    blake & Vince: glad to help. please take good care of them. :)

    57 people
    Number of winnings

    I've always wondered what the odds were. I really need a GID shuttle to go with my GID puppet....fingers crossed

    Looks like I am now incomplete on Shuttlegons - guess it had to happen sooner or later.

    COngrats to those who scored! Anyone not feeling theirs - hit me up!

    I didn't even apply for this group of Shuttlegon's. Since I already have 2 GID's thought I would give someone who hasn't scored one yet a chance.
    I will be back in the running for the next release this month. So watch out! :)

    Didn't win a Shuttle. :cry:

    But I did receive my blue GID Puppet Seijin today! Man, that is some SERIOUS glow! I have a few other glow pieces, but none of 'em shine like this sucker. The Puppet is big, hard, and HEAVY! So glad there are Vombies in this world...

    Elegab's top the heap!

    3 color versions and he's only doing 25 pieces total? :shock:

    Sigh. I hope losing out this time stacks some karma in my corner for when the Tonneran comes up. I'ma have to kill someone if I miss out on that one.

    The orange GID arrived today. I like the lighter, brighter colors.

    Yes. That's the RM version of Dokuro Taro.

    I think its Dokuro Taro in "Wrath Mode".

    I've read everything I could find on the Elegab website about the backstory behind his characters, but I wish there was a story book available describing the Dokuro Taro universe.

    I think it's awesome that he has all this backstory up on his site.

    Oh don't get me wrong! I think Nari-san is a genius for coming up with a fictional TV show to set all his characters in. Good characters always have some sort of story, or they get no life. (and the machine translation is often really funny.)

    From Nari of Elegab (translated by machine):
    In a word, . . . and "[Tonneran]. " The day of sales of or "[Gomioyabun]" was postponed. ....It is note. [Sumimasen]. It is the first ten days of March.

    If I remember correctly, the skeleton form done by RM is Dokuro-Tarou's transformation after he removes the blade from his helmet. That is why the RM toy is holding a small weapon in one hand.

    "Tonneran" Vs "Gomioyabun". I wonder how Nari will handle the match. There seems to be an overall preference for Tonneran around here, but do you think our opinion reaches him (there's nothing better than a mail to let him know anyway) ?

    Nari's posted today a statement on his blog about small run productions induced by individually run companies and the shit-heads reselling the items on auctions...
    Nothing new about this, but I feel sorry for the artist that has to apologize because his creations are not available to his true fans but to motherfuckers.

    "Please do not buy from me to re-sale". :cry:

    Of course this statement will prove to be completely futile, it just tells you again they are a lot of nasty, honour-less people in the world.
