Does anyone here own this particular deathra?



Peace out[/quote]

^ I think a lot of people including myself would love to know who owns that Deathra. It's the best 1 I have ever seen. Naoya's color is amazing and unexpectedly so.

as if I wasn't excited enough already

This is INSANE

that is some badass art

read about Thrashout's closure in 2012 on KK. pretty much bummed out but hoping that Gargamel will still stay on. really hope some of us could pop by the shop if we're in TYO this month at least. heard they don't open regularly but i hope at least i can drop in at a time it's opened.

I love the art... I cant wait for my figure to reach my hands>>>

ガーガメル事務所移転のお知らせ

3.11に発生した東北地方太平洋沖地震以降、熟慮を重ね、
事務所・工房を福岡県に移転することに決めました。
制作と仕事だけを優先した場合、
利便性を考慮しても東京に留まり仕事を続けて行きたいと言うのが正直な気持ちですが、自分たちの子供の事を考えると移転がベストだと判断しました。

3.11以降、ただでさえ信用出来なかった日本政府の露骨な動きから、
既に、国が国民を守ることは無いと思います。
福島原発しかり、TPPしかり。
危険性がある以上、親として自らの身体と残る人生を張ってでも子供を守るべき。
順当に考えても僕より長く生きる訳でもあるし、
子供とは、これからの国を、世界を担って行く人です。
僕は自分より子供を優先したい。
それを自分の出来ることで実践しようと考えたのです。

縁もゆかりも無い土地で不安じゃないのか？と言われれば、
不安はたっぷりですが、物を造るのは何処でも出来ますし、
僕らの造る物を通じて、今後ともお付き合い頂ければ、
精進し、お応えしたい心持ちです。

尚、この度の事務所・工房の移転に伴い、
スラッシュアウトは来年の2012年1月をもって閉店させて頂きます。
七年半もの間、ご愛顧頂き誠にありがとうございました。
今後の通常商品は、web販売の他、都内数店舗にて取り扱って頂く予定ですので、引続きご愛顧のほど宜しくお願い申し上げます。

今後とも、宜しくお願い致します。

Heartbreaking and a great letter to fans....One of THE best companies that I will continue to support. Best.

It really is. With only a few exception, my whole vinyl collection is pretty much Gargamel. I really hope they'll continue with releases and can find a new start in that manner.

For those of us who can't read Japanese and for whom Google Translate is doing a terrible job of translating, can someone tell us what that says?

I think most people already know TO at koenji will be closed something in Jan 2012.
Kiyoka was just explaining the rationale of the move to Fukuoka.
Basically he did so in consideration of his family & kid's interest due to the nuclear fallout incident at Fukushima after the 3/11 earth quake.
Although I personally feel that Tokyo is safe enough, I do respect their decision.
TO koenji is such an icon. I will forever remember the new year midnite line for the fukubukuros in the early days, the many amazing shows they have had in the past years, and the casual visits to the shop for toy talk & viewing.
Although TO Koenji will be history soon, Gargamel toys will continue, so there will be many more exciting releases down the road.

TO closure, pachi summit ending, wonder what's up next.

Here's some pics from KaijuKorner to brighten the mood


Let's hope that last 1 has guts! More here: http://kaijukorner.blogspot.com/2011/12 ... shout.html

Clear deathra for custom will be killers !

Oh shit.....guts

As much as it is a bummer about T.O. closing, I am just grateful that the gang will still be producing toys.

Holy fuck. You guys can have all the clear deathras. That blue one is for me!!

Please toy gods, let that clear yellow 2 head see production. PLEASE!

I totally agree(unless they make deathra guts). The clear brown zag is amazing too.

dayglo plz



yellow snow plz



i flipped when i saw these a while ago. sigh, to own a standard size deathra....

I'm glad I got to visit Thrashout at least once, even if I was the only one in the store and there wasn't a big event going on. I commend Kiyoka for doing what he feels is best for his family, sd the shop's going but good for him for fighting to do what he feels best.

When I went there were a handful of those unpainted hanging out. I gotta admit, I started getting a lot more interested in unpainted vinyl thanks to that. Dayglo rules!

Love that yellow dayglo

So are these blanks for upcoming Lucky Bags, or are they to be painted as customs for one last show??

I think I read on KK that they were for one offs. I thought that the bwana/martin show was the last show at TO though.

Maybe some one offs will make it into the lucky bags this year...

I hope so. I always thought that was cool, give everyone a blind shot. But also a TO goodbye party seems called for too.

Few more camo zags up on Mishka's site.
