Newest additions. It's funny how this hobby works sometimes. Needed a Nextman for my "OG" rxh sculpt collection... didn't think I'd see one come up for a good while...needed a blue gachigon*--thought it'd be a very easy one to track down. No gachigon yet, but a freakin' OG Nextman gets a new release. Ha! Can't complain. *I've been pointed in the right direction. Thanks
Finally arranged everything in a way that speaks to me. Color!!! The only way I can roll when it comes to RxH.
I totally missed the boat on the ryusei with the ninja sword, love that one, it's my favourite of the old sculpts.
Lovely stuff, and with RxH there are so many mad colorways to choose from . . . Also, the little Bero Bero. Always makes me smile when I see either of them on someone else's shelf. Classic.
This thread needs more action. I give you the mythical white Organ Bat and the lottery prize 'Hiro Bat' (on a side note, I wonder who this one belonged to).
Was there a white Bigaro? I still have a white Mutant Head, Mutant Evil, and Mutant Chaos from Kaiju Taro. So nice.
Not from the SOLID line... I think all 4 were released in unpainted white in 2006. EDIT: Yes, the white Bigaro was a lucky bag release at Super Festival in January 2006. The Head and Evil were normal releases; the Bigaro and Chaos were chase figures.
The first release of Organ Bat was one of the toys that got me interested in Sofubi. I still have it and love it just as much nowadays. It blew my mind that something so weird looking could be a proper toy. The 'face' still reminds me of burnt bubbles on a pizza. I have the unpainted white Mutant Head, i wish I'd grabbed a few more of those solids. Pure white shows off sculpts to maximum effect. Either that, or unpainted GID, but the shadows you get on pure white are sharper.
I wish I had picked up more of the SOLIDs simply because they are nearly impossible to find in unmolested form these days.
Got this guy from Mori-san himself while I was in Japan, love the simple skull. Pick up from Mandarake Shibuya, love the marble on its face.
The Dokuro-magnon really has that simple magic of the old RxH figures. Anything interesting seen/heard while visiting the shop?
Just that he would be at dcon, I was bummed since I came all the way to Japan and then they were in the US! There is that figure from Kaijublue, I believe, that he designed for them. He had a blank glow one just sitting there so I had to ask about it since I had never seen it. The Punkdrunkers owner, Oyakata?, mentioned they are trying to bring the licensed Mazinger Z piece to dcon. Doubt that will ever happen. Had me hoping for it after seeing them for $700 at Mandarake.
MH-L0 something something. This one has been on my list ever since seeing it in the Mook years ago. I think it has one of the most eye-catching color schemes of the old Mutant Heads.
