Re: Anraku Photos! medicom folks Flippers are not silly. If they are buying multiples in anticipation of price increases instantly on delivery, they seriously need to have their brains examined. Rather than the flippers, I think this release will see every fringe collector who always wanted a goga in the collection or seeing one in real for the first time getting one. When in hand, some of these collectors will see that the goga don't fit into their collection or the excitement of finally owning a piece of AA wears off or HxS/Nag are more bankable than AA since they remained unattainable or for whatever reasons, this is when the sell-off starts and your best chance of getting a goga under retail happens. Not a bad strategy. At near 20,000yen a pop including delivery, I think one should really like these before ordering since you are unlikely to be able to get back what you paid. But who knows
Re: Anraku Photos! yep no shame here. bring on the pre-order unflippable anraku lite very much anticipating a mini dako for 40 bucks. that is seriously my toy dream come true
Re: Anraku Photos! Definitely perfect, Rob. The first entry in the upcoming SB kaiku poetry thread. And thus the worlds become merged and come full circle.
Re: Anraku Photos! On sale at medicom from august 24th to september 30th... Dako 16,800円 Mini dako 3,800円 Woman 2,800円 Delivery in december... Sweet!
Re: Anraku Photos! Yes - Gogas up now Perhaps these same stores will have the others as well thanx Brobles TAG Lulubell Toy Bodega C.J.Mart etc
Re: Anraku Photos! Me too. After loving the animations from way back and being enchanted with the older releases, the colorways on these Gogas are a big disappointment. Easy pass for me... Amen!
Re: Anraku Photos! even if Anraku is my favorite artist, I do not like this subject. ... and even the new dragons overly actionfigures
Re: Anraku Photos! Talk about a multiple discovery, everyone is making sea monsters. I prefer upright beasts, but I will reserve my judgement. Anraku is a master of texture, and if the bulk is there and the texture is there it could be very cool.
Re: Anraku Photos! Looks like we'll be seeing the figure fairly soon... I think there is also another figure coming soon (Teruryu Dora Golas).
Re: Anraku Photos! I think the Glutamine is the only other smoothed out figure of his. In that case it didn't really matter though, as it is such an off the wall sculpt.
Re: Anraku Photos! I also do not appreciate glutamine (similar style to the new bear) for its design but some versions of it make me crazy for the vinyl used and painting
Re: Anraku Photos! That raccoon was one of the animations that he made a long time ago. Nobody remembers these things around here anymore? Fairly certain he worked in some type of advertising so it would make sense that he did a video/toy like this. At the risk of sounding more "Trumpish", I can think of a lot of other "original designs" that people do around here that are way more "stupid" than this.
