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

Wow..... Love the siamese the most.

 

Japan is a high priced place to make ANYTHING. They have a small but highly skilled work force and their factory technology was second to none until China started making super factories in the larger industrial cities. Clothing made in Japan is of the highest quality available anywhere outside of Seville Row tailors. Japan has brought back such fabrics as ringspun cotton (now a staple in american high end clothing) and selvage denim (quickly becoming the standard for high end jeans everywhere). Sewing is more on the order of what you used to see out of Milan tailors and Japan's seam, tape and labeling work is breathtaking (to those of us who make clothing at least). Here in America we are used to cheaper t-shirt prices since most companies doing business in this country make their t-shirts domestically except when things are sewn from scratch and heavy embellishment is used. Then it shifts to China for the most part. Even then most brand name shirt are now around 25-30 dollars. Is Japan quality that much better? Yes. Are you willing to pay the price for quality clothing? Depends. One thing you can be sure about though, only serious clothing companies work in Japan. Much of what is sold for cheaper in Japan is made in Vietnam or China much as it is here.

 

So is it safe to assume a red version of ol' 4 eye will be the next 4 eyed done? COOP, more pics of the Siamese (if you please.)

 

I always thought the original nag sculpt was my favorite. But seeing that shot, it might have just changed to the 4 eyes.

 

Wow...............WOW.

 

yep, well I diodnt like the original, but out the 3, the 4 eyes is my fave too. It is a I FART A LOT to pop those sleepy eyes in?

 

This is an incredible set COOP. Congrats !
Your works on the headers and side-arts are now a complete part of Nag's releases personality.

 

What he said. The Flat Head has a workshop full of antique equipment, like selvedge looms and chain-stitch embroidery machines, that they brought over from the US and refurbished to make their clothing. Their quality is insane.

 

Big factories ! Cheap Vinyl ! Rotocast ! Bad Design ! = The Chinese solution to put a 6 dollar Nag in every home :



No dumby, No Dolly ! Look into my eyes....

 

^^^please remove offensive material^^^

 

You should do another one, but take a dremel to the surface and roughen it up before painting.

 

You really want me to cut the ears off ?

 

He's talking about the picture of the custom dummy. I think its pretty funny myself, BUT. SKULLBRAIN never was, and never will be a home for KRap. Again a funny custom, This just isn't the place.

 

yea there are way too many pics of dummys runnin around here right now.

 

truer words have never been spoken.

 

Kinda catch 22 as this is the only place people would get the joke.

 

Its especially bad timing since in american idols theres a dummy thread all of a sudden.

 

Yes i know I was commenting on the content of both threads and on how the subjects of interest in both of them seemed to converge for a moment on Japanese vs Chinese craftsmanship.

 

I just got an email from Shigeru - the proceeds from the first T-shirt sale are being donated to disaster relief.

 

Great news!

 

Shigeru is a great person ---- IMO
Hopes no more disaster in Japan....

 

T-shirts shipped out EMS, thats pretty quick considering everything that's happened. It's awesome it turned into a fundraiser, takes the sting off the price.

 

Ooo, the Z's are different now. Shig needs to learn about transparent layers.

 

While hardly a bargain, it's good to see flipped Nags fall back into the three digits.
