    On a serious note, did I miss the lottery for the print? :cry:

    Yes, and even at a limited number of 150 there were too many applicants and there had to be a lottery.

    i mean, we knew what to expect from the previous posts he's made of the sculpt.

    i think the eyes are indeed an issue in my book but i'm positive they're not all going to have those eyes. imagine it with a reg back dot or (!) lizard eyes

    The original teaser pic didn't do much for me, but these pictures make it seem pretty playable.

    I do like the eye, looks more cartoonist...... but lizard eyes will be great too.

    The proportions make it feel like a very generic, stylized toy with a cartoon tie-in, that would be sold at TRU.
    It's well sculpted, I just don't care for it.
    I'd love to see a Mecha Ju in that green though! Well, by "see" I mean "own".

    Eyes and paint job are meh, but I still love the sculpt. An unpainted would be pretty sweet. Or a set :shock:

    My thoughts exactly.

    While its a great sculpt, I don't know if its the paint job or the over-exaggerated face/body, but its definitely has a TRU vibe going on. Playskool even.
    I would love to see a mixed-parts.

    Again, neat and looks "fun". Totally a "toy" in all ways.

    i don't know how comfortable i am doing this but since it's already been done, i was thinking something like this. dunno if it makes it any better really. it's a cool sculpt with a lot of potential.

    I love everything except the eye. This green is perfect for the sculpt IMO. Wouldn't mind a Mecha with the same scheme, like NT said. Or the already released green GoJu.
    All I hope is all the people not liking it don't enter when the lottery comes.

    I really like the more "cartoon" proportions. I think it really pushes the sculpt in a different direction than most dino toys.
