New Woodring/Presspop collaboration.

Don't worry - everything will be OK. But what's up with that Pupshaw upthread? Was she in a fight or something?

 

Damn, late to to the party on those Lorbos. Are they anywhere to be found?
On a similar note, just got that huge Gary Panter book, surprised he hasn't had
a few kaiju made, aside from Jimbo.

 

oh my flippin goodness.
Lorbo looks fantastic.

 

The mono black and orange ones are sold out, but the 2 standard versions haven't been released yet.

everyone here with the inquiries reserved these back in august, and got confirmation emails. it said they were to be released in sept. but have not received invoices or anything.
i imagine they are delayed or we are all SOL.

 

First western toy in a while I have been interested in. great paint app. shits got POP.

 

Does presspop do their toys in China or Japan? Anyone know?

 

There located in Tokyo but I guess that does not %100 guarantee the vinyl is made there.

 

Both, but mostly China. Quality is usuallly very good either way.

 

LORBO IN!
(made in china)







All in all, he looks pretty good. can';t wait for the painteds! and looks like in time for xmas, too!

 

Looks great, I bet the painted pieces will look fantastic. The header art is primo. How does Lorbo feel vinyl-wise? Any concerns about the quality?

 

Oh cool, so mine will likely arrive any day now. Whooo!

I'd like to see a GID version, but what else is new?

 

Mine arrived today as well. The vinyl & molding is good quality, not as nice as Garamel or M1, but not bad. I want to see the painted before I commit.

(And Playdough, take the cheap display stands off their feet - they stand fine w/out them.)

 

i had no idea this was a three-zero project, but that's where my delivery came from. It's nice and heavy for it's size.

 

Oh those came out nice, I had to pass on my preorder unfortunately, what with the no extra money thing.

 

The black is really nice, brings out the cool silhouette

 

Argh ! Lorbo did'nt get in today. I was sssso sure to get it today when I saw evilrabbitry's post

daaaamn! - i need one of these glow lorbos


got through checkout only to be quoted a shipping fee of $82 something to Australia

for 1 figure!?? - only available option so had to bail at the last minute

 

I have the same issue...just find a trustworthy American friend stateside to relay it to you, it will be much cheaper. Its pretty big run so it shouldn't be gone too quickly...(i hope)

 

Anyone else NOT receive their Lorbos yet? Still waiting for mine.

 

I'm ok. Hope you get it soon..

 

To those of you who have the actual toy. how is the sculpt? Pictures never do it justice. Are they western toy good or japanese toy good?

 

I'd definitely put it in the japanese toy good category. Jim's character was just so fully captured in the sculpt that I'm still impressed with every detail they were able to pack in. Very, very nice.
