Finally managed to upload this. I'm not sure about the quantity, do all 5 "Nothing to be done" Godots have black feet?
Also: his hat fell on the ground and broke. I need to get rid of my clumsy self :< -

There are only 3 of these, apparently. I wonder who has the 3rd one?

I believe it's SirNarwhal from what I read on SB. I guess the run of 3 is accurate, I've heard it from two people now and no one has said otherwise.

SirNarwhal and I actually share our collection, so that's still only 2 accounted for!

I called the owner of Toykyo today. They recently told me that they have collectors who purchase every sculpture they make. So i guess they get contacted first. The previous birds were for sale at Toykyo for +-$500 each, Colette sold them for +-$1080 :-s and they were gone in no time. The new birds are $400 each + shipping.
Let me know if you want to buy one, i can call right away. -

Vera, listen, please...I don't have an issue about other people's semi-personal comments. I love them! Sil and I did that, but some people were annoyed. As far as I see it, it makes Roto alive. It's not like the clever comments are standing in queue!!!! Mostly it's just ; "I love this..blah blah".... But the moment people are getting personal, it's all : GET A ROOM! . Roto was meant to connect people, right?
Maybe in the near future Sergey will add a chat room????????? -

that pic made me smile up to both ears!! smart idea and i gotta say, i love your taste in shoes! i would wear that kind and color of shoe, too...but it seems, like you got tiny feet! lucky girl! -
13 years ago
actually, I am terribly unlucky with shoes :-( I have tiny feet indeed, but not enough tiny for those beautiful red shoes... I just bought them online and unfortunately they are too small. I love them a lot, so they might end up as... display shoes, haha. lesson learnt: never buy shoes online, buy only toys :-)
-

@ penguin: i gotta agree, it looks bigger than i expected as well, but as vera said, she has tiny feet, hence the shoes are tiny, too ;)
@vera: may i ask for your shoe size? your feet might look like baby ones next to a 10 1/5 - 11
and can't you exchange those ones for a size bigger or was that an ebay auction and not an online store??? -
13 years ago
I wear size 36 (european) and yes, it was an eBay auction, no bigger sizes available.
the bird is a bit bigger than I expected too, but well, shoes are small :-D

Thanks for all the sympathetic responses. It was incredibly disappointing to keep pulling dupes. But since had a message from Kidrobot on Twitter seems like they're gonna try to help me out.

I got a case at Newbury comics .. straight forward layout & ratios. Just got my case from KR (for huck variant) but it was an unsealed case and all my numbers were off. Got 4 zombies, two mishka eyeballs, 4 kronks ... was missing a lot of 1/20's.

For those who asked, KR allowed me to select 12 new blind boxes from a sealed case. (They took back 9 of this design, plus because in that same case there were so many other dupes they allowed me to return 3 of those too, = the 12 replacements)
If anyone's interested from that 12 I got 8 of the missing designs, plus some extra dupes of Squink, Dirty Donny, & the Zombie.
Pretty pleased with the way KR responded to this, not sure others have been so lucky in the past, but they did seem to think this was an exceptionally bad case, so I was fortunate in the end. -

I think the differentiation between vinyl and Japanese vinyl is just fine. It's easier for people who want to search for a specific type of figure and in my opinion it can be considered a different material: it's not just usually lighter, glossier and has more details, but the manufacturing process and even the ingredients vary slightly (Jap vinyl is unhealthier, yay).
The only thing one could merge would be Japanese vinyl, soft vinyl and sofubi, which is basically the same (but would be kind of a lot of work and I don't know if it would make sense to do so). -
-

I'm happy with the above classification if everyone agrees. Could take a lot of tag updating though :)

1881 1896 2109

Yes, I agree with LB. There certainly is a difference. Take one of your Dunnys in one hand and one of your Pocket Mummy Boys in the other. No comparison. Japan stuff has the feeling. Dunnys seem "dead".
Why else would an esteemed company like S7 choose to have their toys entirely produced in Japan?
Obviously there is a difference. But LB is right, Japanese vinyl, soft vinyl and sofubi is more or less the same.
Actually you'll find Japanese and Sofubi under "Type" tag as well.
I suggest we keep one entry for Type: Sofubi.
And one entry for material: Soft Vinyl.
That way we have both
Just one thing; we mods have to keep our eyes peeled when new uploads are coming in. But it isn't that a big thing.
(OK, I see Dan was faster, than I was :) ) -
-
-
angel
-
432 4 822

I don't think sofubi is a type. Sofubi just means "soft vinyl." I think a Mummy Boy is just a designer toy. I think the material should be sofubi and the type should be whatever is appropriate, usually designer toy or kaiju.

I think Shank actually nailed it pretty precise here...
Certainly there's a difference between designer toys and kaijus.
Everybody happy? -

If you google the name of the toy and a bunch of stills from old Japanese movies show up, it's a kaiju.

1881 1896 2109

Err.. but aren't they called "sofvi" now...? Maybe we should reconsider the whole thing?? ;O/
-
-
11 years ago
I think the type should be removed all together or just a ‘family’ term: vinyl/plush/resin/3D printed
As so many designers/stores/collectors are referring to Japanese made vinyl as Sofubi now, I think the material for all should be changed to sofubi.... then again, it might all be called 'Super Flexible Magical Plastic' next year so you'll have to change it all over again.
Sofvi/sofubi/japanese vinyl = all the same thing. You can get soft vinyl out of China though.
