 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
As a non attendee, here are my thoughts...
I think Gargamel were overwhelmed when their customs last year went really fast, as I recall. The demand for "custom" toys by them, many are aware , increased dramatically the last few years.
Plying the route of custom extravaganza this year, I'd like to think, was for mainly more people, reaching out to more fans, for both attendees and non attendees, for a chance to own an awesome toy by them.
We are not sure about the real reason why custom toys were favored by them this year, as opposed to having some standard releases.
I think, by creating an SDCC line up takes up, eats up a lot of energy and resource, compared for example to customizing an existing sculpt? Im not sure. But this year, gave way and highlighted an awesome debut of my most favorite sculpt from them in standard size---Me=happy! Yey!
With the market of mostly from America in mind, and not many of you from the US have the time and energy, can really fly out to Japan to attend the shows at Thrashout, SDCC must be an obvious venue for the barrage of customs.
I hate to second guess the guys at Gargamel, but I am really happy that I scored two of the pieces I think rocked and really love from the Gargamel booth this year.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
Anyone know what the little raygun spaceman with rivets is called? He's way cool, a great sculpt, character for days. Is it based on a pre-existing character or toy?

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
The painted Spaceman from the show were probably all painted on test shots from the fActory, usually when a toy is first cast the first pulls are flesh. So the guys probably got a few and painted them for the show. I don't think you would want to count them as an actual production run.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
Has there/Is there any word of a standard release of the little Space guy or Full-sized Deathra? Like a release super7/distro stores will carry? I don't quite have the connections to get hookups straight from shows, and I want a full sized Deathra! =)

phil Koji did say that the Deathra will have standard releases in the future, unlike the Mibora.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
Nice choice for a first version. I liked some of the customs from SDCC but this version is great.

Wow. Maxaltoman called it when he talked about one in TO colours. Would look so nice teamed up with the TO Zag from the 2009 lucky bag.

Aren't they going to have to sell a boatload of these as standard production releases to justify and pay for the complete new sculpt? Not like slapping a Mibora head on the existing Zag body...

Talking specifically about the Thrashout version . . . highly desirable with good reason!
