(assuming you did it) thanks for putting this guy up. still cant see it in their shop, so this helps out a lot.
i still sent them an email and am gonna pic him up. even though i gotta get rid of all my toys the formals are staying. he's too much of a gent to ship him off somewhere else! -

im assuming no one else has one of these guys? got mine in yesterday and hes got a defect on the hat =( i hope chima lets me exchange it..
also, MODS, anyway you can clear my whole collection of the toys i 'have'.. im in the process of selling my whole collection to get back into riding/racing and am only keeping my formals.. i figured it would be easier to mark the formals, than to mark a 100 other toys that i dont have anymore.. -

What type of defect?

kinda hard to see since i took it on my phone late last night:
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8137/8701674499_ab41a1b8d1_z.jpg
basically it looks like someone tired to grind something off and took too much off, its an actual flat spot.. stuff like this doesnt usually bother me, but these are the only toys im keeping out of my collection, so i pretty much want these guys defect free... -

Ahh I know exactly what that is - essentially that isn't a defect, that is how it is made; a result of the manufacturing technique.
It is a flow channel to assist in pouring the vinyl and to release air bubbles. It is cut off when the figure is put together.
You will find this on all sofubi, on smaller pieces it is harder to hide. Grab any sofubi and you will find this on the joints, mostly visible on the male joint.
My two Formals are the same - I didn't actually notice at all till you posted this. The reason why I didn’t notice is because the hat on both of my figures is positioned so the joint is around the back. Due to the angle, it hides the ‘defect' unless I hold the figure upside down.
If you twist the hat around so the channel is at the back, it will not be visible.
I twisted my hat around like yours, it isn't pleasant at all. The fact that the 'defects' get hidden completely when positioned correctly shows the intelligence in the design.
The only fault with your figure is the hat wasn't positioned correctly when shipped. So twist the hat around and problem solved.
Have you emailed them yet? It might be hard for them to explain back in English.
Note: I would recommend lightly softening the vinyl before twisting around the hat with a hair dryer - it will make it a bit easier as it is a tight joint fit. -

Hey,
Did any of you (except Auryn who speaks a bit Japanese and that doesn't count!) ever try to order from One Up?
They have a couple of cats I MUST have in my collection.
I have already written them an email through the contact link.
But do they understand English? Can I use PayPal?
Any advice would be appreciated :) -

All I could find is what you have done already.
It says on the shop site:
International customers are welcome anytime! For international orders, please email us directly. Our email address can be found through the "contact" link.
On Kaiju Korner blog it also said:
If you see something you like, you can send One Up an e-mail to order it. They take Paypal and will ship overseas. -
-
12 years ago
Yeah, no English. They will use translator software so keep the email very basic. If you can link to pictures, that would be best.
Hello,
May I order:

"Hi Jan
I am not good at English.
These sentences use the translation system.
I ship worldwide.
"Pay Pal" is the only method of payment.
1.Please transfer it in Japanese yen.
2.Please add 5% of total as a commission of PAYPAL.
3.You must pay the carriage. EMS
4.It is not possible to return goods"
Awesome! Thanks for your kind help, dear Roto friends :) -

I typically try to use a translator like google and write to shops in Japanese, but apologize for my linguistics. Not sure if they really care one way or the other :)

Agent, no wrong! I only use Google translator when I want to upload a Japanese toy to the library.
Instead keep it VERY simple, like CoMus said, it worked for me.
AND they are fucking cheap.
Buy their toys now! -

Nothing wrong with trying to translate (I have done it a few times) but write the same thing in simple English too.
Happy you got what you wanted! OneUp is a sweet store - so many cool things and one off special releases.

Sorry, shouldn't say he doesn't do work. Designing and marketing are work. He doesn't do the casting or manufacturing.

ah, makes sense now.. i remember reading on the KR boards a couple of months ago: 'kozik started resin casting not too long ago' (or something a long the lines of that).. i guess i took it too literal and thought he actually hand casted all these pieces.
thx shank! -

I apologize for the crappy photoshop to remove the background. I don't have a light box or anywhere to photograph on a solid background.
Anyway this is the pink chase.
Those with a special Arts Unknown membership get to buy the white members only colorway. -
-

Photograph looks good to me. Nice chase colour to. Where did you order from?
-
-
-
262 174 8

I preordered it straight from Arts Unknown. Expected the regular grey version so I was surprised at receiving the chase. Nice surprise though considering I waited two years for this to come out. Just got it a few days ago.
-
-
12 years ago
Were you a member? Or did you just order direct? Because I thought members got the white version.
-
-
-
262 174 8
12 years ago
Nope, they had no more memberships when I went to the site, so I just preordered the normal one direct from them. I actually only knew about the regular one and the members only white one when I ordered. I didn't know about the pink chase until Kozik posted a picture on his facebook. I only expected to receive the regular grey one.
I think members could order both the member's only white and the grey, but yeah only members could get the white. I haven't heard of anyone getting one of those just yet, but I'm sure one will pop up soon. -
-
12 years ago
Just checked my invoice definitely getting white, which is probably my favourite of the colour-ways. Weird as it would normally be the pink.
You were really lucky to get the chase though. Wonder what the ratio is? Probably 1/6 or something. -
-
-
262 174 8
12 years ago
Yeah the white version is definitely awesome, I was sad when I found out too late about the figure to get a membership.
Yeah, I don't even know how many pieces this set is supposed to have (of non member figures) let alone what the chase ratio is. -

Nice set!
Is the pink color the chase of member's colorway or the chase of OG?
What is the ratio of chase?
I bought both of variants, but didn't get pink :(((((( -
-

The pink is a 1/6 chase of the OG. :)

If I was ordering the grey one, I would be kinda upset if I got a "chase' - pink is cool and all but not too keen on the idea of a chase colour for a 8inch fig. Added little characters like another bird for a chase would be cool though.
