Red hair is great with those colors!

Who is monster island? They sent me some little resin Nag Fink figures today.

^An uninterested élan of generosity for sure...What's with the sudden rash of Nag bootlegs/copies/homages anyway ...?

pics please!!!

...he is a dodgy dodgy bootlegger outta NYC. DO NOT TRUST HIM. *cough*


...the zeitgeist is turning.

Seriously though, a man by the name o 'Gorgoloid' made some mini kaiju bootleg sculpts, one of which is/was a NNN. THEN mr dodgy NYC bootlegger Monster Island bought 'em and begun casting... Origin tale of 1 of 'em at least.

Pics (NOT mine):

...the one below i'm 90% sure a 'Monster Island' original:



...the pic below is of 'Gorgoloid's' originals, which 'Monster Island' has been casting:



...that's all the NNN boots i know of... Any others?

Oh boy...

So who's gonna do a bootleg of the Bootleg or the MOTUKO? And since the consensus seems to be that it's okay to bootleg hyped/elusive toys, why not start bootlegging Pushead, PK and MVH? Oh right, because they would go Gacy on your uninspired asses. Carry on!

...oh, and in other trainspotter news...

Looks like the ole NNN has been beaten at the gates for the title of 1st sofubi to retail for US$1,000 or more by newcomer Yusei Majin...

"...each have been priced at a whopping 105,000yen (approx. $1089) plus shipping."

And the offending creatures? Photo below:

WTF

^^
Is that towards the poor information given or the price? These had doodles from yoda, variant eyes etc which makes them possibly 1offs. Regardless of that, they were offered from m-world. So that's not "retail". M-world has never offered anything at retail. They've been known to inflate prices .

Everything. Both. ill be honest and say i dont know the origins of the toy just astounded by that price if it was a retail run, which u just said it wasnt. So i guess im good now

Yes drawings and extra eyes. One other thing I noticed is the type of vinyl used. The longneck moon from my personal collection is squishy vinyl. Longneck's NYCC moon was made in hard vinyl. Not sure if i want to call these One-off's or just very special regular runs...



There is a first time for everything. Remember M-world offering the NYCC exclusive SHB, Karzworks and Wombat? M-world priced them all at retail just like it was the case with these longneck's. Yes, the price included a very small commission fee, but thats it..

M-W usually takes 1/3rd - 1/4th of the price as a commission. I won't call it a very small commission, unless I am in the flipping business.

So much useful information on this page. It sure helps from having to check out other areas of the forum. Not that it was not already obvious the few threads people flock to. The mods should just help everyone out to stay on top of the game by making a KR discussion subsection and stickying this to the top.

It doesn't matter if he priced them over $1000 because no one did or will buy them.

My next release, I'm going to price at $10,000. None will sell, but I will then hold the most expensive toy record

Y'all need to get with galleries, I wonder which one of these turkeys will have a show in the Armory first? ;D

NAh. You should just make it $1090. Just 1 dollar over.

I once tried to sell a Dummy disguised as a nag for 1K on ebay. Does that count ?

^^
Maybe you should try again, after all "dat crowd" has been zero'ing in on Nags for a while now...

...PART of me actually thinks those Yusei will sell. People love that toy. A lot.

AND the guys behind it are doing the ole NNN schtick for releases - lots of releases and versions to keep the hype/press, not many made to keep interest going and sell 'em at a high price to begin with.

An easy formula to follow i guess. BUT it does need a cool piece behind it. And yeah, i think the Yusei is a damn cool piece.

So they didn't sell at NYCC and now they are being offered(flipped) for over $1000...seems about right

^^^^
...the Man-E-Toys post implied they were only for show at NYCC, and are only now for sale by M-World.

So is an official sale by a flipper, a flipper sale? OR an official sale, that just happens to be buy a flipper? I always suck at philosophy, so i'll leave the answer to the board...

Nope they were for sale at NYCC for the same price.

^^^^
thanks for the info Joe! And if they were the same price at NYCC, well i guess that makes the M-World sale, a regular sale, that just happens to be carried out by a flipper.

Now to see IF they actually sell. Or maybe end up at Mandrake for double the price in a month or so...?

Blah blah blah . . .
