That's the point.

The fact is that Sato pretends to be the "original creator" and the victim.
And that's ridiculous.

Post Re: Target Earth
I can't argue with your logic on this one Spamper. When I saw the new TE toy I was pretty shocked. Bemon clearly released theirs first, and the differences between the sculpts are negligible at best.

But hey. at least you can get your hands on the TE toy for a reasonable price. :D I haven't seen that Bemon marilla go for less than a grand, and it's not really even that desirable a toy. You would think Sato would at least wait to copy something more interesting. I like the sculpt, but ultimately why would it even be worth the fallout he receives for copying it.

Not a big fan of the sculpt, but the timing of the release is kinda amusing...

I won't drop huge dime on this toy, but fuck if I'm not brain washed to like the SVHC version more.

Unlikely by much. Even though both sculpts have minor differences to set them apart. There are those that just have to have that particular brand name at all cost. :P

I'm so bummed that there will be no dustman/Andy Warhol. I was really looking forward to that release.

You and me both. It was a phenomenal looking figure in the prototype photos. Hopefully something changes and he makes it happen.

What happened to the Dustman? It's such a hilarious looking figure, for sure would have snapped one up.

It was previously stated a couple pages back that Shig approached T.E. and bitched that it looked too similar to Nags, so he agreed not to make it. A shame, really.

Wow! Just wow! "You can't almost copy the toy that I already copied!" If Shig wants to be such a dildo maybe he should just crawl up his own ass,at least then he will have plenty of company to tell him how fucking great he is.

I wonder if it's really true. I hope it's not. I would have loved one too.

Correct me if I'm wring, but wasn't the baphomet only a head sculpt? I'm still hella new to T.E. so I don't recall ever seeing a body for it.

I know I'm pretty darn late to the party, but I just discovered Dokugarasu and now I have to have one. Anyone know if Target Earth still produces this toy at all, or will I have to go hunting for it? :P

There are at least three versions to my knowledge -- Black / grey, brick red and clear. It has been several years since any of them have been released.

That's a shame. :( Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky and one will find it's way to me... At least I know (from Mandarake at least) that it won't cost me an arm and a leg.

2015 will be the 10th year for TE & I really hope to see some of Mr. Sato's unproduced sculpts finally surface.......

HUGE THANX!!! to all the folks worldwide who have helped me build up my collection, could not have done it otherwise!!!

I now have near 100 TE & Hukkokudo dolls so its time to find a better way to display them- my shelves are crowded!!!

We are taking pre-orders for NYCC exclusive "TARGET EARTH THIS MAN" at booth 406!
Secret version x 5
Normal version x 10

Delivery in January.

This is a new sculpt still unknown to me but pictures will be posted here, http://sofvilife.exblog.jp/ tomorrow.

I did some googling on "this man" and found this, but I am not sure if it has anything to do with this release;
