Yeah, I guess unless you see the whole package together you will not understand. The T shirt and CDs were Shigeru's idea and Greg liked the fact that he wanted to offer something different with his toys. As for the shirt design, it's actually a zombie Barom1 being crucified upside down to have a connection with the toy. The swastikas are the symbols for Japanese buddhist temples thus the flip. The CD was another flip off of SigueSigueSputnik which Shiger likes alot.

Everything looks amazing. Worth every penny if you ask me.
Nice work man!

It would be nice if rock bottom poor man versions ( unassembled, unpainted, no header, in a ziploc) would come out once in a while to counterbalance these All-Dressed Deluxe releases. I would try to buy one of those.


^^ Hey, even the Minutemen are down with this release.

Well besides your hairless hedorah homage , which I need to find.


Be careful for what you ask for :twisted:


Yes the OG frank is my fav. Not a re release without hair.

So I guess the haired versions of the hedorah are next but without hair ??

All in all I'm not hating, the frankenrouge is my favorite homage and can't get enough. But shig kills it on paint so why not just evolve the paint job. When someone has the skill to do so and doesn't go for it is a missed opportunity.

This is cool for those who missed the first release or liked it but not the hair. It's still not an exact re release so it's not that big a deal.

I like the package but not so much the anti religious stuff. I know it's not Christ but upside down crosses I won't wear. Should have just used the image that was on the homepage, it's a bit more literal but I really like that much more.

I would like to see a Barom1 paint job, like he rose from the dead.

Or maybe the negative colors of frankenrouge.

Or maybe the frankenrouge colors on that new 4 eyed head !

Just saying, something more than just the same exact as the first time.... But without hair.

That being said I would like the hairless 2 face ;)

No offense meant to you Joel, there is so much going on in the shirt design that I had no idea there was even a drawing of yours on there.

This guy doesn't seem to have a problem with the inverted cross. Not sure of his stance on Nags, however.

damn Cliff. That's a little harsh. The T is pretty rad. Rip off on an old Vivienne Westwood Sex Pistols shirt. Numbered run of only 20 shirts made. CD also has hand drawn stuff on the cover but whatevs.

The NYCC version was $350 with no shirt or CD and sold out in minutes (seconds?)

Art, tee and CD homages are killer! U saw me (not) pulling off that Westwood Muslin Bondage Shirt at SDCC09 so u know I could also (not) pull off that shirt next year...

Hope I wins!

Balding damage also gave me a laugh. I want a nag with one of those pull out extending hair thingies, so he can wear it short of long dependent on mood. Resin caveman styling accessories too plaese!

Do these things poop gold or something? I am out of the loop on the price of the violent cavemen so I guess it's a good deal for the extras.
Hey Greg, ask shigeru if Monstrehero can paint some, they would obviously be cheaper cause they would suck.

I believe this is actually the third Frankenruge and the second one without hair...

That is a one off.
The first run had hair.This second run is hairless.
The last NNN was 16000Y.That makes the tshirt and cd 9000Y.

Ah, okay. And yes, I agree that 9000 Yen is a rather harsh mark-up for a T-Shirt & a CD...

@Dikasaur: Thanks, but I pilfered that from SaintOfSpinners.

I'm not sure if that dog thing is even NNN. Someone mentioned it on the Flcikr, and it makes sense, seems like it's resin or something. I also thought it looked "Bob Conge"-ish but I don't know what it's deal is.

Maybe the 9000 Yen isn't just for the shirt/CD. Some of the extra charges in that 9000 could be things like covering the shipping to Japan from the US (if they're by Mishka, they were probably here first right?) then some of it could be "colab" money. All the colabs are more expensive, even without shirts and CDs. In essence 3 people (We know of) worked on this set, Shig, Greg and Joel. So that's more people who need to be paid. Not just 1.

I don't know, I'm just tossing garbage out there to swish around our brains. I don't know why, in the end someone's still gonna come along and disprove me and then say these toys are all hype despite the fact that on page 1 people were interested in the figure and didn't seem to care "who" made it, but were we hired to start hype?! WHO KNOWS?! BOHEMIAN GROVE B!TcHEZ!

Also the skull around the cross spells "Boryoku Genjin" right?

yeah man! Good eye. It was a skull I found that originally said Barom One so I flipped that too. In case anyone was wondering what goofiness transpired on the back;) ILLUMINATOYS!

NNN is holding this lottery not Mishka so I presumed it didnt include postage.Normally it states the amount for the toy then you pay the extra postage when you win.So that would include an extra 9000Y for the tshirt and cd.

The last release included Coops jump suit and omake for 16000Y.So to alot of people it is a big jump in price.

Not that Im complaining I love Seditionaries and mix cds.Vivienne Westwood had a great show in Sheffield last year spanning her whole career.

I'm guessing if they were done by Mishka US, the shirts would actually have been cheaper - if I remember correctly, the Mishka Tokyo exclusive tees were 6000+ Yen? Besides, I think all the Coop collabs were priced at 16k, just like the regular Nags. The only ones that seem to be really steeply priced are the ones actually released in the US. Not hating, just saying/wondering.
