    Here are the 3 "Are you Fucking Zombie!?" figures that I picked up at NYCC from Clutter. They are blind-bagged in a sturdy foil bag with a small header. Very happy to have scored 3 different figures! There are 2 other figures from what I understand.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were painted, after seeing the promo graphic below, I assumed they would be unpainted.

    Very cool little sofubi toys (about 3") with an interesting story. The description on Restore's site loosely translates to "This is a surreal story to hold a warning for modern people who are stuff-dependent and characterless.", I also found a longer description on the MAN-E-TOYS news site: “There was an epidemic called “Zombing” in Neo Japan world. Experienced an unknown phenomenon that all of the people begin to become identical faces and lose their individuality. Common point among people who infected with the disease was that it was only modern people who have depended on convenient “STUFF” which some company churned out…”

    I really like those. The one on the left reminds me of an old newspaper comic-strip character but i cant quite place it.

    I was lucky to get one of the past yellow versions last year through Mintyfresh. I guess they found a small stock of them hidden away in there warehouse.

    Restore is making some great work these past few months.


    That new one looks like it's going to be as good as the rest. I hope to get my hands on it eventually.

    Anyone pick up a blank Neo Japan or Meat figure from Lulubell before the pre-order closed today?

    Considering its been not easy to get Meat figures i picked up a blank white one. Not going to paint it as i find its good as is. I should be getting the black and purple painted Meat pre-order from last year within the next few months pretty soon to.

    Yeah you only had like a day or two at the most to pick one up. And it was unlimited orders so if your really good at spray painting you could probably make some wicked 1 off pieces.

    I got a flesh colored Neo Japan- I like the vinyl color and it's a great price for someone like me who has never seen it in person.

    Yeah i was having a hard time deciding which but since i have a green hilt blank GID version of Neo already i decided to go with the Meat for right now. :razz:

    Hes definitely an awesome figure especially with that sword accessory that fits snugly in his hands and on his back.

    I grabbed one of those flesh Neo Japan as well. They are just way too cool to pass up.

    I wanted the chameleon but can't afford any more blanks right now.

    Either way, the first price for this paint contest is bananas. It is going to be a great turnout for it.

    Picked up my first Iron Meat figure, it's incredible.

    The paint, sculpting and quality are outstanding. The clear skull cap and belly meter window are clear soft vinyl, the hands pop in and out flawlessly.

    The F'ing CD-ROM drive in the back of his head with a little Restore disc! Badass.

    Took him to the ghetto for some pics.

    A military green color scheme at least for one of the releases would be fucking badass. I cannot wait to see all the color waves that pop up for this guy.

    The arms remind me of the mecha suits from the Megaman series. Big forearms and whatnot.

    I like this more than the original Iron Meat sculpt but that's just my taste. Iron Meat is a great clean sculpt.

    It'd be cool if they are add ons to the existing iron meat - like a set of battle armor

    They might if enough ppl ask. But i look at the first design as a prototype and this version as a battle hardened military upgraded version. Notice how the head has no exposure of the brain whatsoever. Its all encased in metal armor from what it looks like to me. So it make sense to give the design an entire overhaul if its solely built for the purpose of killing.

    I consider the first version more of a civilian model. And there is nothing wrong with that iv got at least 2 or 3 of the normal meat figure.
