    5 colors of tightly applied spray, primarily utilized to accent the sculpt's details, with over half of the base vinyl left exposed to sell the story? Win.

    Don't forget the bwain gimmick!

    I think the spine is rather swoon-worthy, too.

    Considered? 'Taint an unofficial thing about it! :D

    My favorite? No. Compared to everything else in the thread? Best toy in the world!

    Yeah, I am down with the Beams 'cloud' MG release, too, but I also can totally appreciate it is a bit of off-shoot and would not appeal to everyone. That being said though, it is fully in line with other Beams' takes, captures this CULTART aesthetic perfectly I think, and is far better executed than anything else in the vein of customs or the work in this thread. So yeah, basically what I am saying is that it is deviation from standard/traditional MG paints, but I can see room for it in this hobby, if not to general wide appeal.

    I love visiting BEAM's and checking out all the overpriced, next-level creative, eye-opening, inspirational craziness that they always have going on, be it clothing, object d'art, books or toys . . . but never buy anything there.

    This falls within that remit.

    this 100% . Its not my taste at all but I think its well done. Its a masterpiece compared to these custom day-glow clusterfucks that curse this thread.

    The slight OCD in me is so so so bothered that only one of his “nostrils” is blue. Also not a fan of the Easter pastels. Of course, that’s just my opinion. Fugly enough to be here? Nahhh.
    Daaaamn. The only thing that sets those two mouths apart is a flip and another row of teeth. Otherwise they’re the exact same mouths. I have no idea how anyone can rip off someone’s design so obviously and not expect to be called out for it.

    I think the blue / cloud idea works well, but not the rest. I would've used colors more suggestive of a sunset or storm. Or just more silver & gold! As is, this paint scheme would be better left for an actual "cute" toy, or a kid's bedroom walls.

    Out of everyone's opinions so far, I think this is closest to how I feel. At the risk of repeating myself, I think elaborate customs like this just distract your eye away from the toy itself. The painter is using the toy as a blank canvas, forcing their vision onto it, rather than working with it.

    The pink, yellows and greens are throwing me off(and for whatever reason making me think of an olive loaf) but I actually kind of adore that cloud effect! The grey, silver and blue are real lovely. Though when I think of mecha Godzilla I don’t necessarily imagine dreamy cloud gazing :lol:

    Okay, I know opinions are like assholes, but here is mine: the cloud effect strikes me more like graphics than a paint scheme. Too literal for my tastes.

    Seeing some toys in this thread often makes me think I exist in a completely different world of this hobby.

    Not saying it wasn't made out of love, and that a lot of time, care, and yes, skill went into its creation, but the arrived upon result is just singularly unappealing to me. Rich's toys aren't my thing, but its not difficult for me to imagine what others see in them, and there's always an appealing balance in the sculpts. This guy, though, just looks awkward to me, with no one detail resolving the other.

    This is the minority report, I know this, and one man's goth is another's Garfield.

    Rich is a nice guy and one hell of an artist, but he's a sensitive soul online. Here's hoping he doesn't take this the wrong way, but its not one of his best, probably because its a 'tribute' to an existing classic, and not one of his original designs.

    @toothaction Ok, I’ll chime in, because I personally like the Kakumon figure very much- to me it’s akin to a good cover song, where the band playing takes an older song you already love and puts their own spin on it.

    Like Rage against the Machine covering The Rolling Stones.

    Indeed, plenty of examples of recycled / reimagined sofubi sculpts out there ...

    Some are hits, some are misses. Its all subjective.
