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

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Would that be the "Cock In My Pocket" Iggy version?

The only thing I'm having a hard time with this new figure is trying to picture other colors it would look good in. I feel like the problem with any sofubi of a fairly realistic human is that it often only looks good when painted in some fairly realistic human colors. But I could be wrong.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Nzombie is a bit to gross for my collection. but I had a fucking blast grossing my girlfriend out with one at the dinner table haha.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think HB nailed it for me. I also find those lines annoying and even if the detail in general is there, the maggots kind of remind me of Zollmen papa's cum drops (which I love but with the time spent on all the gore and the missing chunks of flesh I would expect the same attention everywhere).

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Well the line has to be drawn somewhere! I'm sorry, but castrated penis/accentuated camel toe is where I draw that line!

Nah, I don't really believe a line should be drawn anywhere, that just goes against art in general. I'm just one critic amongst a large crowd and my opinion is no more valid than the next persons. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I like about this sculpt, but there's enough praise going around so I just figured I'd point out what I don't appreciate so much. I would still like a full body shot to see Shigeru's work in all it's castrated glory.

Really, I think I was just expecting more underneath the rags. It might be a little cliché, but I was hoping to see intestines spilling out all over the place, I've always been a sucker for guts, or something a little more exciting than a castrated penis.

Oh, and prolapsed anus trumps castrated penis any day of the week, duh.

Shigeru should have given the zombie a prolapsed anus. "Fecal Japan" ver. anyone? Header courtesy of rotten.com.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Even one of the 8 lucky lottery winners doesn't like it. Already up on evil bay. Mishka should get his info and refuse to sell to him.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

$350 for real? Guess my guess of $150-$200 was way off.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I'm naive, but I was not expecting gore underneath. I thought there would be some kind of eyes
like on the 4 eyes version, on its anus or something

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I know 350 seems high but for such a complex detailed paint app you would understand if you saw it in hand. Between the paint, clothing and attention to detail I don't know how he was able to do these as a run. It must have took forever.

There seems to be a doll eye as well, it's not just a painted eye.

To me it seems like shig really wanted a toy where he could spend his time painting how he really enjoys which is a bit more realistic.

Also shig is a real cool guy, seems to always be in good spirtis last night. It's was great to hang out with the guy

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I understand but still wouldn't drop it for THIS version. It's not for me, but I'll admit it's pretty nuts detail-wise.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Looking at the toenails from afar,,,I'm sold just on those details alone..

I'm also a sucker for dolly clothing

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

You think 350 is too much, I'd love to see how much it fetches when flipped.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I love this toy. I finally have a zombie I can use when my daughter wants to play Barbies.
Also who said his penis was bitten off? Maybe it just fell off.

Seriously, hanging out with Shigeru this weekend was a blast. Hearing about the process and talking to him, you could really tell he puts his heart and soul into each toy and it shows. No picture on the internet will ever convey that. Im sure the people who bought one will agree with me on this. There's a lot of toymakers out there that have lost that and it's refreshing to still see it.
Also everyone is complaining about the price. It's like hearing people complain about the price of a Lambo or a mansion. "Damn! How much? But it's just a car or a house!"
Any of the toy manuf and customizers that saw this toy will all agree it was Way more work than any Gargamel 1-off and how much do you guys pay for those? You feel me?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

"when" flipped? I think you mean "after a few more days" And it'll probably be insane. Again, those high ass Nag prices of +$1,000, less then a handful of people are paying that. So I'm sure it'll be one of 4-5 people as usual going nuts.

My price woe isn't a complain and has NOTHING to do with lack of respect for Shig, I just don't care about this one. I also don't care for the "Dead Meat" Nags and was never into them, not a bloody flesh pile guy. Now gimme one that's similar to the Black Nag or some other versions and I'm interested! Hair?! OH DAMN!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Couldn't have said it any better ! A production run of what is basically a one off super complex paint app.

Trust me if I had been able to snag one it would have been a no brainer. I know that once any of you guys see one in hand your feelings will change.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I know exactly who the flipper / flippers are. It's fucking lame to tell you how much they like your stuff to your face and then flip it the same night. Totally wack ....

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

It was great seeing you Rich and glad you could meet Shig. Yeah I figured you would totally agree because only people who actually make and paint the toys could ever understand.

One more thing, just to give you guys a glimpse of Shigeru's perfection standard, I watched him staple the header cards on the bags. He was so meticulous that he removed the staple a few times on each bag because he wanted it to sit perfectly with the card.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Also Shigeru's bummed about the guy who photo that Tara version. That was a private meeting he had at the con with her to discuss the collaboration. Whoever took those photos did it on the sneak tip and didn't even ask for permission. Fucked up and you owe Shig and Tara an apology

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I can see the details in the paint but the sculpt is junk. It's getting a killer paint job on your '94 Geo Metro

That's fucked.
Flippers suck.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Well...since no full nude photos have shown up is there any way you can tell us where it's articulated?

Just off the top of my head I'd like to see it in light green, light blue, light purple, grey; those are just if you keep the same kind of bloody/decayed color scheme and are changing up the skin tone only. If you start changing everything throughout the whole color scheme? Or change up the clothes to show a little more skin? The sky's the limit. I want to see him in cutoffs and a wife beater.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Now I'll have this in my head for the rest of the day !

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think this is just the beginning. So much potential for paint apps on this guy.

And if anyone thinks shig is about hype, if you ever meet the guy you will see that it's just not the case. All this hype is built up second hand. From what I saw the guy just loves his toys and has a vision of what they should be.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Obliged for the link but I guess I was maybe more interested in knowing if the knees/elbows were jointed. Thanks though

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

the video is up on Clutter of the "private conversation"
It seems to be right in the middle of the convention floor, not very discreet.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think some of you "collectors" need to appreciate artists more. These toys are art to them they put their heart and soul into them, it's not about money and its not about making it fit into your collection.
