Always check the spam folder. Always.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

I don't think this is it...

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

aww man, Congrats to the guys who won.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

As much as I love the Thrashout sprays, this Vader tribute colorway (even down to the lightsaber-like sparkly colored missiles) just about brings a tear to my eye.

Big congrats to the lucky few who were able to corral one!!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

When I sent my lottery info I also mentioned I felt like most flippers were in Japan that were public (YJA/Mandarake) and I asked he keep up the intl. distro and that most of us really appreciate it (with respect and tact.)

I didn't win, so I don't know if he even opened my email, but I felt it was a major point to mention.

Congrats to the winners. I hate you all JEALOUS!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

congrats to the winners... an amazing new piece

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

congrats to the winners!!!

Anyone else wondering if a glitter head variation will show in this batch?
Looks like a matching glitter missile top right to me...

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

Quit teasing, Ian - it's mean!
fwiw, glitter/lame vinyl could rule my life

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

Nothing positive on the lottery entry yet. I'm still hoping a few will not pay and another round will go out. If not, I will prepare my net for throwing out.

I won't rat-out any offers on this one, reasonable or not. I have been waiting to make this sculpt and pain my first Gorrilla-Ju/Mecha-Ju.

Face it, sometimes the old lottery luck just does not pay out, that is I why I can also offer, or a combo between the tho. trades (within reason), plain old cash. Hopefully, I will find a way to get this, my first toy in this series, and avoid any flipping.

That said I'm looking forward for tall the different pictures of this release.

Thanks for all those already posted!

Sick! this was done by Izu from Instinct Tattoo, same guy that did my usugrow tattoo 6 years ago..

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

HOLY SHIT! That's amazing! I want that on a shirt or something. Tell him the interwebs loves it.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

^^ Jeff, I know Instinct had some sort of Chicago chapter, I think they still might. Izu would come visit sometimes and do tattoos at this guy Haji's house, thats where I got it done.

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

I actually was drawing something similar for the mecha, I'll post later.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

I like the drawing a lot as well, but maybe no pupils (or both pupils) would be better?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into that!

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

Love this toy. It has so much character.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

A blue glitter missile matching with the waist belt. Congrats!

A photo of these new black Mecha Goju lined up would be a sight to behold with all those glittery goodness.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

So are all the missiles unpainted?

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

Wow, the glitter in your missile's vinyl is dramatically different from mine (size of flakes & density of flake distribution).

No. Mine is green painted gold on the tip. On the blog photos you can see a blue with silver tip, and a green with red tip.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

You know I'm not bitter about losing this one, I won the blue version back in Oct and I'm happy about it. This one looks great but I'll live not winning (that Mechagoji tribute grey is a different story though!) I think Hirota is being really fair and it doesn't seem like (at least in my eyes) the same people are winning over and over. That said though it's not this side of the pond that is causing the resale flipping problems. Hint hint...

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

Agreed. If I could get my hands on that one and the battle set, I would be able to call it a day. Haha.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

I've won 3. I know a few who've won multiple too. Secret blood sacrifices can take you a long way.

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

I've won once... but it was the first time and the most I wanted so I can't complain. It can't get more fair than that

 

Re: Hirota Saigansho: Gorilla-ju & Mecha Gorilla-ju

Very cool, I think I like them better unpainted, but cool score none the less.
