Re: Awesome new Soh-fewwwwww-beeeeeeeeee
Actually mad isn't getting into '' THA KAIJU GAME'' as far as I know but his characters are way better than a lot of this hookah I been seeing round these here parts of late..
As a dude with longtime facial hair, I am so tired of seeing mustaches placed on everything. Seriously why is that suddenly so hip? I am all about the mustache, but NOT because it is ironic. Get a clue. And dollar signs, really? Ah well, tastes here are all over the place, I am sure lots of folks will dig it.

Re: Awesome new Soh-fewwwwww-beeeeeeeeee
Spikes, tentacles, teeth, and eyeballs are sooo Kaiju . But then you gotta flip the switch, and add some exaggerated dollar signs and a, wait for it, mustache!
Geez, if this is getting made, I can't imagine how to pitch this to a maker. Seriously, a dollar sign and a mustache is the selling point on this? Like spray paint caps and ghetto blasters?! Cause god knows the KR collectors don't give a shit about monster parts. Is there some sort of artistic social commentary that I'm not getting here?
I guess I am one of the 'kids' who doesn't get it, but that doesn't mean there is anything that you should be offended by personally. Wasn't the whole point of your original post to discuss it? This is tame for Skullbrain.
Oh you know, pile up some tentacles, add some eyeballs and teeth with guts , put a money sign with a mustache on the top, get it made in Japan like the original Bullmark [expletive deleted] and those kaiju people will eat it up!
Yeah, I'm still waiting for a used Hotdog stand to pop up on Craigslist. Retirement here I come!

Dont you know? The cool kids are all about the kaijus! #kaijuballin #swag #Icollectkaijuironically
MADE IN JAPAN??!! SUGOII DESU KNEE!! XDDDDD So sick man mad props so dope! I bet that platform will make an AWESOME custom! OMG That's such a cool backstory!

Finally, while everyone is talking about [expletive deleted] BB prices being too high at 100, the full sized figures sell at retail in the low to mid three digits and have been flipped for over 2k. People on Skullbrain like some really cool stuff but they don't seem to talk about it much (I think) b/c it would create too much competition beyond the insanity that's already happening.
Hopefully people wanna talk about releases and info here!

I am just learning about this myself and originally didn't find the figures all too appealing but that is changing with time. Who knows these could be worth 5k one day, its an area and price point I think can really be achieved at some point

I might be misreading this but I always thought that the reason non-kaiju/western/mainstream/designer toy-makers are getting projects done in Sofubi is because the material is considered to be of a higher quality and the craftsmanship better when made in Japan vs China (where most other designer/adult toys are made.)
I often wonder what our Japanese counterparts - collectors and creators alike - think of the way we get hung up on terms like kaiju, neo-kaiju, designer toy, art toy, sofubi etc....
