As a lucky cat collector this has been incredibly frustrating for me. The batches now are tiny and disappear (even from the secondary market) before I even usually see the announcements. Does anyone know why Mori stopped dealing with US stores?
^^ I've always assumed that its a language barrier thing as well as maybe he doesn't need the extra hassle. He obviously makes a perfectly good living just selling to Japanese collectors . . . . There are plenty of Sofubi manufacturers that dont deal directly with foreigners - like Bear Model for example.
I was under the impression that Mori still has the clothing / toys store in a more central location and the tiny one above replaces Shinto Gangu . . . From Kaiju Korner: The current address on the Real Heads website/blog:
I was also wondering where to find them since the Tokyo Underground 2 book had the old addy. Thanks for sharing the info! Looking at the way he releases on Instagram hopefully I can visit twice while I'm over there in august.
Curious about the "New" Hone borg release. I can't tell if it's a rerelease or new but looks identical to older version minus the foot stamp
Moog, I think you're mixing up the fight fig release with the new DX 'Adult' sized Borg. The fight figure release in the center of your pics seems to be a re-do of an older release. All of the other pics you posted are of a totally different, brand new toy at the 8" size.
Um. Not really. Maybe i misunderstood the post by Bryce. I was assuming he was asking about the difference between the 8" Borg and the newer 8" version with its new head and weapon hands. I only included the old fight figure pic for comparison . . . .
Ah, I gotcha. I was assuming he was asking about the new painted fight figure release. I guess one of us will have answered whatever his question actually was
Hey did anyone catch this pic on Instagram? Is this bean an actual release, or a custom? I can't quite tell if it's marbled vinyl or clear painted on the inside, but if it's marbled it's crazy cool. View this post on Instagram
The trials and tribulations of a new board. Wish I could help Bryce, I'm still trying to get used to this! And wow, that Chaos Bean looks exactly like glass. My best guess though is marbled vinyl.
Never been a RxH fan, but I have been really digging some of the adult figures they have been putting out.
Going to try and remember what RxH had when they were in Santa Cruz: View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram There was this and a yellow-orange colored one as well View this post on Instagram Just the adult version View this post on Instagram There were some small fortune cats, a tanuki, and some other small toys that I can't remember as well as one of those 4 legged toys but not in the color I posted below.
