red vinyl for these. again, I like the blue one best, but I would be happy with any of these. it looks like he painted the claw-hand with some subtle metallic sprays. nice. I'm regrettfully going to have to pass this time.
While I personally wont be buying anything that's been put out (yet), I really admire the creativity and effort that's gone into all these elegab sculpts. They're something else, really inspirational! And I love the great reception these guys are having. I hate seeing someone go against the flow, do something brand new, but afterward not taken seriously for their efforts, then watch as people spend hundreds on something totally uninspired... The Kaiju scene is really refreshing compared to most 'designer vinyl'...
I shall elaborate. I am of the opinion that the similarities between the first version and the second version are, perhaps, excessive. This kind of commenting is the consequence of going out drinking early and coming home early having consumed several drinks on a Saturday
I find the yellow version much more contrasting on this new version. The original flesh vinyl made the yellow a bit flat. I would go for the yellow version this time. I can't explain why, but the green spray on red at the back gives him a vintage feel. Funny he kept the most favored color of the 1st run for this one too. I would have loved a pink or white base spray. Hopefully, with this second run, everyone will be satisfied getting one
From Nari-san's blog, I'm pretty sure that's why this release looks so similar to the first one, so everyone who wanted one could get one.
The lighter spray of green on the back does look cool, but I'm not keen on the heavier red applications on the arms and legs. I'm glad I managed to score my first choice Red Spray from the first batch, as I like it better, but it's fantastic to see Nari pump out a whole'nother round of these for people.
Ohhhhhhhh.... well, in that case, it's a lovely color of vinyl but I still prefer the more yellow/flesh ones better. Thanks for the clarification.
Not red. Orange. I wish it was red. As far as I know the only vinyl colors Nari has used on the standard releases so far are flesh, blue, orange, pink, GID, clear, and clear yellow. He has used red on some of the smaller pieces. Tonneran Version 2 "About 22cm in size Size/ about 22cm Six parts ([toudou] right hand left hand right leg left leg) Parts 6 (Head Trunk right hand left hand right leg left leg) Molding color orange Basis color / Orange"
Funny how the front really looks red and the back orange. In any case this is not the orange we are used too. Definitively more reddish.
Ok, so can I get a list of all the Elegab releases so far? Just sculpts, let's not go crazy with colors and whatnot. Shuttlegon Monster Patrol car & minis Puppet Seijin Tunneron ... and I don't know the names of the guys at the beginning of this thread. Help a brother out!
Am I the only one interested in this any more? Oh well... Just got my Tunneron and KPC, and wow. Both are perfect in all respects. The design and sculpt manage to capture all the charm of the vintage stuff and compare very well with the quality of the best new stuff. The paint jobs are just beautiful. The detail work on the dashboard of the patrol car is nuts. Best of all, I chuckle every time I look at the goofy bastards. They warm the cockles of my withered black heart.
just got my 1st piece too... so stoked... seems like a few of us got our first taste in the recent lottery, or the BST... so the laughs are spreading... there hasn't been a bad vibe tonneran hasn't been able to defeat since he showed up over the weekend. here he is inspecting the local infrastructure yesterday....
Really love both the Tonneran and Patrol Car (not fond of the other sculpts though). If the Tonneran Stone had just sold wasn't the "black" version I probably would have been bad and bought it. So, if anybody doesn't like their red (#1!), blue, or yellow Tonneran let me know! And if someone could tell me how to buy from Elegab that'd be great too...
Not really ! Tonneran was one of the release I have anticipated the most for months and am completely satisfied with my black version. I did not have time to release him from his bag and take pics but I think I'll dedicate a whole photo session to him. I want to pair him with Kurumanikurasu for some headlight fun.
