    Yes I listen to a lot of Spacemen 3, so that's the veiled 'Repeater' reference...

    I like the red one's paint job on his chest, how it incorporates the belly protrusion into one feature.

    Although the purple guy with the lipstick freaks me out a bit.. :lol:

    This was the track I was thinking of...sometimes referred to as Repeater. Sonic Boom collects toys, at least he use to.

    Re: Khappa, Khappa, Khappa or repeater......

    Thanks to DOnnie Robot I got to hang with a cadaverous Jason Pierce last year at Rough Trade London...the got to se a rather jolly Spiritualized in-store. I remember seeing Spacemen 3 a couple of times back in the 80's. I recall them sitting down and playing with their backs to the audience at the Clarendon in Hammersmith.

    PS. Kappa's are RAD!

    Wow Carl you got to see Spacemen 3? Very envious indeed! I've seen Spiritualized when they first formed in 90-91 (and every few years I pop in because they are quite good live), and Sonic Boom with Spectrum (actually at CBGB's in 91 or 92?) but never the first incarnation. That's quite an accomplishment!

    +1, I love the pose of this figure so much. It really adds to it for me, plus the detail and paint are killer on all of them.

    This is a very cool sculpt, and the paint is top notch on each of them! Although I must admit, I think the red one would give me nightmares after a while

    Lixx, I hope you dont mind, but when you flip 'em khappas, they look positively orgasmic:

    Probably all that vinyl rushing to their head..

    Re: Khappa, Khappa, Khappa or repeater......

    I'm resurrecting my own thread two years later. No one has ever posted pics of the Hobikon 07 Secret version Khappa (from a few years ago), till now:

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    The vinyl is a orange red marbled color (with black mixed in). It may not be popular here but I still think early Shikaruna was top notch. I'd never sell mine off...

    Damn, why don't I have 1 of these in my collection still. Same thoughts as before, awesome pose, and amazing paint apps by Shikaruna.

    I know a lot of people really dig the 2nd Khappa version that they did but this 1st version was the one that really drew me in. If you see one (especially an older version) buy on sight! You won't regret it. Older SK was just the right amount of metallic paint. Some of the newer paint jobs are too over the top for me.

    I think me, you, Jared (six7777) & Daniel are the only hardcore Shikaruna collectors here anymore. Well it feels that way at least. Probably wrong about that. Does feel like there is less competition than say 2009 right?

    The old SK was definitely the best. I sometimes miss my collection. All I have left are pictures and one Dorol.

    Anthony I so miss your SK collection! That one off Zag with the purple spotted chest was one of my faves, where did that end up?

    I thought years ago this Khappa might have been a one off, but maybe not. Gorgeous piece of vinyl there jcat.
