 Michael Lau Howdy,
This has been brought up before, but are there any lau collectors on this board? I'm really feeling those futura/womax figs that were just released. I'm probably gonna pick em up...anyone else?

I like Lau somewhat, but haven't pulled the trigger on any of his stuff (mostly due to cost).
can you post pics of your collection again to inspire us?

I have only a few pieces, and 5 of the six Tom Kids - those are by far my favorite Lau figures - so nicely made by Dragon, each one a custom size, super articulated, and with a satisying ratchetted posability to them.
Got me a signed Clockwork Orange shoe when I was lucky enuf to meet Mr Lau at an opening at DPHMI in London in 2005.

The new 3300 releases are the first for a long while that have struck the right note.
The Pointmen aren't officially endorsed by Futura but definitely a homage to . . . they tie in real nice to the Future (Futura 2000) and Womax (James Lavelle: Mo'Wax head honcho) mini Gardeners released at the same time.
Also released a collaboration with Prodip. 4 colours of an alien being featured in a forthcoming film project.
The Maharishi variants of 'em all kill!
. . . . all waaaay more interesting than the Mr Shoe, Nike, World Cup, corporate endorsed pap he was startin' to churn out!
Still on the slow boat heading to the UK!

Oddly enough a couple of CAT figures (which the mystery part came with) turned up with real low starting prices at the same time . . . probably be worthwhile buying the CAT figure and offloading it cheap without the mystery part!

Lau lost me for a while. I didn't care for the new York Fat series or the Box like figures.
But these new ones...awesome. I'll definitely grab a couple.
There's something almost Barry McGee like about the alien figure.

I've got some Lau too... just picked up the yellow NY Fat/Tatoo set. It comes in a metal spray can box too...I kind of lost interest when Mr. Shoe and the football guys came out. But the new ones might bring me back

I think I recognize a few names here from the old Ningyoushi Michael Lau forum. CrazyNews has been pretty good with new release info but doesn't seem to have the same traffic or following of the Ningyoushi days.
The lull between Gardener releases left me to take on a new Secret Base addiction but I definitely agree that the Future and Womax releases got me excited again.
The Future Pointman chase is definitely one of my new favorites.
