Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... my toy of the year though it didnt come out thise year would be my blobpus LKS WF GID since iv wanted this for so long plus any of those DX blobpus that came out any new appreciation for cronic
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... Some amazing releases this year! Gonna take some pics today- I wanna either include a 'Score of the year' in this thread or start a new thread also, I have been quite lucky this year, picked up a few personal grails!
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... Do that- Make a "Score of the Year" thread, I'd do it but I don't want to steal your thunder. =) As for toy of the year? I think some standouts are: SB DBM Brain- sdcc version specifically SK Garumega (did that come out this year?) Tim Biskup Rangeas The 0-1000 boogie man that just came out Lorbo The Kamen Rider 3 (think thats right) Mutant Evil- the one with the red head. Man, thats the first production RxH I saw and really wanted... too bad it was gone in an instant, and then super expensive in the aftermarket.
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... I've thought about this carefully and I'm not even giving into the hype of this new toy but I have to go with this as toy of the year: I've really thought about this. Shikaruna has done some amazing releases this year, but I still like this guy the most! Hopefully a release is in the near future
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... +1 on the above. though I can't in good conscience really give it my full vote without ever having had one in hand. we'll see if I get lucky one of these days. I still think the arm placement works great on this fig.
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... These two have made the year for me, these and the DX dokugan.
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... was thinking the same exact thing. really want one in hand to truely judge. if anyone wants to share theirs with me for a bit, send them over
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... I have to think about it more but I've been highly impressed by shikaruna toys in general and I don't collect them. The dororu was just to massive for my shelf but they are constantly putting out high quality paint jobs and creative toys.
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... 2008 was a massive release year. Stuff was churned out at an alarming rate --- it's hard to choose even just a few favorites. I'm just picking from new sculpts, not re-paints of toys released in previous years. Also, only toys I own, 'cause you just can't believe the hype (although if I had a Zollmen Saucer Kaiju or a Zudon, I'm pretty sure they'd be in the list...).
Re: Toy of the Year ( halfway check).... Its that time of the year again! I still need a bit of time to make my mind up, but do a have a short list. What are other people liking, has been an interesting year.
I can't get enough of these fuckers... the Neo Eyezon is hands down my favorite. Granted, I've only been collecting vinyl since May or June, but as soon as I saw these guys, I was hooked. The sculpt is just the perfect size to never go anywhere without one, and still manages to have an incredible level of detail AND be nice and posable compared to other figures his size (he's about Monster Family height, and has both arm and waist articulation). If I had to pick a second, it'd be something from the Elegab line... I don't know if I could possibly chose from between them though!
It's hard to pick just one from this guy over the last year but this one definitely deserves "Toy of the Year"in my book.
With this thread revived, it is interesting to see which previous 'toys of the year' are now sitting immovable in the sales thread. (I think it is more a reflection on the state of 'collectors' than of the toys.) And PH, that is an amazing Shuttlegon (and I will think that next year, too )
