 Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff Rich wrote: Why is everything crude compared to the Nag now ? ESP. When the nags crudeness was ripped from BEMON.... Often thought the same... Bemon seems to be a main source of inspiration for Nags (probably one of the reasons I like them). Anyhow don't want to steal focus from the thread, GS toys look awesome and imho belong to a category of their own.

Alice had said earlier, Nag was pretty much a tribute to Dustman. There are dozens of crude toys out there. I guess the most expensive is always top of mind.

Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff Andy has a cool quick writeup. Here's a picture of the earlier stages from his blog.  I didn't realize this thing was so small. I love the price point..can't wait to see some photos from the people who bought them.

Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff The monster set don't remind me of any kaiju/neokaiju/japanese sofubi so much as they remind me of cool generic monsters figures from the 60's. I really love them just from those blanks and am pretty excited to see what we get with them.

Not sure I would say "ripped" as the Kougai was already pretty much defined on the IKB header. The way I see what Bemon has done so far is to bring existing characters to vinyl (and the vinyl Kougai in this sense is a perfect rendition of the one on the header).

Yes, it definitely has a yokai feel to it (not quite sure of what that particular yokai is called but there is one that looks like this guy) but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing, I actually love what I'm seeing because it also reminds me of traditional Japan.

Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff lulubell wrote: Monster refers to a type of collector. Maybe you know him or her? Maybe it's you? A monster collects only the rarest prey. They share in their conquests only as victors, dominating an otherwise peaceful town. This horrendous appetite judges not on intent but perceived value, be it real or trumped up. Will the monster ever rest? You want a one off? We made you over 200 one offs. Your chances of there being two of the same figure are almost 1 in 1,000,000. Grody Shogun's newest figure, Monster, is made up of 6 different heads, 6 different arms, 4 different bodies and five different colors all mixed and matched. (see additional images) This massive creature stands at approx. 6" with 3 points of articulation and retails for a mere $25 for this first-unpainted-prototype-one-off-version! ***As you can see, these come SUPER assorted. You can make requests in the comment section, and we'll try our best to get close, but they are ALL different.***

I passed w/out regret on the 2 previous figs, but I am really diggin' these mixed blanks.

Re: Grody Shogun - New Stuff Damn, I really want to order a couple of these. I wonder how accurate they can be with the requests though? The variety is one of the appeals to these guys for me, but I also would hate to end up with 'twins', especially when it comes to getting a couple different heads.
