And it was immediately offered at ridiculous prices just to get people excited.

 Re: The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread
I can respect the time and energy put into making it but it's got too much going on imo and doesn't mesh well together. I'm curious what the appeal with it is and why it's so damn expensive.

 Re: The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread
they are pretty amazing in hand. this latest release seems to be made out of a milky grey vinyl with a very fine glitter and then painted very subtly in a color that i can only describe as pencil lead. the vinyl itself is very thick, almost zenith'ish and the they are quite heavy. combine all of that with the 4 faces, 360 degree rotating head and torso that can be front or back in almost any combination you turn them in and i don't feel like $200 is that expensive. i'll try to toss up some better pictures soon. godsendconspire wrote: I can respect the time and energy put into making it but it's got too much going on imo and doesn't mesh well together.

Almost all sofubi is expensive compared to 'regular' toys. I can honestly say i've never bought a toy because of 'hype'. Quite the opposite.

Well said Moog and BHK.. It really is a hefty slab of vinyl! I enjoy all the faces and surprising playability it has, even though it is a bit of shelf hog, and kooky as all hell.. Anyway, I lucked out and grabbed one of the Rampage editions for this past NYCC. Jon always does the best paint apps! Apologies for these sort of drab photos btw, I literally prop pieces of paper up to make a ghetto style sort of light box.. If you couldn't already tell.

I'm digging the rampage colors and I didn't realize you could position the head 4 ways.

BigHead I'm looking at your Nag photo wondering if his eyes are upside down or just painted over.

 Re: The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread
All jokes aside... I know that anything NAG related gets shit, andddd yes it's an overpriced hyped toy, BUT, at the end of the day I still think it's a great well painted and executed toy.

All jokes aside, I can't even begin to put into words how terribly distracting that shitty little bracelet-thingy is.
