    So is that a compliment, an insult, or just an objective observation? :lol:

    He's here in San Francisco today. Where's our giant web banner?

    $850! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    NAG prices are just DUMB! I wonder if anyone that pays these CRAZY retail prices or SUPER LAME flipper prices even like them or just into it for the hype/bragging rights??

    Yes, just like everything else prices will flatten out and drop. If you don't see that you are an idiot.

    I wonder if we could get Buff Monster to do a run, that Mishka would sell via Mark Ryden's Instagram, that Gary Basemen fondled while Frank Kozik watched?? Retail would be 2K!

    I wish someone would bootleg these and give them away :)

    Maybe he really just wants to have sex with all the MISHKA hipsters. That would explain the obsession with the word, the weird homo eroticism, the brahness of everything.

    Maybe he was commanding all people in Brooklyn and the Bronx to have an orgy? Anyway, I'm pretty sure you'll get your banner in due time...

    Re: A Nag Pa I Root

    I'm wondering what the scene at Kozik's studio is going to be like. Will several people show up with $850 cash at the ready and then have to submit to a live on-site lottery? If so I guess that eliminates the conspiracy theories about rigged lotteries and playing favorites, at least for the purpose of this sale but it also seems possible that not many will show up given what appears to be a general lack of enthusiasm for Nags in the Bay Area. Whatever the case, if you go, keep your dollars close to the vest, so to speak. Probably not a good idea to be walking around with that kind of cash coin, especially given that the cash-only stipulation was broadcast on the 'net. You don't want Sam showing up with a weapon or matted bangs or whatever. :shock:

    Well, that may be a stretch. Everyone in California knows there isn't a single attractive individual living North of the valley, so...

    Fact!

    The art talk is catastrodiculous. Missing the old head more and more by the day, those new heads ...

    Re: A Nag Pa I Root

    It is hard to tell the detail from those pics (and them being unpainted) but they definitely look much more cartoony/cutesy than the OG head. I think for a lot of people the original appeal was the crudeness of the Caveman, so I am not sure. You can see now though where the J. Ryan art is coming from more though. I wonder where this new direction came from, it kind of was there with the later doll eyes I suppose, and then the eyelashes, but really it was the Tara Nag (and art) that might have set it off.

    The paint job is quite stunning as is the level of attention to detail.

    I just miss the original head. The eyes and mouth were a little bit more expressive to me and not as cartoony.

    Re: A Nag Pa I Root

    Good WTF expression on that second one, i must concede. Is it just me or is the texture not matched to the bodie's ? Yes Kevin, i was wondering if the change in style was catering to a wider art/kr crowd.

    Also, what is the Kozik input here, color choice, special header, venue landlord ?

    There's no question a lot of work went in to these. The paint looks very incredible. Though it is hard to say what the colours are exactly, but it looks like a more camo version then the 'camo.' The metallics are at least toned down some from the last ones we saw. Got to say, the acrylic (?) teeth really are probably a hate or it love it type thing, and definitely counteract some of the cuteness in the smaller heads.

    as far as effort....Shigeru painted the last few sets of eyes here. It takes him about 2-hours to paint each eye and insert it.

    looks like the top and back (?) of the head matches the overall body. the eyes not so much. If I had to chose i'd say i like the siamese one better than the two eyed one.

    Im liking that two eyed head a lot.still not as much as the older ones but it still has a weird creepy feel to it more so than the cute siamese head.

    the eyes have about 5 layers of detail, separated by clear coats. they look really 'deep' in real life.
