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

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Hate to kiss this guys ass, but Blood always knows what the fuck is up and tells it like it is.

Some people are going to dislike the figure only because Shigeru made it, while some are going to love it for the same reason.

People are going to critique the shit out of anything Shigeru puts out now or in the future due to the history of the Boryoku Genjin, that is expected, so there's no point in crying about people being hyper critical. It doesn't matter what Shigeru came up with next, as long as we know who made it, none of us here will ever have an unbiased opinion as long as we've witnessed and contributed to the discussion on the hype behind the Boryoku Genjin. If Shigeru was to read the "negative" comments (I think those in defense of Shigeru are mistaking hyper critical analysis of the figure as pure negativity), he wouldn't really have the right to complain, as the issues most people have in regards to NagNagNag as an entity are a result of the sales and distribution method, which was a decision made by Shigeru, and Shigeru alone. This bitterness was bound to be carried along to the next thing brought on by Shigeru as long as he kept his current business model, which I assume is definitely the case with this figure. However, I doubt Shigeru really cares what we think, as his current business model, though I and many others don't agree with it, seems to be working just fine.

There's just too much cognitive dissonance around here. I think people don't know what they want anymore. Some people want the figure 'cause it's hot, others know their chance of scoring is probably going to be slim, so they're going to try to convince themselves that it's "not all that great," others are ashamed to want a figure strictly due to hype, so they attempt to assure themselves along with others that they "genuinely" like the figure, which may be true, but their "need" to have the figure is most likely fueled by the hype, at least to some extent. Like I said, and this relates to Blood's original statement, I don't think any of us here have an unbiased opinion, no matter what we try to make ourselves or others believe.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think the only thread I ever hated on was the Kaws thread. I am a fan of Kaws but I think the toys he puts out are overpriced and overhyped

Especially for the fact that they are made in China and usually have a run of 500 pcs +

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

This is my point. If you dont even like the Nag why do you come to this thread then? Just to hate. Its like seriously not necessary really. If you told me you were a Nag fan but not fan of this scuplt is one thing. but to come into this thread and just hate? its pathetic.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Just let me know how you feel when you see it in person. Like I said, I didnt really like it when I saw the photos, but loved it when I got to see it and hold it.

Its actually going to be less than some of the nag releases because he brought it direct to the states.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know when I came to SB that I wasn't allowed to read all topics? It's called 'view new posts'. I was perusing, saw the pic and made a comment. It's not some big plot like you think. And have I used the word HATE? I said don't like, never said hate. But since you like to up it a notch on the personal level I think YOU are pathetic.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I saw Shig tonight! He's such an oddball! And no I didn't see any nag anything.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

the chases cart

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

The more I see this guy the more possibilities I see. How about a dead hulk version !!

And man I hope Shig is there all weekend, would love to meet the man

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

*cough*

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Any idea if/when this might pop up at the Con? There was no sign of it at your booth.... which wouldn't sell anything.... for two hours.... but that's besides the point

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Any chance you guys can keep it to PMs until we actually see what's under the clothes, and then you can all start arguing again?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

From L'amour's Instagram,


SO. VICIOUS!

Are there only ONE of these?
If not, can someone pick me up one?!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I wanted to display the new NZOMBIE without clothes because it's the sickest thing I've held and seen. Shig said he wants the buyer to be surprised if they buy one. He calls the reveal a secret for each owner to discover. And anyone who just buys and sells without opening will be bereft of the surprise. Pretty fucking zen. Shig is at the MISHKA booth. I watched him bag up his toys and talk aboutthe process. He truly is a zen punk master when it comes to making toys.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Will he be there all weekend ?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

so they are being sold at nycc.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

amazing, luckily for the people who go to the NYCC

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Damn!!!! I was right there.... those were nowhere to be found when you guys opened.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

So no word on when they go on sale? or day even?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Price and availability?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I have to know more, someone buy me one and I'll do you a solid and give a no flip guarantee lol. Like most people I would like to see it nekid to really weigh in. It's different for sure but fascinating. I loved the hyper detail on the nagballs but they still had a toy feel. Not my normal cup of tea but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Yeah, I just want to see it revealed. I don't own any nags. I am just curious. I do like the nag balls.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I like the zombie to the right.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

SHIT... isn't that a NAGball box right next to it? Don't tell me they are selling NAGballs at NYCC!
