Oh no! That's not how you do Glutamine's eyes. Nope!

Looks like this Glutamine is the header version, so wouldn't those eyes be correct?

Anraku had never done it with lashes. I'm just old school, they could at least re-sculpt the eyes with lashes instead of just stenciling it on.

Thanks for posting the next wave of goodies! :shock: That Goga is really nice, and will go well with those cute little hopping ballerina critters. It's nice that AA are finally "normally" priced! :)

I kinda wish I had held out for this Goga instead of the first one now. Anyone miss out on the first and want to buy mine so I can get this new one instead? :D

Toy budget, for me. Which is a lot lower this year.

Although, I do believe that they're Great choices for a Goga pair; showcasing 2 very distinctly different ends of the Goga styling spectrum.

With only making two, I think that the design choices for making both of these was spot on.

If I'm lucky enough to keep both of them, I most certainly will.

I went from revulsion to really liking it in the course of one day! :lol: It has some very nice details once I looked more closely, and looks radically different compared to any other punch.

I'm really liking this glutamine. I don't really find it a turn off if it's more mainstream cute like the panda. What I do wonder about is how splotchy the pink paint looks around the nose. Like it wouldn't really stick to the waxy vinyl...? :?

Anyway, I hope they do more of the minis, those are a must have in any colorway. (I have a thing against standard size stuff in general.)

And to some of the complaints: according to his blog he is very hands on with these releases if Google translator is to be believed.

You said it.

Drunk Boy and a Methyl would be the only others I'd need to hear to be satisfied.

... Come to think of it, wasn't a Methyl announced?

A lot of this conversation has leaned away from showing off photos, and more to general AA discussion. Should I move this thread to the Japan Toys section and rename it, or leave it and migrate everything after this post to a new thread?

^ I've thought about that quite a bit lately, James. Not that I'm a power player in either end of the AA game - so I don't exactly rate a vote - but I think it's a great idea to have a vanity thread and a discussion thread. Do it!

I ended up ordering both the tanuki and panda. They really are so vastly different it didn't really feel like getting 2 colorways of the same toy.

Speaking of which, I'm glad I didn't get both versions of the first offering of goga. I'll definitely be ordering the clear goga. Its breath taking.

Glutamin and gorilla punch are great too! So glad to see everything being offered so far!

Some of you guys are crazy, those first 2 Goga's were great, and capture signature Anraku paint app traits. Clear vinyl sucks, It yellows and looks like shit after 10 years. I'm happy to have grabbed the first Gogas and will sit this clear out.

I think Medicom is moving too fast, and turning off potential buyers, who just can's spend so fast. How about some fulfillment on round 1, before cranking out more open orders.

Definitely agree that they're moving too quickly. Don't agree about the clear though, I think it's beautiful! Though I'm sure I'm going to love the first one that I ordered once I have it in hand. :)

PS - Welcome to the new thread!

You are right. Having to make a choice on AA open runs is cruel...

The clear Goga looks amazing! Has anyone ever ordered from that Medicom email addy on the SofviTokyo site?

Not loving the Guerilla as much as I'd hoped. It looks to hand painted for my tastes, especially the red base coat. Could just be because it's a paint mock up though.

I thought it was clever that this Goga will be cast in a clear brown to give it that aged look.

Too fast here too! I was having a slow year for toys and now its turned right around with all this AA. I'm already placing my orders in the last 1-2 day window.

Thanks for moving this thread, James! I would always forget that it existed in its previous location. Glad to see it here where it belongs.

I am excited to see all these new and affordable releases too, but I am not loving every paint application. Mostly though I couldn't agree more with the sentiment: Slow down the goodness!
