65884771It could be an illusion and its clear red and green vinyl etc though, none in hand yet. The Nagoya blues weren't clear btw (so far) they're the same light blue base as the earlier ones.

Nope I agree- woah! I might pick one up (if there any more about) I wonder if this means there is a large size edition of clear base Dorlos on the way- Although I was going by this logic on the Chiosu and it didnt look like that happened. Anyways, loving the way Shikaruna is experimenting with clear vinyl- just hope they paid their dues to hiddy first though.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
I have yet to pick up a SK piece, just going through all the pages of this thread and the flickr group evilrabbitry put up is making me want everything SK has out. I'm hoping to get a siberian for my first sk piece soon

I wish i could take credit for the shikaruna photo group but it's totally to Lixx's credit. I'm just one of many frequent uploaders.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database
Osiris, once you get a Shikaruna piece there will be no turning back. I was honestly very astounded by the pace Shikaruna Koubo was putting pieces out say just prior to Wonderfest 48. After unleashing the Dororu it appears that they have gone into massive overdrive with releases. I mean I'm actually having trouble keeping up with it anymore and I consider myself very database oriented. These clear painted dororu's are really amazing looking, I may just have to try an get one. I just do not have any space at all. I need detolf three badly (first purchase in the new year).

Shikaruna has honestly won me over completely, Im actually considering giving up some of my other pieces and dedicating one detolf just to shikaruna, they do take up massive space...but thats one of the cool things about them!

I put up some shelves in my toy/computer room just for my eventual Shikaruna collection. I'm a collector of everything, I love toys of all kinds. but recently I caught the kaiju bug and it's been all I've been thinking about. I don't have many pieces so far, but getting there. but i definitely have my heart set on getting a siberian and a hp dororu. I was just browsing YJA before and man if i had the scratch now I woul dbuy every shikaruns piece off there
