Mr Grzlli Atom wrote: ANd it isn't just a vintage piece Marusan has released repro's. I could see your point if this version looked just like the repros. But clearly the back, arms, and legs are different. It's one thing if it was done without permission, which is only speculation, but these changes are definitely "new creative input." BTW I don't own any KillerJ figures, nor do I plan to start collecting them, but I think the attacks are unwarranted.

He has obviously taken a vintage figure and put his stamp on it. I think it is an improvement over the original, too. I think it looks almost 100% the same. Some changes, but not enough to even count as "his stamp." Doesn't he have to carve a "J" or a star or some sort of symbol into it? As far as I can tell that's the only "unique" thing with "his" sculpts - otherwise there's no style at all that can be attributed to Killer J.

Saruman = Marusan Except that the name is Sarumon with an "o"...but still.

 Re: Killer J Sarumon
Some of those colorways really look great. Love the idea of the BombPop tribute LASH. That was one of my favorite popsicles.
Were the groupings above all painted by the same person? There's a consistency to them which makes me think so.

Really cool! I especially like the one with the blue and black camo-style apps, and the metallic blue with the orange feet!
