Thanks to everyone's comments. Andy, I just saw your blog with the Nougaki. There are a few I need to get. I can't believe I hesitated on the Rainbow one when it was selling on the forum last week
I am so jealous of that full set of LB GID Nougakis, those are my favorite Chronic figures of all time.
That's a really nice one. The recent painted versions that TT sold at SDCC are also excellent. I'm not sure if TT has any left, but they might.
Somethin' for the Noug heads. Cool one-off GID polka dot Mix Box Nougaki I got in a trade with a very cool collector:
LOL Virus Noug, I hadn't even thought of that Jay! I was thinking along the lines of psychadelic pajama clown. Calvin, the Mix Box card says it's "Only One" or something like that. In Cronic parlay, that usualy means it's a one-off, but like I told the dude I traded with, I'm not 100% sure. I don't know...Is it just me, or is nearly every Cronic Nougaki release just flat out excellent? Of course I like most of his other characters, but it seems to me that he puts a lot into the Nougaki releases. Maybe because they're smaller figures? I dunno....
great looking nougaki, andy. would look nice nested among the GID lucky bag releases from a few years ago... it has like 1 spot from each of their colors.
Thanks. Yes, my head practically exploded on many occasions this past weekend. But what's great, is that nearly every score was aided by a fellow skullbrainer or Tokyo friend. This makes them all fantastic mementos as well!
Thanks! I sat in front of the Cronic booth for an hour before they went onsale. I was third in line and got the last one. It was unclear whether or not he would have one for me, but after the hour long High Noon-type staredown Naoki sold me the one on display. Yes!
am happy that the last zyurai went to you stealth. keep it well, its the first time i have seen that the display piece being sold. its a very very nice gesture from cronic.
Great pickup, Scott - excellent photo. It's been a while since Naoki has sold a display piece to someone.
