Ok. I finally pulled the tigger and joined this year. Now how do I buy those made to order black figures?? :)

I'm almost certain that the black ones were last years exclusives and aren't 'made to order'

If they release any black SSSS figures this year, it will only be for newer sculpts. They usually annouce what those are in the winter some time.

How long does it usually take to get the welcome kits?

Apologies - I posted bad info above.
The black ones are made to order once you are an SSSS member.
I think they offer up a figure and then you order it.
Not sure if they are back datable though?

Huh? Odd...
Maybe they just evaporated somehow? Probably should add them again. -

Looper wins sofubi of the year at Designer Toy Awards? Way to maintain your street cred, DTAs. I'm sure Deadbeet was second.

In the category all about Japanese vinyl, only one of the nine finalists was Japanese. This is like when Jethro Tull won the Grammy for best heavy metal band.

Sofubi seems to be getting more and more trendy these days. Maybe collectors are getting tired of Kidrobot.
Still, REAL sofubi is Japanese. -

This was made in Japan by Japanese sofubi makers...

Yes, you're right. I keep forgetting that sofubi is a method and not a style, sorry.

Sketch I'm sure they were all made in Japan, because that's basically what sofubi means. But only one of the artists was Japanese, Restore who designed Debris Japan. Did Gargamel, Elegab, Cure, M1GO, Blobpus, Secret Base, et cetera get a look?
Looper might be sofubi but it's not Sofubi. -

Actually, sofubi means 'soft vinyl' not 'made in japan' anyone can make a sofubi. Thus, they don't necessarily need to be japanese.

Ya. Sofubi is a type of material. For example, deal maker is by Andrew bell and my plastic heart, both in New York, however it is still a sofubi figure because it is cast in soft vinyl.

I know what sofubi is! Missing my point! But we're on the internet so that's bound to happen!

I hear you Shank.
I know they don't need to be Japanese...but so many amazing original Japanese sofubi artists/pieces were terribly overlooked for the awards. Other categories were like that as well...the nature of the beast I suppose.
Not saying the Looper isn't amazing...just, spread the love XD -

Isn't Designer Toy Awards basically the Western part of the toy world celebrating itself? Maybe it's not that big a surprise after all that only one real Japanese toy was nominated?
Personally I don't give a shit about DTA. When I heard you were suppossed to vote every fucking day I lost interest. Also, my favourite blog is Lowbrownie, which was actually nominated, I think, but it has no chance in winning ever, since the blog isn't plastered with ads and gets way lesser hits each day than
for example Vinylpulse.
Awards are for losers! (Get it?) -

I can understand where you're coming from, Shank. I love Japanese toys.
Yeah, I guess like Jan I approach the DTAs kind of like the Oscars in that they're basically western.
I collect Japanese toys and despite the internets parts of the toy world there is very hard to approach from out of Japan - both in terms of info and certainly in terms of getting the toys. -

The fact that the DTAs lacked Japanese creators in a category about Japanese vinyl is the issue. A big issue in my opinion.
I wanted to add Japanese artists in the first round but gave up after I uploaded a batch and only to see one added: Chima Group
I also lost interest after having to vote every single day. How can anyone compete against someone like Jason Freeny with 42k facebook fans?
