I've been won over by Rose Vampire. My favorite tough is still the original.
My taste in toys has really changed since I started collecting toys! I've been won over by a lot of Japanese stuff, a simpler designs, like Devilrobots. -

@SillyK Thanks!!! D-LuX killed this piece...it really stands out in my collection that's for sure. He's done a few different rainbow styles but I think this is one of the few with 6 colors instead of 5.
@lordsketch It's amazing how much my taste in toys has evolved these past few years. I like figures now I never thought I would have just a short time ago. But that's what makes this hobby so fun. -

@TheBlotSays-I agree,I think that's one of the things that makes this hobby (addiction?) so interesting.I'm gradually starting to appreciate this sort of figure :)

Kent Melton is one of my heroes... I have a slight obsession with animation maquettes and the man is just super-human with the awesomeness of his sculpts

There are almost 50000 toys on this site and there are a lot more out there who are not yet on this site, but this is by far my favourite.
My holy grail ! So if there is someone who is willing to part from it let me know !

reminds me of carrot cake (minus the blue flakes, of course). all of the cupcake buddhas have that "dessert-y" feel... or at least they do to me. =p

I'm still bummed that the handle of the blue umbrella broke when I was moving. Still need to fix it somehow, need some type of super crazy glue as the umbrella is quite heavy.
Hm, I did not notice any rules regarding what should be posted, but could someone explain what type of toys/figures are allowable on this site? -

It's "for the love of toys"...so post whatever you like...

Hey Leshita,
it's not about rules :) right now Rotocasted take most anything people upload.
But we've been having a lot of discussions on what should be on here - basically, it was set up to be a website for designer toys and not commercial toys.
for the time being it was decided to tag toys there are based on existing characters as "Character Toy". we have a bunch of moderators so I'll change it :)
At some point the database might be split into designer toys and a separate one for all the other toys.
But the website is basically a labor of love for Sergey who set it up and it actually costs him money to keep it up, while he makes his own art and toy, so it may be a while, or the idea might be dropped.
you can keep submitting any toy you want, I was just expressing my opinion! :) it's a great statue -

-

I actually have not seen it go on sale on the aftermarket (though I have not been searching on eBay on a regular basis). Originally I purchased this for around $100 or $120 I think from 1999.co.jp, but it has long since sold out.

Gonna be tough getting one of these. They were produced in really limited numbers (20-50 I think) and only available at Design Fest 2008 in Tokyo. The paint is done by Itokin Park's friend Shef who does the most amazing job. They are painted on the interior of the toy rather than the exterior.

There have been a couple of other rainbow colour Luchas but they were done by kaiju artist Cronic and frankly I think they were an even smaller number and the colours weren't as well blended. Shef's rainbow graduation is something to behold!
Here's an example of the Cronic rainbow...

No, Sil, don't give up! I'm sure he's mented for you. BUT, I have to quote Yardarm; "Gonna be tough getting one of these."

oh toy, you are the sweetest!!!
i just tried the check out again with the help of my online translator, but they don't let me through the system, because my zip code is not in japan, they don't recognize it and my us phone number not either...i am f***ed with ordering online.
now i have a little hope, that the workers of the online store answer my mail soon and help me out.
Toy, it late over there, where you are. get some sleep!!!!! :-* -
13 years ago
so, i talked to my brother. he could not help me much either and translated me the things, i already figured out on my own.
1 is in stock, there is no sign of shipping to the usa and the check out is only for people located in japan.
YARNDARM , if you read this, could you help me with finding the english version of that webpage, so i can check, if that one ships international? -
