Don't get me wrong, I love the artwork - but it makes the thing look rather stoned than disturbing...

Edit: I was asked to delete this post, because we can't let the riff-raff know about these things...

A photo from Shigeru-san:

Sorry I haven't read all the rules of this message board. I just assumed I was helping fellow collectors by disseminating information.

I didn't realize you were all waiting in Sofubi Alley to shiv each other over the latest spray-painted bath toy from Japan.

You motives were just but your realizations hold a greater truth . . . it's often a case of handbags at dawn in the world of über limited Japanese vinyl!

That's a "No Shit" statement, my friend... Maybe you guys should make Skullbrain.org panties - just so you could get them into a twist at times like this.

Nice...Just out of curiosity...Have you or Shigeru-San discussed color choices?

Well not everyone is so uptight, unless it involves their religion, and I guess for some toys may be that. Post what you want and let them squirm. More info the better. We're all friends here, right?

I'd love to see more sketches.

Shigeru- san has asked me to keep the rest of the details of our collaboration a secret until it is ready to be released.

But you will all shit yourselves, I promise.

Blah blah blah.

On your way to 20 000 posts

I would shit myself if I woke up to see one of them on my shelf . . . creepy lil' bugger!

I just like to shit myself so I hope COOP can man up to his word!

This guy is just so fun to draw! My drawings certainly aren't as awesome as COOP's; I can't wait to see what's in store.

wheres that little emoticon that rolls around laughing...

great pics winu!

I'm starting to get PMs about this, so just so everybody knows: I will not have any of these for sale. Shigeru will be selling them the same way he normally does. We haven't discussed numbers, so I'm assuming it will be the same size edition he normally does.

This isn't a moneymaker for me - I contacted Shigeru because I wanted a toy, just like anybody. I offered artwork in trade, and he asked me to collaborate on an edition. This is a total labor of love.

Shame people sending you pm's about this, sorta seems a bit disrespectful imho I'm sure those who are really interested in scoring one will get a chance.

I wasn't mad at all about getting PM'ed - I just wanted to post the info on the thread and save myself from having to type it out 25 times!

flooded!!

PM'd


+1

lol

No point now anyways! . . . .

WTF gave you that idea?!? The runs sizes on these have been close to non-existent...

love Coop's work, and methinks a collab like this merits a larger run size, otherwise those who get them will more than likely be even more tempted than ever to take advantage financially. Coop's involvement only jacks up the flipper threat...

Maybe i should have added the word eventually after chance

I would love prints of both Joels and Coops artwork for the toys, Far more then the vinyl itself haha.
