    Haven't made up mind on this one yet. I like the face that is on the back plate peeking out and I like the matt and gloss black, but I'm not fully feeling the rest of it...yet. 

    Ok,I've made my mind up. I don't dig it.
    There are parts I like,the face on the back, the satin finish mixed with gloss and I quite like the main face.
    But I think the assymetrical nature of it is just TOO clunky for me,it's lacking a certain ....elegance.

    Hands up who likes it? :)

    I don't like it as in "I want it" or "I need to have it", but I appreciate it.
    to me, it is one of those (pretty rare) figures that fall into "art toy" category.

  • MaquetteCity angel

    Yes,it definitely falls into art.

    Of course,if someone were to give me one as a gift...... :)

    and exactly, because it is such an extraordinary "art toy", as you guys said, i am in love with it that much!!! especially the asymmetry makes it so wonderful in my opinion!
    hope, i can get my hands on one in a couple of months, if they will be still available by then!

    oh and M.CITY, i don't mind getting one as a gift as well ;) maybe we get lucky somehow....

    So I took the plunge and bought this! Since I first saw it I've gone back and forth as to wether or not I actually liked it,as you can see from my earlier posts.
    In the end, my curiosity got the better of me. I know, I'm an addict :)
    I'll add some decent pics if anyone's interested.
    I'm going to live it for a while before I post any further thoughts. :)

    Me too! Not my best photos,but it's a hard piece to capture.
    The photos don't give you a sense of scale either which is half of the work's appeal to me.
    It's a big chunk of vinyl! :)

    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?

    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.
