The long haul is all well and good, but the chances are you will, at some point, be paying more and supporting someone who bought to flip. As these are all one-offs I'm guessing the prices will be hiked up on the secondary market. There are different types of collectors here. Some seem to revel in the hunt, others like the toys for what they are, and want to be able to enjoy them without having to jump through hoops to get them.
Hell yeah! . . . there's revelling in the hunt and there's being buttfugged . . . I wanna enjoy my toys and the ability to sit down afterwards! Kinda why I'm digging the SOI/S7 stuff rather than letting Anraku, Bemon or whatever else is cool at the minute twist my melons! Downer for Obake Dog collectors though.
I was referring to the "i need this now" "oh its sold out" "heres my want list" "heres the item i just over paid for and I'm now selling 3 weeks later to buy the next i need this now" its not how it used to be for most people around here
I think that melting face would be a rad head, complete with vinyl hat. I want that Geoffrey shirt!!!
As we have seen lately, SB doesn't seem to believe in exclusives, so it may still show up on SB. The first Obake Dogs I have seem that I like as well. Does the head glow?
SB confirmed that these were exclusives but they told me that they might have a different Obake Dog for sale in the future.
here are some better pictures not that it helps getting them: http://hypebeast.com/2009/07/whiz-x-sec ... vinyl-toy/
