I really like the new insert for Gorz. I wish they had kept the word bubble. Although it probably would not have fit in the figure...

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
^ Yes, either of those would be great to have; I'm just not in love with it inside the robot. I assume the insert is reversible, I'd love to see the other side.

The whole marketing behind everything really pisses me off. Just make fucking toys so people can buy them and be done with it. Enough secret handshake business. I'm not saying I wanted this toy at all but really it's worse than following elections with this hobby anymore. I just don't want the headache with buying anything new. New rule: Searching for vintage toys that are no longer made- hunt is fun. Headache buying anything new- not worth it.

To be honest they announced it on their blog free for anyone to read. Then it was just a matter of being quick with opening your wallet.

Sooooo no hoops or crazy marketing? Just wild speculation at work again, eh? Yeah, ok, sounds about right.

We email to our "member" & offer pre-order to "member" before we announce it in our blog.
That's it.

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
these are my favorite versions yet- very very retro looking! i love the taste of color tones that you & ilu ilu did these in your really hitting a nice vein of that vintage tin toy style
i missed out completely but it would be awesome to see you revisit in flipped color tones of the spray for the pair of dolls i think its safe to say others might still want a set of these
people acting so upset gets old, i am weird i guess because i enjoy toys i may never own just as much as ones i do own some perhaps more. eventually one finds waht one wants
i think most folks still have a craving for mass production. reasons perhaps our western minds draw assumptions of how we should be catered to as customers vs. sofvi fans
i agree with Lixx- focus on vintage if this new stufs has you going bonkers. eventually someone will want "new" & sell this current model in short timeframe, always happens & always will
regardless of price the collecter should be a fan instead of just being a customer. japanese sofvi toys are not a microwave oven or express lane fodder. they are real
don't let not owning them ruin it for you. its not cheap or easy to pop out a run of figures. these are very complex dolls so i would think these took a long time to produce.
anyway i look forward, hopefully to more versions since i do not have any yet. it would be very interesting to see these in a museum setting with vintage tin robots

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
oh shite you got me there dude! or not.
you & the other guy seem to like pointing out things i pm'd you fyi this just makes you guys seem like trolls looking to flame......... i don't care but referencing things said in a pm is very ignorant
instead of contributing to the scene you complain & insight baseless conspiracies over others intentions & the way things are marketed. also what would you do if you had that pm?
what would it add to the context of what is being talked about in this thread? i invite you to reply but i only expect diatribe from you honestly. i wish you did have that pm i stand by it
for the record since you made a point of bringing it to this thread
my pm was a complaint about someone known to flip pushead stufs speculating on how much they could sell the nag hp for- others heard this guy & he has been unsuccessful acquiring more.
i don't care what you think of me Andy- but referencing a pm is ignorant as a pm is meant to keep shite like this out of legit threads. say what you will- i would say all this to you in person
get over yourself no one cares!

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
just have to chime in, what someone says in PM's is more important than what they would openly say on the board, albeit in this case I am gonna go out on a limb and say this PM probably wouldn't be too damning, but someone could seem like an awsome member hook people up etc and then PM someone something intentionally derogatory and be a huge piece of shit

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
my pm to Andy had nothing to do with anything other than my expressing my opinions at one point in time. not sure waht he is trying to suggest currently- nor do i care! Scary Andy wrote: this particular retailer is the latest to take advantage of collector insecurity based on waht? AA/ilu ilu did a great collab with these for an exclusive release so your statement is just a lame a reflection of yourself alone! go ahead tho fart away!
if this was never offered even less folks would have this set. waht are you trying to say man? who is taking advantage of anyone? no one had to buy them- folks did buy it tho.
its sold out move on.
>thank you Angel Abby for going thru the process of offering exclusives looking forward to seeing many, more releases!

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
^^I think Andy is referring to them offering a membership in which you would get first shot at these exclusives.

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
OK again how does this take advantage of anyone? no one had to buy anything instead they choose to
no advantage gained nor lost toys were made folks bought them speculation is a mute point

That's it. I never got an email  . Before I used to get the emails, but around the time the membership was offered, they mysteriously stopped

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
Wasn't this Angelabby (refuse to call them AA) thing just an obvious 'Hello, I'm here now give me your money and all the hard-to-get toys. Because that's really why I'm here'? All the attitude has been 'up your face' and I haven't really gotten the hold of that. Just saying. I don't care how many exclusives they get, if someone comes here just as a way to fill their store with costumers then there's something shady going on. I even passed on the Leather Man exclusive which is a figure I was trying to be completist with but I'd rather stick with what I really think. kichigai wrote: OK again how does this take advantage of anyone? no one had to buy anything instead they choose to

 Re: ILU ILU Neo Gorilla, Tokio, Görz, & Other! Database 1st
any idea why Japanese sofvi toy makers would permit outlets to sell exclusives?
i missed all the Target Earth exclusives & would want them regardless of who offered them. how is it different with other retailers?
all i am saying here is these are authorized by the Japanese companies themselves its not like Angel Abby grew these in their yard!
>are you saying you would pass on figures you would otherwise want?<
how about folks that dont have a previous version? is it a bad thing to offer exclusive color versions of toys some folks obviously want?
