Looks really awesome! artisanry

Wowza! Nice Hedorah.

that is rather nice!

That is a beauty.

Damn, after see that, I really can't imagine what will come of these one-off Bootlegs!

Alright, now you've got me hyped for the bootlegs. That is really, really nice. Thanks for sharing COOP.

Coop, that Hedorah is beautiful. Really captures the look of your print .

Gorgeous!

you lucky dog Coop!

Ooooozy and dee-lish. I'd love to see how Shigeru would paint more toys of others....

First off, you are assumptive to the point of lunacy. Shig has no idea who I am so it might have been a bit hard for him to message me directly. Second, people are acting like Walter winning must have been rigged. This is laughable and I find it very sad to see people so sure of something when they are only guessing. Did it ever occur to anyone that Shig may have thought up the header idea for Walter after Walter won a spot? Maybe Shig did give Walter a free win but you DON"T know and to assume it says it all. lastly, The fact you brought up race points clearly to that thought being in your mind. People without a streak of racism don't just interject it into conversations because they wonder something. I don't EVER ask if the party in question is Asian, Latin or anything else because I know unless we are discussing sickle cell anemia it is irrelevant to the situation. In all, statements like yours make me see why so many old timers talk about a sense of enlightenment and whining that casts a shadow over the otherwise amazing place SB is for JP vinyl collectors. Grow up and enjoy your toys.

Coop, that Hedo is toxic slime licking good, congratulations!

I think you missed that everyone that won is a SB member and had their board name printed on the header. People not on SB did not stand a chance. Which means he could of just sent everyone he picked a private message asking them if they wanted to buy one instead up pretending to do a lottery.

Only 3 or 4 people on SB have said they won(I think the run was 13). I don't think that means it was rigged.

I think you missed that every single entry asked for a nickname, not a SB forum member name. Therefore the headers, including mine were printed after the lottery ended with the names Shig only had after we entered. Only 3 have been claimed by SB forum members. I have no connections and have never spoken to Shigeru. Your logic fails, painfully.

No offense drizzle. But you seem like a real asshole.

You won because you are all over this thread kissing his ass. I never said any of the winners knew Shig. He likely had help picking the winners.

Call me what you want. I am getting more messages agreeing with me, and not as many calling me names.

Well...Yeah. The board is full of nuts.

Rich is basically saying the same thing I am, why not give him the shit you are giving me?

Wait, I know why.

That Marusan Hedorah was the first thing I bought from a fellow board member here (since banned, alas.) Always loved the sculpt. That paint job would be perfect even if it didn't quote Coop's screen print, but the fact that it does makes it even cooler.

nags are so controversial.

they're just toys guys. I haven't won any lotteries but would be happy to win one in the future. I dont know if the system is rigged and don't care. I'll enter lotteries like everyone else. If i get chosen then hooray! if not then i'll look forward to the next release.

shall we look at them both?



sounds like a logical observation.



sounds like an attack.


is that what you figured out on your own? i'd hope so...

I called you assumptive and racist, two charges that your own statements prove to be true to one extent or another. Where exactly was I kissing Shig's ass prior to winning this lotto? On the contrary I was one of many wishing for an open run and have myself questioned lottery results. If Shig picked me just to prove me wrong, well I'll take it. I'm so glad other haters are backing your disillusionment, have fun complaining about this all to them in pm's. Yawn.... can we get back to toys?

I'm never sure what Rich is going on about...

But..... We're really talking about TOYS, right? TOYS!!!! quit yer crying!!!

LORDY LORD!

My apologies. It was Mishka's ass you were kissing.
