Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. Take that hand, tuck in the middle finger, rotate it 270 degrees clockwise, stick out the thumb and you have my opinion of it.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. And this thread needs a better title or else someone will just post it again.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. I was about to post the same thing as Coop, but i guess its better from his mouth. Also I don't much like either. The middle finger is just too much.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. Bingo. That's super-awkward. And while I love toy punk attitude, the finger is the most obvious way in the world to convey it. Not to my taste but you could do a lot worse. The boots are great.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. Expensive pieces of vinyl aren't exactly punk (unlike BxH like to pretend), so not sure about the middle finger either. And the bat. Ugh. Very nice skull though. Rose (or I dunno, stg else) instead of a bat and a fist instead of a finger and I'd like it. This is from the Toy Punks guys, right? Is vol. 2 supposed to come out one day?
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. Almost. I'd even tolerate the middle finger, if only the grip on the bat was correct.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. Honestly, I don't like it. I dig Mike Giants stuff, but this toy is too Western... needs more gore. Shoulda been more of a mashup between these two: OG LS drawing Later MG drawing or not. His work is usually very illustrative, but still a lot more ornate. This looks a little simplified for his style of work.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. he needs a hat, and a pipe, and a dog-headed cane in place of the bat, and some dapper shoes, and maybe some jewelry, a pinky ring. At that point he will also need a ride and a house.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. It was so refreshing to see the new obake, but this? Is SB putting their name on it too, or just mike giant and reckless toys? I suppose it's cool for what it is, but i'm lost as to what that's supposed to be.
Re: Upcoming Japanese vinyl. Its a mascot toy based on Mike Giant's original Toypunks illo. Looks like Hiddy has lent some of his toy production know-how to the production of what will be a Reckless Toys release. Lots of details here: http://recklesstoys.com/ I'm stoked for these guys, and ill be looking forward to displaying him with some prie BxH!
