I've got one of those on the way as well, but I didn't feel like I should vote for it since I've never even seen one in person.
I would have guessed any of the 2-4 placers to finish first but wow the Ojo is in the lead that surprises me a little
I just can't give the love to the troopers. Oh, I like 'em, like I've said before, especially all the whistles and bells but the little buggers just don't wow me. And I like Mars Attacks and b\w sci-fis more than most. I don't even own a fucking bemon demon yet (and 1 is all I want, just like my lone hp bemon) but the thing looks rawkin' . And, I must admit, I'm talking the whole package - toy, header card, extra goodies, etc... Why does the high vote count on Martin's toy surprise you? It is gargamel. And the color schemes really help the figure stand apart from itself. Something I think is often severly lacking in colorways/platforms/versions. In the meantime, someone post a photo of the Shikaruna Doro. (but why is this figure the best they've released so far? just curious...)
There are a bunch in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=25514&start=25&st=0&sk=t&sd=a I just don't get the Shikaruna Doro or the two headed Bemon. Too Dungeons and Dragons monsterish for my tastes...
Shikaruna overall just doesn't appeal to me. Too...I dunno...well done? Too nice and literal. They're cool, just not my taste. I prefer rougher or simpler sculpts. They're just too nice for me. As far as the D&Dishness of it all, that actually is appealing to me. Takes me back to dirty basements and garages and Metal Church and....I'll shut up before I embarrass myself more.
Once again my crap taste in JPN toys is confirmed! Voted blind and both choices are at the arse end of proceedings!
For me the two-headed bemon is cool but the hands suck. The Doro is very clunky but cool looking...(i think this thing will get sold and resold quite a bit just do to the size though). But I don't think they are to d and d. I think the boogie with the capes and the bop dragons with capes are completely dungeons and Dragons etc. They are cool but scream nerd and are a total nerd fest in itself. (Although we are all toy nerds.)
ojo rules. wouldn't mind getting a two headed bemon guy... but it's the Shik Dororu I don't get. thing is too big to fit anywhere. not crazy about those HP's either.
Ojo Rojo wouldn't make my top 20. The Shikaruna Dororu is kinda neat, but isn't even close to as cool as Shikaruna's earlier figures. As for the 2-headed Bemon, well, I think you could stick it on a McFarlane Toys card and hang it on a peg at Toys-R-Us and it would look right at home. Mummy Boy is way underrated.
Whaaaat!? No way, it's too rough and choppy to be even CLOSE to a McFarlane toy. The Dorol guy is waaaayyy more McF. to me. The 2 header is so raw and bulky. If McFarlane did it it'd be a lot more smoothed out and probably be a lot more "professional" looking, maybe a big tongue hanging out of one, chains all over, a cape, the facial expression would be way more extreme. Sorry, I almost find that an insult to compare the 2HBemon to a McFarlane toy. Maybe the "spirit" or "feel" of its design, but not the end product.
