I think they're sweet little old ladies who play bridge and enjoy a nice nightcap of warm milk at 8:30pm before settling into bed with Reader's Digest. THAT's who's hogging all the RxH! The sweet little old church ladies!
She yaps and she yaps about "SATAN?" then she hoards all the Mutant Evils. I am so over the hypocrisy! Church lady, I KNOW you have extra Chaos minis hiding in your closet. Break 'em out sister. Don't give me that "I'm busy knitting doilies" look. We are toy nerds, not altar boys.
agreed...i'm opting to not go after RxH figures that are being announced as coming soon. It's not a waste of time or anything...and I love the figures but I cannot keep up with the influx of figures coming out...and I don't have allot of money to spend. I have allot of luck going on the for sale section and getting RxH figures I really like at good deals. I don't have the time or patience to go after a figure where only 6 will be available and 100+ people want it. It's definitely nobodies fault and no one is to blame...I just wish that Mori would do more quantity of figures. It's his business so I am no one to say and,like always,it's just my opinion!
especially when you have a 45 an hours a week job,run a small DIY record label,constantly moving(i moved 6 times in the last 6 years)...this shit ain't easy!
lol I drive a truck for a living Poland Springs, it looks like a beer truck. I work about 55-60 hours a week. Between that, painting and trying to keep the misses happy I dont know how I do it either. Think you have no time ?? I pulled the truck over today to call in for the evil with no luck. When I looked in the rear view people where pissed when I suffer EVERYONE suffers !
I think sometimes we need to remember that there aren't big bucks in this for the neo kaiju makers. Allegedly even Gargamel just barely breaks even. Cronic man has a day job. RxH man has a family to support, and so on. How many active collectors of "neo kaiju" are there, internationally? Probably less than two hundred. A respected local collector recently told me "about 100." That seemed low to me at first, then I realized he's probably right. The connections to the movies and TV shows that inspired the lineage in the first place recedes into the past as the tastes of the masses have changed dramatically. The loss of Japanese-style soft vinyl as a mass production plastics commodity and process have rendered what was once a common and cheap material into a more expensive and rare niche material. What I'm getting at is that we're lucky that this re-invigorated craft and hobby continue to exist at all. Those of us who love it passionately wish that there were higher production runs so that we could have an easier time of landing what we want, but the fact that there aren't higher runs is partially due to exactly the personal stewardship that ensures high quality and originality, and partially due to the fact of a generally poor return on investment, and again, there aren't all *that* many of us.
hey lash...i never said that my situation is harder than anyone elses. you came back at me with a "lol" than a response that made it seam that you have it worse than I do as a RxH collector...when I responded at first i am just talking about me and that's it...i was just agreeing with you that yes,it is hard to be into RxH as a collector...hell lately I feel like giving it all up(toy collecting as a whole). sometimes life throws curveballs at you and decisions have to be made....
xoconostle...i agree with you...I guess i'm just not into getting over a toy...at times reminds me of the 80's when all these mom's were fighting over cabbage patch kids...
The orange-bubble, bubble-head and Bigaro all sold out just about as fast as this one, I wonder if the seemingly higher general frustration level on this piece is because it's not only an Evil, it's an homage Evil, and we all love the homages. No matter what, thanks 1M to S7 for allowing us even a shot at this without having to beg obnox favors of people in Tokyo or play YJA. If not for S7, pretty much every one of these would have been sold in Japan, and 2/3 would be on YJA. It's funny, the S7 arrangements are still fairly new, but already it's hard to even remember what it was like before.
Oh man, I feel so guilty now. Whoa, I remember that. Those dolls were kinda ugly, and not in a cute ugly way. You're so right about priorities though, if I read you right. If you love RxH, it's hard to be a collector, but try telling that to someone who could never afford multiple $60+ plus toys each month. It's all relative.
