 All out Grody - The database
All right guys, here it is. I think Luke's dedication to the world of sofubi is pretty clear by now. Though he may be a relative newcomer on the scene, his work ethic, creativity, and massive production warrant the cataloging of his efforts in a database. I will add some additional pics when I have a bit more time. For the most part, I think there are in order of release. Be warned: this is a pic heavy thread!! PS - with all the mixed parts and part swapping, I am trying to keep these to the 'original' release stock, but I almost think with the interchangeability, they might be unclassifiable  I am also only covering official releases, not the load of shots from Luke's twitter of his experimental creativity - Wonderfest Release Ojisan & Karakuri (pics courtesy of toothaction)   - mixed parts monsters These guys really brought Luke's work to the forefront, care of a sneak peak and subsequent release at SDCC '11. Here is a basic breakdown as near as I can tell:
Six heads: vampire, werewolf, invisible man, frankenstein's monster, mummy, golem Corresponding arms: hammered, hairy, muscled, human/shirted(?) Bodies: midsized body/bumpy-legged, squared 'face' body with Michelin-man legs, small rounded body/thin legs, chunky body thick legs Each part is available in one of five colours: light green, dark green, blue, white, brown   - US release Ojisan & Karakuri   PK Monstergool collab  Luck bag unpainted version  Painted "eyes" monsters  unpainted versions   Pink nuggets   Blue head/GID body painteds  Ensorcelled Man, painted US release  Ensorcelled Man, unpainted US release  Nerds  unpainted versions  Ensorcelled Man, painted SF version  Ensorcelled Man, unpainted SF version  Mixed parts monsters, unpainted SF version  Ilanena collab Ojisan  Mixed parts monsters, painted US version (of SF guys)  unSufes Ojisan and Karakuri   Sherbert monsters  Kewpie tribute  (image courtesy of RussBlue11) Monster-head rattle (lower right) [NYCC 2011]  Frosty - Ojisan body, monster head, Shikaruna arms  (image courtesy of TiredChildren) Cotton Candy mixed/unpainted releases - Ojisan/Karakuri and monsters  image courtesy of Mr Grzlli Atom) Not sure what to call these, Grody mashed-up glory? Limited releases available at NYCC, some sample pics   Monster Kara (Kaiju Korner release) - thanks to Andy for the sweet collab and pics! painted   unpainted  Squeaky wheel release  Clear body 'Veined'  image courtesy of Chimply Kaiju Frosty Ojisan  Image from Andy at KK Frosty Karakuri  Image from Andy at KK Chase(?) versiof of Karakuri from Frosty release  Image from Andy at KK EM/monster body mixed  Glitter & Green Goodness   Painted Nugs   Superfestival 58 release monster  Karoshi @ TAG "Yellow beachglass"  Karoshi @ TAG "Blue beachglass"  Karoshi @ TAG "Tentacled Oji"  Karoshi @ TAG "Supergloss"  Image thanks to Paul Kaiju One-offs/Customs (?) - cream body Ojisan  A great mixed duo, are courtesy of Andy  mixed bag of Grody goodness (I really love that brown Franken monster in back  )  custom from Red Hot Robot show  The much discussed Roger Rabbit tribute  Courtesy of Psilo

 Re: All out Grody - The database
I'm pretty sure the Garamon grody customs isn't by Luke so maybe it shouldn't be included or in another category like "Customs by other artists"
Also, isn't there an unpainted US release Ensorcelled Man?

 Re: All out Grody - The database
Also, the pair listed as US release Ojisan and Karakuri are the first GS release. So, maybe GS Debut Ojisan and Karakuri.

 Re: All out Grody - The database
Added thanks, any other slips just let me know. I know full well you can't please everyone but I will do my best.  @ melek_taus, didn't the WF versions come first though, in Japan?

 Re: All out Grody - The database
Oh and maybe include the "secret" unpainted versions if you want a completely complete database: Unpainted Monster gool:  from g_money  (photo from Jace76 - from Red Hot Robot)  (photos from melek_taus) I'm sure theres more...

 Re: All out Grody - The database
I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure WF was after. I remember cuz I missed the first release, but scored the WF versions after.. There is also this group of one-offs:  That's the blue eyed guy you have a pic of on the right.

 Re: All out Grody - The database
Yeah, I think there are "variants" of a lot of the runs. For instance the 1st unpainted Monster set, there were 2 painted proto secrets. The Monster Gool had 4 unpainted's. It seems like most runs have a secret run within.

 Re: All out Grody - The database
Made an short update with the monster guy breakdowns, but could somebody tell me what the variations are on arms? I haven't been lucky enough to hold a lot of these guys in person, but when they were first released, I had thought there was almost matching arms to go with the characters, e.g. a hairy wolfman arm, a dracula, golem/rock arm, and a franken, but now I am not so sure if there are other versions of the 'human' type arms, with or without shirts, as I need a close-up look. Is there only three variations?

 Re: All out Grody - The database
I bought the guy on the far left, green body, black/purple arms on eBay and did not realize it was a one-off. It wasn't listed as a custom either, just a WF grody shogun. Is it definitely a 1/1?

 Re: All out Grody - The database
I believe you got yourself a one off then. Nice! If I could find that yellow guy with the blue eyes, my head just might explode.
