A Nag Pa I Root (NAGNAGNAG) and der Angora Patio

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Nice Zap.

I would just like to say that clearly this toy sucks balls. That is unless I can get one, then surely it is the best thing to ever happen to vinyl.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Wondering if the nagball is from previous release or new paint release?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Okay. After alot of staring at the zombie all day. I think its starting to grow on me. I can only imagine the detailed sculpt beneath clothes. Try and imagine really detailed guts oozing from the abdomen. That only should have people hooked. Besides. Shig has never let anyone down why would he start now.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

haha is that the eyeball from the skunk ape [expletive deleted]?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Tbh I may be wrong but I can't remember other threads with people saying that the same stuff they sell is next level shit, that it blew their mind et cetera. I think many people here see SB as a fan board and that's the reason why they come and comment, be it good or bad; in this sense I agree with Lixx, this ain't nag hate, just some people don't like what they're seeing. You can avoid negative comments if you don't like something but you're not better for that, I think people should be free to say what they feel and if they're offensive they'll get banned. Personally I'm waiting to see more, not convinced with these first shots and not really into all the hype (or hate, they often seem to serve the same purpose) that has already been created in the previous thread.
With the exception of S7 (after all it's thanks to S7 if we're all here), if everyone making or selling toys on SB were doing the same this place would suck, fortunately enough it's limited to a few.
Just to quote Brian "I think everyone needs to go have a snowcone and relax. These are toys, the sooner you enjoy them instead of freaking out about them you will be okay. (On all sides, producer, collaborator and consumer.)"

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

EX-ACTLY. That quote has been a giant wake-up call for me when I read that interview. Its just a toy, enjoy the hobby, and everything will come around.
Why can't we be happy that Shigeru has made another toy? Celebrate the creativity, money and hardwork that has gone into this. Hell, that goes for ALL toys.
I know it can't be all hippie "love & peace", but I wish we could just enjoy it all. In one way or another, it inspires, creates conversations, and someway or another it all ends of somewhere.
I'll be honest, I don't understand the "craze/hype" around Pushead and his pirates, Onell, Cometdebris Tokoji, Katopes art, or Anraku, Paul Kaiju's Boss Carrion, or hell, some of the redundant kaiju colorways that you see over and over again. I have a hard time understanding the "hype" and craze around those toys and the large collections people own of them on their shelves. It's just "not my thing". But I already said enough about those toys by NOT buying them. I don't need to rain on peoples parades. Why do that? What good does that do? Although its sometimes GOOD to question the reasoning behind it all, or maybe ask why a particular toy is interesting to that individual. But I appreciate it for what it is, and that someone out there is MAKING something. Creating. Molding ideas into reality. And that is what makes me so excited for everything that is made. The craft, knowing that someone hand sculpted this, the vinyl process, and the story behind the toy. Or the mystery.
You can have an opinion, its the internet- the biggest platform to express that. But at the end of the day, nothing has change. That toy is still out there, others will like it. Others will dislike with a passion.
And that's what it trickles down to. There will ALWAYS be someone out there that doesn't like it, and ALWAYS be someone out there that does. And sometimes it takes some "coming around" to understand and appreciate a misunderstood toy. There have been plenty of toys I didn't "understand" but once in hand, or got a backstory on the creative process or what it stands for/reason why it was made, I came back around. IE: Bemon, Ollie, Gorilla-Ju, resin toys in general.

You don't like, don't buy. That is the biggest statement you can make.
You like, then support it by buying.
Move on.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Now on a side note: Anyone want to be my avatar at NYCC and enter in the lottery for me?!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

All I got out of that was craving for a snowcone.

If I could be at home right now, eating a snowcone and rearranging my toys, I would be one happy bastard.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

That makes two of us.
Peach and Raspberry.
Or maybe Orange with Cream.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Dang! The boot and the ball look great.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

^ Nice! ^ That definitely looks like a new nagball... and how about that bootleg? Looks pretty nice too... any more pics of that body? Not into the spiderman one but this definitely looks sweet!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

The body isn't new, it's been released long ago. BUT the nag heads would look great on the new body.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

That head would go great with the new spiderman body. Probably explains the color choice.

Did he only bring one nagball?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Ah cool, thanks for that

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

We had no idea what color he was going to paint them. I think Lamour mentioned that there would be a NagBall release but I could be mistaken

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Speaking of sno-cones... LOVE that icey-clear glazed look!!!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Fuuuuu I'm stuck at work 8 blocks away. Can someone put my name in the lottery!!!!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Sorry about the shit picture. Was trying to focus on the Nagball itself and didn't notice the glare on the bootleg body, which made it look yellowish

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

On the contrary thanks for posting! It looks good enough for me

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I just heard they were all sold out

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

The stuff that was to be lottery drawing on Saturday is sold out?!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I believe he means the lottery tickets for the nagballs. The drawing is at 3. The zombie(s?) is tomorrow.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Gotcha, I went back and realized I misread. I thought both were on Sat. Does anyone who was there today know what time you could get a ticket?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

oh i guess that is what I meant. Im not even there
