I would also be very down for a prop thread.

I think I personally would probably start a modern Hasbro Star Wars thread and maybe a Kenner Star Wars thread if there was interest.

We used to have an original art collectables thread but it turned into me and like one or two other goons updating it so it ended up locked. Hopefully a collectables forum could make a thread like that more permanent.

I have watched several other videos of his now, and agree they are awesome. I like how he cracks jokes, laughs at his mistakes and does little visual gags with the editing; not only are his models amazing but his videos are really entertaining.

On that note, I would enjoy a thread that's all about sci-fi / fantasy models and miniatures; it's fun to drop an occasional post about that kind of thing here but it's admittedly off-topic. I used to love building models, sort of transitioned over time to mostly doing custom action figures because it was a nexus of my interests, but I've been taking a renewed interest in miniatures and dioramas... mostly as a spectator now.

I have an elaborate custom figure I've been working on for our own Xenomrph for like... three years, and I'm determined to actually get that poo poo done before I dive back into hands-on modelmaking, but I have a slew of other projects in progress and lined up.

I had, and still have, no plans to collect the Eternia Minis line, but I saw this guy at Target and couldn't resist the teeny Orko. He's barely bigger than a quarter!




EDIT: In other news, I actually ended up returning Skelegod to the store. Decided I'd rather have the $30. They had a bunch of that guy still on the pegs, and he's selling below retail price on eBay right now, so I don't picture him being a super valuable collectible... unless I sit on him for like 20 years. They had every Revelations figure except He-Man, which is the only one I'm considering buying.

No. The line has been entirely the main 10 Sailors, Sailor V, Crystal Sailor Moon, this Tuxedo Mask, Black Lady and Imposter Sailor Moon since they could reuse the tooling.

A joke but he's not super jacked and is a supporting character to Sailor Moon's story instead of being the center of it.

I know it's supposed to be a boob ship but when I saw it in the theater as a youngin' when it came out I thought it looked like a weird ballsack ship. :v:

Anyway since we don't have the Collector's forum around yet, here's my latest get- Kaiju WARSGON by Elegab! This military hardware kaiju is a wild one and has great details like the little tank driver. I was surprised when it was announced that this guy was going to be released because it's been quite a few years since the last colorway of him came out. I have a red one that I got around 5 years ago but I really like this colorway.











It's been announced that the next Elegab release is going to be a new colorway of DEVIL UFO! I'm not sure if I'm going enter for this lottery as I have a few colorways of him and this green is nice but not essential for me.



edit: oh hell yeah! Nari san made a new video about Devil UFO

It's a huge addiction. I discovered Elegab figures for myself around 7 years ago and went nuts. I'm still trying to get a few of the minis I don't have as well as some colorways from the past. I even was able to get his first toy release, a little resin cast alien, a few years back. There is only one standard size kaiju of his I'm missing and that was a new one he put out last year just after COVID shut everything down. He's stated that he's going to make a new release of it for international sale though sooner rather than later.

I'm going to be interviewing him for a friend's project soon. Nari is really a creative guy.

I'll very likely give some Texan about 230CAD for an 8" vinyl figure because his designs and colors are very cool, and then I'll say to myself "you bought an art toy and now you can put that collection to rest, because there are many other hemans, joes and bots out there."

I would love to follow a sofubi thread to vicariously live through what other posters may collect.

Boy will I post a lot in it. Especially once things open up and I can go back to Japan to participate in things like the Kaiju Paint Party with other artists and share photos of places like the DaiKaiju Salon.

Already done both of those! Heading down to spend time with my best friend who moved down about 5 years ago. I don't share it much in BSS but i've been having some brain struggles so I taking a mental health weekend with him. He's got a good plan to avoid really crowded and popular places to diminish my covid panic.

I'm so sorry, my friend. Things are so stressful and scary right now. I empathize completely, especially being back on a university campus at full capacity.

It's been rough, right now my sister and her fiance are in total hell, his brother died of a heroin OD last week. I've already been at my limits with my mother of later and this was the last straw so I decided not to speak to her for one whole week to give it time to blow over. Hopefully once i rest and recharge i can sort that out with her.

On the plus side I went to the doctor for the first time in 20 years on monday and got very good results from my physical and labs so the 4 years of giving a poo poo about my body have paid off.
