Here here. New Akro is very sweet. A must pick up if the production figure turns out as nice as the sample.

+1

Would love some armor just for fun as well.
But armorless rocks.

I agree! this one is gangsta as shown.

I'm an armor fan myself, and wish that Mori would bestow the armor on more characters as he's done in some unpainted figures in his collection....even another armored Chaosman or two! But an armored Evil or Head would rule.

The funny part is, that Mori doesn't like armored figures, b/c it pushes the arms of the figures out too much, making the armored figures wider than others when standing them on a shelf. Hence all of the armorless Akros lately.

Seriously.

Ive been thinking about this.....

We all like the simple paints, but when we ourselves do them as customs it gets a meh or so so. I think its the fact that mori does it that it gets the instant wow factor. Mori has this mind control over us

I'm glad he is doing the free paint stuff. It keeps us older collectors happy

RxH is not dead, but for sure, is going through a metamorphosis. He is in the inbetween stage. Many my be jumping ship now but I'm sure in due time they will regret what they have sold off.

I think Mori has OCD. Can we get a doctor over there to slip him some meds ?

Can someone close suggest to him to make a armor without the vinyl under the arms. A slip on like the exohead stuff. That will solve that problem.

I also get bugged by this.
The armor makes their arms stick out.
Thus ruining my perfectly numbered balance.
But the armor is too cool to let it bug me that much.

Much Congrats on a special bachelor party Scott and even more so on you tying the knot

uh...Japanese culture? It's called precision.

"perfectly numbered balance"

o boy seems like someone else has a touch of the OCD as well.

Just shove em in there. That's what I do

They will fight it out amongst themselves for shelf space.

in response to LASH's comment:

This has crossed my mind too. I like lots of colors, but sometimes it's so amazing how Mori-san can do something so simple that works. (just look at the OB chaosman--two colors). not everything is a winner though.

I think a big part of it is that he also designed the canvas. too tired to break it down, but maybe you know what I mean.

I'm a RxH toy fan, but it's like a glimpse of the man. I'm a Mori fan in a way too.

I see a red rub Gatchigon in there. Thanks for the photos, both of you.

You don't understand.
It takes me hours to perfectly balance a shelf.
I get moody if I can't get it right.

I am not preaching just seen a few history videos on design lately. With many creative work be it fashion, art, design, toys etc...its really what you leave out in the end whether it be colors or details that makes it work. I think the Japanese know the art of simplicity!

True dat LS, I think you are right on the money there.

I find it difficult to look at shelves when the figure doesn't face out perfectly more than how they look side by side with other figures. My wife likes to put her toys in all different angles and I always get itchy and want to put them facing straight...

You guys are all nuts !

I was just making a joke, but yes you are right on.

I'm with Rich, I JUST CRAM THEM IN NO BALANCE IT'S CRAZY FUN!!!!! MIX THEM WITH TOYS FROM OTHER COMPANIES, SCREW IT TO HELL AND LIVE THE WILD LIFE! Get this....I DON'T EVEN USE SHELVES OR GLASS CASES WAAHH?>?!?!? I respect Mori for making them HIS choices, but man I'd like more armor too.

Ummm...pics?

The exact same thing I've been saying, but when I post it, it (according to LAGANG) makes me less of a REAL fan? How does that work?

^ what he said.
