Just a bit odd, kinda like saying your longtime dream has always been to be on tv, so if you have enough money you just buy yourself a commercial slot.


Another way to look at it using your example...if you were starting a company from scratch and after years of hard work and subsequent success you were able to have commercials on TV wouldn't that be a dream come true of sorts?

Old photo I found that was never used for my flickr and on private.

Eventually I ended up using this photo and color background.

man the mecha one is so cool but sadly I'll never own one as he's gone the bemon yja route. I'm sure the original lottery price was out of my league anyway. total bummer. someone should donate one to me & write it off on their tax return. :lol:

Has he gone YJA completely? damn, such a shame. They are really neat toys, too bad it only comes down to how much coin you have and how bad you want them.

There goes my wishful thinking at ever owning one of these. ha!

Says who? I'm pretty sure that those sold before Christmas will be the exception not the rule!

And those that were sold were all 1/1's and not lottery releases.

Maybe it's the angle but this looks like a mini or non-standard sized version.

There's a pic on his blog of it to scale with the original, which is smaller. So yeah looks like a new mini series!

EDIT: WHAT HE SAID ^^^^

But it's the new mini sculpt right? Because that head looks way different from the regular HxS Gorilla Ju, much more like the vintage. He did a nice job recreating it!

These smaller versions look really nice! Very similar to the original sculpt.

Pretty cool, does anyone know if this is a remolding of the original toy, or if they resculpted it. Hard to tell with that black shot and the low resolution of the 2nd, but it looks identical to the vintage.

Possibly even OG molds? Maybe just a coincidence but the Finkshit was brought back to life using one of the original wax pulls that managed to survive the interim 15 years or so intact . . . It's a cool development however Hirota's managed to pull it off.

You can actually make molds directly from an existing vinyl. No need to even mold it and do new wax.
