Tried my best to search for this brand here rather then starting a thread but I couldn't find any information at all. If I missed something that was already here please just delete this. This is just amazing! One of the my favorite arcade games ever getting a licensed release with a great sculpt is just blowing my mind.
Welcome to your doom!!! This is an immediate must have for me! I still poke fun at the opening "Wise fwom your gwave!" to this day.
Just been adoring this myself. Hope this is a continuing series too. The Sega and Capcom characters of the 16-bit age are perfect toy material, plus they never seemed to exist when I was a kid so this feels like something of a success. Still remember designing my own Cybernator toys out of frustration.
WHAAAA??!! my mind is blown. sculpt is soo good for such a great game. I agree that theres a ton of untapped vinyl awesomeness in genesis games.
so cool. one of my favorite monsters from my youth. I would love a handful of the demonhead projectiles.
Okay, so I don't know if there is a relation or not - it seems like there might not be - but since there is already another Japanese brand/artist called Geek! making stuff (toys) in vinyl, unless I am missing something, it seems people need to be a lot more creative in their naming. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=46767 This is a pretty cool figure though, I have to agree. Well I am more of an 8-bit guy, the lower resolution admittedly does not transfer well into detail for a figure.
nobody has said much about who makes this thing in this thread, and i dont like flesh enough to search it out right now, but i assumed it was called 'geek life'..? I cant wait for a game-accurate painted version.
Here is a write up about them. Its Geek Life and they also make game themed clothing. http://man-e-toys.com/2014/05/09/man-e-news-the-aggar-altered-beast-sofubi-from-geek-life-x-sega
I hadn't checked this thread because I assumed it was about that big boring Bigfoot sculpt... but something made me click it last night... ALTERED BEAST VINYL?!?! Am I dreaming this?!
Same here lol, but oh man, was i surprised, AB was in every arcade back when i was a little kid and when it became available on the Genesis i couldnt put it down, cant wait to get my hands on one of these.
Shinobi shirts are next, I wonder if they're going to make a 1st level boss sofubi for that game too, with a little fireball attachment. That would be awesome!
I think the painted release would look a bit better had the skulls and bones on the lower body been left alone. Or maybe highlighted in a more subtle color... Looks like the figure's head can be swapped with the omake. Very cool.
