 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
It's just too big for me I think, No real room for it. I am impressed by the size, and glad he made it that big, but it's just not for me.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Meant to add, for the price it is a great value too. I expected 12000 yen or so.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
It might just be the view point as I don't think it's much bigger than the rest of his toys.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I haven't been this excited about an Elegab toy since my first Shuttlegon. Personally I'm crazy about the size. I would make room for Mr. X even if he has to end up sleeping in the same bed with me.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Maybe perspective is adding to it a bit, but still the horizontal dimension is larger than a smog

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
He should be standard size. Between Tonneran and Smog King.
This has got to be the best color scheme from Nari-san. The BEST!

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Pretty sure I need a Mr. X in my life. Really happy with how it translated to a figure form, looks fantastic!

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
That Kaiju Cyborg is a BEAST! Seriously wonder how big it is compared to everything else. And since it's finally confirmed, here's what I passed the last Hitogomira release for...

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Woow, amazing score Joe! Sort of mocha vinyl base, am I right? Plus the colors are amazing. How and where did you find this one off?? Can't wait for the cyborg X lottery. I had to pass on the last few releases.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I talked to Naritada today at Design Festa, and he was showing off Cyborg Mr. X. When I interviewed him last year, I made a comment about despite loving his toys, the huge tails made it difficult to fit many on a shelf. He proudly showed that Cyborg Mr. X has a small tail, since he got the same comment from other people. It's an awesome beast.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I love that unpainted too, but I am really liking the half-spray of the Type C, almost a shadow effect like there is colour where the light is hitting it. I'll have to pass on this release unfortunately; I really want to hold one of these Mr. X's in my hand

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Mr.x is just under 12" according to the site. That solves that mystery.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
"Experimental" Type C is Furankeruge-ish.
Nice, but I still like Type-A better. The unpainted is really fun too.

But I prefer Type A, too -- not a lot of black in his recent releases, so this is a cool change. The Type-A dino head looks a bit like my cat when he has an eye infection, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (for Mr. X, not my cat).

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Went for the unpainted. I think an unpainted Elegab collection would be awesome.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Mr. X is great. If I had the cash to burn, I'd get the unpainted one, cut off his claw hand, stick his chest head on the end of the arm, and sculpt a smooth chest over the hole.
