Yeah, the Camo is OK, but Mishka colors are awesome. If it was purple vinyl with the blue spray on the belly I would like it just as much.

Camo is like big boobs. Some people just don't like them....

Is it because the media hypes big boobs? Maybe, but I (like most) think people who don't like them are crazy... but to each their own.

I actually really like woodland camo (like the brown green hedoran) but there's no reason besides the fact that I really like the tones picked for the HP and how they sit together. I'm not into army gear or anything, I just like that particular execution of the camo way, imho it's the best one I've seen so far. Tbh nothing against big boobs either.

Thanks for the kind words. I stand by what I wrote, and still resent the posting of a picture in an info thread just to promote a release. I apologized to Joe, that was unneeded and unwarranted by me. And I can appreciate you 20-year-olds who support these Nag tactics for a figure that I collect. I guess you are all right and it is just commerce: a sale of a product that Greg arranged, so why give a sh$t? I hope Greg does this with a wide range of toys, maybe even one you really have a passion for, and you know, after this I won't say a word if he does. I can always pay for any toy that I want and can wait the time needed for a toy to become available, but I do appreciate the makers of toys, as I expressed, who think of their fans first and the dollar second. Now back to fun with toys.


First off, what does age have to do with any if this? A lot of boardies are well past their twenties.
Secondly, are you apologizing or still whining?
I understand what you were trying to say, but many things you did say were uncalled for and blown way out of proportion.
When all is said and done, Greg had an awesome 1/1 camo zag made for him. He begged Kiyoka to make a run for his Mishka fans specifically. He had a mailing list where if you were a Mishka fan, you would join (which it was and still is open to the public). If this zag was announced beforehand, anyone who wanted that zag would join Mishka's fan list just for the zag, and not because they are true Mishka fans. Greg wanted to have this release made for his fans, and he did.
You sir are not the only Zagoran completist out there, and sure as hell are not the only die-hard fan/collector of Zags. There are many who missed this release, and there are many who are bummed about it. But they do not start public mud slinging just because they missed out on this toy. And taking your frustration out on Joe is beyond childish. Whether he is on top of every kaiju release or not, he is taking time out of his life to run an amazing blog which most of us truly appreciate.
Ultimately, Greg didn't have to ask Kiyoka to make this release, and then there would only be one of these zags in existence, of which you would pretty much have 0% chance of getting. Now, there are ten more of these beauties out there, and your chance (as well as everyone else's) of getting a Mishka camo zag has increased. Calm down, wait patiently, and maybe one will eventually find its way into your collection... Seriously.


and this ^^^^^

Make me a happy boy!

I said I was done being angry. :lol:

The next time DYBBUKIM is at the front of the line at a Gargamel/Super 7 show.....I fully expect him to issue a protest asking that all the items at the show be placed in a lottery so that hardcore fans around the world will have an equal shot at them.

Occupy Thrashout! :lol:

I occupy that space all the time. I don't usually have funds to buy any toys but just being there and seeing every sick toy showcased and fan's enthusiasm, meeting the Japanese collectors, that's the reason I still love toys. I don't get a chance to buy much these days but that doesn't even matter to me anymore.

The GI Joe I grew up with was part of the Adventure Team (with the kung-fu grip!!). I'm not anti-military or anything like that. Hell, I was docs about SEALs, Spec Ops, weapons, air combat, and all that but the camo thing on Zags...well, the first time Gargamel did it, I was fine with it but after a while (and a few various colors), I just didn't care for it. There's tons of patterns and colors but it just doesn't work for my on Zags or Hedos. As far as the Mishka one goes, I like the colors. I think it would have been better if Greg had asked for a different pattern using those colors so it keeps his 1/1 as exactly that. Maybe I should paint a camo pattern toy...maybe that will make me realize the appeal for it.

I actually think it's real cool Greg DID ask for it to be the same. The one for him is still just that, one made for the intent of being a gift for him. If others have the same pattern/scheme that won't take away how cool and special the first one is to him and he's sharing the love with that.

I would but that quick Kirkland keeps getting there before me. Maybe one day I can be first, and I will post a picture if it happens just for you, the fans.

I still say that some of the Kozik Zags from 2006 are fantastic, but I'm done stirring the [expletive deleted] for this week, so maybe another time and another thread.

I've also seen the same owner has a clear green camo pocket killer(standing). I'm just too lazy to post a pic.

Yes, that's what I was thinking when I said "killers." The clear camo standing pocket killer is beyond awesome. And even though Naoya's sleeping killer isn't technically a camo, I still think of it in the same family.

Thanks for all the coverage Mark and Andy. This Deathra would look so amazing in my collection. The colors on it, and almost everything else, look great.

The toys in those pictures are all sold out unfortunately. Those are all one offs made for the Thrashout 7th anniversary sale that took place in August. You would have had to be at the Thrashout store in person for the show in order to have a chance to buy those toys for that price.
