The story with these is that when they dropped about 6 years ago they weren't for sale. You could e-mail Uncle York with an explanation of why you wanted one and if your explanation was deemed worthy a box from Italy showed up ominously several weeks later. This one sadly was not obtained in that manner. I'm starting to trim down my resin collection and the figure doesn't really fit with my Bootleg pieces. I don't even know what to price it at. Uncle York is a fairly big company especially overseas and it is a very interesting piece. I'm going to put $350 or OBO with a strong emphasis on OBO.
^ i was confused by that at first, too. then i went back and read it again... it's clear that's what's happening.
Edited to reflect that. I included that story because I think the story of the original release is what gives it part of it's character. It's such an oddball piece.
Maybe I should just take Uncle York's sweatshirt advice, but I always cringe when I see 'pieces' like this 'drop' around here.
I totally agree, everyone should like and collect the exact same things. Anyone who deviates from the skullbrain approved master collector's list is subject to -1 forum rep and -10 hype points. this is serious.
Oh, yup. That cast is sick, dawg. Dude shits all over my casting skillz. I'm not mad, but it's pretty lame that some urban designer toy (even though he states it's not a toy, it's an art production, but still calls it an action figure?) gorilla wearing saggy hipster rap gear is trying to get sold for $350. Take the advice of another board member that PMed me and 'drop' that thing on the floor.
I think we have to start drop quizing new board members as to why they're here, till they fucking get it that this is a JAPANESE TOY BOARD, not a "I could not sell this on KR board so I'll sign up here and try and drop some knowledge on these fools" board. We won't bite or budge on your shit toy, and we'll herd you off quicker than a hipster moves on to the next trend. Take that shit out of here.... Why are these n00bs allowed to even post a sale within the first 75 posts?
If it's a monkey and it's wearing clothes then it's in the wrong place unless it's made in Japan, is sofubi or is fighting Godzilla.
Don't know what to say. This never would have happened or been allowed in 2006. Then again S7 how sells this sort of stuff. I think they have some sort of Gorilla rock band fig.
