I've got word from the factory that this is indeed fact not fiction. Flippers beware, this is sofubi 2000

^^ Are You Serious?! It's really hard to believe, but if so, Wowzers! This is exciting

12 year old's flip too.

Wait... are you being serious?

Thanks! Everyone missed this hint when it went up on my flickr well before the event...
Details matter

Currently the chips are too expensive to put in every single figure, but hopefully like with all new tech the price will start coming down.
For now its "Caveat Flippator" (Sorry my Latin is Rusty) using random insertion.

THATS a great colab !

Hahaha! Fantastic! She did a great job

THAT
and the fact that Ayako is using Goto-san, the kaiju-painting master been doing this over 60 years.

OH! My bad, I assumed she painted it

That's really, really cool...

I'm guessing from Ayako's photos that she probably did the appliqué herself and master Goto did the spray.

only 2 :/

were you expecting a release?

no.. but they are nice... the sprays are nice and given they will release over there... they wont make it in my shelf lol

You're telling me!

Nice to admire though. I'm just appreciative to see pictures. I'm sure one will go to PK and one she will keep.

Those colors look great! Love the spots plus the embellishment

Thanks for posting the PK Uamie they look great!

UAMITE!!

This is really quite amazing! Whoever lands either of this beauties is quite fortunate to say the least. This is, in my eyes, one of the sickest BC's I have ever seen, let alone one of the sickest pieces of Kaiju I have seen in some time! WOW

I hate to be "That guy" but if I'm being honest, I don't really love them. I like the colors used, and the spray job is good, but I don't like the bedazzled head. That said I'm sure Paul (as well as a lot of other people) thinks they're great. It just falls into the same category as the HVM Zagoran, or the Popsoda figs, I just don't like words and labels on toys.

I really love do normally love Ayako's work, it's just my hangup.

Unfortunately I won't be in Tokyo for Paul's show, but this Fiday Ayako is giving me a sneak peek at the pieces for the show. I'll try and snap a couple better pics of the Boss customs if I can . I'm not sure if she will paint the eyes - don't think she's decided yet.

I'm with ya, bud. Not a winning design for me either. Maybe if it was pinstriped & better placed, but nah, I think it's just a little too much. It's a - "that was a good shirt even before you wrote your name across it" kinda deal. You're gonna have lovers & haters for everything, of course, but I can totally see a design school professor saying, "Just pull it back a bit". ALTHOUGH, I understand what she was trying to do, cause the character stippling is her mark of collaboration. Although in truth, designing the paint job should've been enough. It was for Paul. Thank godzilla there aren't any little biterman press-on jobs (ha, although I'm sure some would like it).

But If she wanted to include that logo, i think it would've been incorporated better as a repetitive motif within the rest of the paint job, especially considering they're all dots already. Visually it would look of little difference as long as they were still soft & subtle (like dots are now), you would know who collaborated with PK (which she obviously wants known), & the unsightly ear infection (oh no you didnt) would be gone. I'd be a fan of that.

I'm JUST seeing this photo now... whoof, sends shivers down my spine.

BUT on a more current note...
