Only the coolest darn BeeGee we've ever seen. We could all learn a lot from this guy. He is a master of his own domain... a king of all he surveys. He is the most interesting Space Apeman in the universe.

Whoa, so sick!
Suddenly reminds me of a King Kong figure I had as a child. I can still remember the smell of it. -

Aggggh! Me too, TPJ! I think I know the exact one.... it was probably an Imperial Kong... those things were so cool and smelled like a toxic waste dump.
OK... now you got me hunting one on eBay... grrrrrr...

@PHIL: where have you been one month ago and last week, when i needed you the most??? ;) i was so crushed, that this beauty slipped through my fingers!
but last night, i was surfing all of my bookmarked online toy stores and found one, which had 2 left in stock. i bought them right away and then could fall asleep with a smile on my face.
anyways, i am pretty sure, that you make AMARETTO very happy, when he hears, that you sell one of yours!! ^_^ -

oh TOYYYYYYY, i really was about to burst out last night and comment on roto and say how happy i was, but then i just passed out full of joy.
i was surfing and surfing and somehow got back to viciousfun.com, looking if i can add more "where to buy links" for roto and then saw "RESTORE - DRY HEAD". it hit me and i was like: "no way, they are sold out and were only available at lullubell"... so i did not think twice and bought the last 2 remaining in stock.
i knew, this toy was meant for me and now i even will be able to smooch and lick both of them! :D -

Loren's online shop is a wonderful place if you need some sold out toys. I've bought a lot from her. Like the two clear red / purple Honesukes we don't even have in our library! :D
Adding WTB links is fun. Still, uploading new weird toys is what's giving me the thrill :) -

Toy, i love to upload new toys! most often i combine uploading with adding links. :D and i looked hard on google for your clear red and clear purple honesukes, i can't find them anywhere! so you need to take pics of each and add them to the library my dear <3

it seems, like you are always lurking in the background on here and that you like to click links, cause this is the second time this week, you correct me :-*
EDIT: i just typed in the "wrong" site's name from earlier...why does it not surprise me, that this led to a porn webpage???? >_< -

my both dry heads have a soft silver coat over their neon green hair, too! maybe to give it a more shiny effect?
and one of the heads has a stronger dark red rub in the face than the other.
none of them appear as glossy and "lickable" as in the picture, but i still think they are beautiful. i keep one dry head (it is beautifully displayed among my other green toys) and the other figure will be a present for a friend of mine :)
EDIT: yeah it looks a lot like in the flickr link you posted, J_Walrus -

the good thing about masturbating to this toy is, that you can just turn it upside down and shoot your load in the hollow head instead of wasting a perfectly fine tissue ;) -

masturbating is a scientifically correct term and i mean, you guys know, what shooting a load means, but that could be anything for kids ;)

i think Mr. Quiche is correct. Sofubi stands for soft vinyl.

Sofubi, soft vinyl, and Japanese vinyl are all the same thing. Kaiju is a subset of that. Kaiju can be sofubi, but it's specific characters. The newer stuff like RxH and Super7 and Greasebat isn't really Kaiju. Really, I'm not sure even Zagoran is Kaiju, strictly speaking.

The reason I'm asking is that Gatchabert uploaded a ton of RxHs years ago and put them as 'sofubi' :
http://rotocasted.com/toy/522... />I just had the feeling that sofubi was 'punk' toys that didn't really fit into the Kaiju ie Strange Beast niche, but still were more 'twisted' than your usual Touma or whatever Japanese toy. -

Technically RealxHead figures are not kaiju toys. Kaiju are usually monsters based on and inspired by the old tokusatsu (special effects) movies and shows like Ultraman, Godzilla, and Power Rangers, to name a few. RealXHead figures owe more to "fight figures" than they do to kaiju figures. Fight figures were first started by artist Takeshit with his Fink Shit fight figure.
http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/200901/13/94/e0143594_963043.jpg
Takeshit was a big fan of (and participated in) shoot fighting (kind of like the Japanese version of MMA mixed with pro wrestling) and created a stylized figure that brings to mind the look of Japanese boxers with his shorts and boxing gloves. Companies like Secret Base, Gargamel, and others started making figures that were similar to the Fink Shit figure, and there was a big boom in the fight figure style. Mori Katsura stepped into the ring with his own take on the fight figure and it has evolved past the fight figure realm. I think his characters have the most involved backstories of all the fight figure styled figures. I'd be hesitant to label all of the RealXHead figures as "fight figures"-- certainly some fit right in with their fighting trunks and fight figure stances, but they have really evolved into something that is all their own. They have a bit of the kaiju flair to them, but they aren't really kaiju in the true sense of the word. I believe the "sofubi" tag works best... it's general enough to encompass all that RealXHead stuff embodies and specific enough to not include kaiju and other types of figures. -

thanks monster, that was really eye opening! I had no idea there was this tradition in Japanese toys
-
-
12 years ago
It is a new Japanese word created from English words -
Soft Vinyl -> Sofoto Biniru -> Sofu Biniru -> Sofubi
Kaiju is just Japanese for strange/odd/not of this world beast. Yet in reference to toys Monsterforge is correct - They are old tokusatsu beasts.
The lines of what makes a Kaiju toy "kaiju" are blended, as people are creating monster toys inspired by Japanese toys inspired by old Kaiju toys.
If anything, Mutant Chaos is a Kaijin (humanoid monster) -

Kaijin is a pretty good term for them... it doesn't take away from the fact that they are like fight figures and doesn't quite put them in the same range as kaiju. (You start going into crazy territory when you start calling things "kaiju." People will cut you over that! Not really... or maybe really... I'm scared! Maybe not.)
I know a lot of collectors of Japanese soft vinyl call ALL of it "sofubi" because it is a generic term. I wanted to err on the side of safety. (No knife attacks from crazed kaiju purists for me, good sir!)
In my opinion, people can call 'em whatever they want... I prefer to call them "AWESOME!" :D -

is there anywhere I can read more about fighting figures?

I like knowing the proper terms, but I think it behooves one to not get all buttdestroyed over people who are new to things not getting it right. People learn a lot more by encouragement than they do by chastising. I agree though... sometimes hearing people call any comic book a "graphic novel" makes my spine rattle. But then I get all over it and stuff and keep on keepin' on! XD
I first found out about fight figures in an old issue of Super Seven magazine and started looking around online for more information. You can find out a LOT about Japanese toys by looking at sites like:
http://robotxmonster.blogspot.com/
http://www.collectiondx.com/
http://toyboxdx.com/
http://skullbrain.org/
Skullbrain is a forum, but you don't have to join to search for terms and read stuff there. Those guys are a big source for information about most Japanese vinyl.
Hope that helps! :D -

I think it's american times, Jan.
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/eastern-daylight-time/
unfortunately I'm going to miss out on this one, because I have no cash... 35$ is not a steep price but to Israel there is also a 25$ shipping charge so it comes up pretty expansive.
but I did get the last release which I'm very very happy with! -
