Chris mentions the new hand variation in his blog before the sales and in the description of the actual sales.

SOLD OUT

^ I've never been one to read the fine print

Chris for GT is really gifted with a great sense of color. What an awesome version.

Unfortunately I was no where near a computer to even attempt for one.

^ Both VERY nice! What's the story with these?

I wonder why there's only Pepy and no Gorz with the shop releases?
The new pair do look good!

Manufactured expressly to invoke desire. Medicom exclusive. No idea on a release date.

I'm going to have to sit this one out, unfortunately. Fucking ball breaking.

July 7 ¥6900

Really digging the new colours but i'm not a big fan of the new sculpted claw addon thing.. I prefer the original version, although these look like they might be G.I.D which would be nice!

Both are phosphorescent or luminous as the Japanese say!

That's fabulous!
Oh wait, I'm not in Japan and unable to wait in line.........

that silver Pepp looks kitschy. nice chain-hook. but where's the Gorz?

?

?

They honestly don't look that similar; sculptwise, they both have antennas and have baby faces and the arms go out (but differently), which could easily describe a Teletubby . It's just a coincidence this release happens to have a silver head

Gerz - Grumble Toy Exclusive!!!!!!!

a bit pricey but very nice one.

I expected he'd cost as much since Meteor Pepy was like $120

It is really quite reasonable seeing that they retail in Japan for ¥9000 aka $115....

The earlier versions cost cheapest $200 outside Japan...

I keep getting an error when checking out, man I don't wanta miss this lil fella.

I didn't know this guy was coming out, but congrats to those who scored one. Chris is doing some really amazing things with these GT versions. I hope there is a somewhat regular release of Ilu Ilu stuff, so that individual versions don't become bank-breakers.

saw it right after chris posted. so wanted to just charge it on the credit card, but i showed some self-restraint

perfect version of gorz. the clear pink vinyl and gid mini dude make this an awesome release!

Had I not been patiently waiting for these Medicom Devilman reissues (I'm not missing them for anything) I would have been all over this release. Perfect colors (purple) and GID mini guy! I saw it was still available on my way to the beach this morning. I kept saying to myself looking at my smartphone: YOU MUST RESIST! Chris to your credit it was really really hard to say no.

This was definitely a tough one to hold back on, but i managed to resist it and told myself I would stick to one version for iluilu toys.
Love the colours on this one!

i miiisssed it! ugh
