These are pretty missable.

Reminds me of the "custom" real head (I think) glue on crystal someone posted a long time ago. A waste of time..... to each their own.

These customs are some of the few "diablos" I've ever felt drawn towards. They were never a very strong sculpt, but these work for me. Too bad I don't really collect customs.

How did the Last Kaiju Standing, the black Dokugan, the standard BLObPUS, the Blobpi, the Andagon, and the Docross all end up with the same guy after a "lottery"? Tokyo Cube must run a really tight ship ...

I know I entered on several pieces. Somehow six (6) customs went to one guy (there were eight total):

Resale value on these is likely nil so Tokyo Cube did me a favour really, less money tied up if I need to sell. Plus there's one less BLObPUS collector to compete with now too.

I'm done supporting BLObPUS and Tokyo Cube since they both seem to be taking douchery to the next level.

Always did wonder about lotteries.

i think thats a little harsh on blobpus though.
dun think he has anything to do with the subsequent distribution.
i agree with u though, "lotteries" are often questionable.

A complete statistical anomoly then.

This guy must pick power ball lottery winners in his spare time, he's just that lucky.

He won six out of eight customs, the lion's share of the show.

So of the seven pieces sold by lottery only two people "won", and the big winner was TAG with six custom pieces (easily the best of the bunch). The Diablo was sold on the webstore btw.

Its your perogative to distribute nearly the whole show to TAG, Tom.

Its my choice to never do business with Tokyo Cube, BLObPUS, or Hanawa ever again. I'll save the money or give it to Secret Base and I'm sure TAG can pick up the slack by supporting BLObPUS since his shrinking fan base just got that much smaller.

I wasn't upset about losing until I saw lottery results that make no sense at all.

Six (6) out of eight (8) customs all won by one guy with a toy museum.

Whatever.

one thing that could be interesting to know is how many entries has been sent for this lottery.

if there were only 3 persons (A,B and Krudler), well, I guess we could't say anything about the result.
If there were 80 persons, then yeah, something smells fishy !

Its certainly possible. I could easily lose the three I requested (standard BLObPUS, black Dokugan, and Last Kaiju Standing) on three seperate 50/50 coin flips if only three people entered and one dropped out or there were very few potential buyers.

In any event I'm done supporting anyone involved in this and do regret buying the two Hanawa canvases since this has left a bitter taste. Glad only one canvas was from the actual Blob show.

Perhaps jl is right and noone else entered thus permitting TAG to buy almost the whole custom toy lot.

I know I stood down from this particular lottery as those prices are way to rich for my blood...
