 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
Pictures are kind of dark so its hard to get a full feel for the figure, but it looks better than the R.I. in my opinion!

Looks like the base is needed for support . . .

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
for me,,it evokes images of masai herdsmen..    i likes it so far,,seems to fit with the "next level" sb range...although not too sure how many countless colourways can be done of it??

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
Figure looks great - but hoping it doesnt have to have the base.

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
Base or no base. It's a vast improvement on the R.I. It's this one right?

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
that must be the art that was used for the new figure ! if somebody asked you, before this new figure was done, if you could imagine that this pen/ink artwork can be turned into a toy.....wouldnt you also have said "no way" ? incredible !!

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
I just fear the day they do a Usugrow fight figure . . . a Skullwing x Atom Age Vampire hybrid with a Usugrow twist would melt my brain!
(as long as it was self-supporting)

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
jebcrow wrote: audiodifficulties wrote: So another statue basically. that seems to be the "next level",,,,more statue than toy How many points of articulation does the RI have, two? Although I hear you can move the arms if you try hard enough... I like it. As Jürgen already pointed out, it's an astonishingly accurate transition from art to figure/statue.

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
I guess thats why the RI doesn't appeal to me, besides the whole "urban" look to it. I like toys, not arts made into something.

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
looks interesting - thought of this for some reason...  maybe it's the dramatic lighting in those photos

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
I think I will be told very soon that I was wrong...but is it really possible to make this a vinyl figure ? I can imagine that it is very difficult due to the slim "arms" and the rest of the thin long elements....more likely to be made of resin or metal ???

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
don't forget vinyl does not need to be hollow, could be a combo injection/rotary molding

Not possible if its one piece, but it you divided the arm in to say 2 or 3 places its possible.

 Re: new Usugrow figure!?
I prefer toys myself but I also love my ho chi mihn bust (puts on flame retardent suit) so even if it has no articulation it should still be sweet in hand
