Max Toy has a new Tripus release of clear vinyl w/ a rainbow paintjob by Goto-san. Looks pretty nice.
I think I got the last one. I had been wating for the right Tripus and this was it. I actually cheated on my toy diet.
Congrats! I wanted this one - but sold out as soon as I got up and saw teh email this morning. Very nice! Is Tripus made on Japanese vinyl?
I think the Tripus is Chinese vinyl. Not on par w/ obitsu, but not bad (much better than the earlier 'clear' Eyzones). I asked mark awhile back 'why not j-vinyl' & he said he wanted to keep the price down (& it is the price of a fight figure). But I think he may be moving towards j-vinyl.
I got the last red super-painted Trips release (the first at $60), and the vinyl quality is top notch... indistinguishable from a comparable J-vinyl figure. The price is also stellar... I wish I could get other standard kaiju for $60. At least a hundred seems to have become the standard, and it's a shame, because that is a lot of money.
Side by side w/ the Dead Presidents release. Matt's paint has a metallic sheen & Goto-san's is clearer.
Christ, those look badass... Ugh...now y'all've made me regret not jumping on these! Damn these hopes of being fiscally responsible!
These are sweet all right. This is really the only "new" sculpt I still collect, and this is a worthy addition. Very "candy-colored" in person.
