Anubis Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 (edited) Fresh from Hobby Search's update today is a new Noriko Takaya of Gunbuster fame 1/6 PVC statue from Kotobukiya (these guys are on a roll lately). 6800 yen, comes out in June. I shall let the picture speak for itself. Don't know if I can budget it in though, unfortunately. Edited May 14, 2004 by Anubis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Actually, this statue's been around for years. In completed PVC form like this, or just resin statue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beware of Blast Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 If I'm not wrong, resin statues are first made in very small numbers as garage kits, and they sell for some astronomical price. Then, on some occasion when that particular garage kit becomes too popular, the mold is then bought by a toy company. Once they acquire the licensing rights for it, they make the PVC form of the model, and the price more affordable to the regular collectors.

Take a sweet resin kit and make it into an much more affordable PVC for us common folk. Kotobukiya does a very good job with their PVC figures as well. The Asuka Summer Casual PVC I have is very well done. The Comic Party ones are quite good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californium Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Meh. I just want the Exelion. Or better yet, an SOC Sizzler Silver with optional battle damaged and dented parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 (edited) Ooh ooh ooh!!! I gotta get one of these painted up. I already have the resin kit which Kotobukiya released in April of 2003, and became rather scarce afterwards. They were going for about $120 when they were first released, but bootlegs of it began appearing for about $40. The resin kit is excellently molded, and from the looks of it extremely easy to put together. Since I suck at painting figure kits and do not quite trust sending my collectors' items off to be worked on by complete strangers, I may have to pick this one up for my entertainment stand. And speaking of Gunbuster, look here at the Holy Grail of all Gunbuster cels. I am currently bidding on this one: Awesome Gunbuster Cel!! Thanks to fellow MW'er Valkyrie for finding it for me!

I thought the holy grail would be the ones in the bath scene, which was edited out badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 (edited) I thought the holy grail would be the ones in the bath scene, which was edited out badly. I'd love to have a nude cel of Jung, Kazumi, and Noriko from that episode. Especially Jung. Full frontal... *drooling over animated softcore porn* Anyone stupid enough to sell those off would have to have their heads examined. I've never been able to find any of the cels from the bathing room scene from episode 2. I think Anno Hideaki has them in a vault in his home, or Gainax has them stashed. As for the editing, Kiseki Films did that to their DVD version in the UK to appeal to a younger audience. Basically, it was a stupid marketing blunder which pissed off a lot of fans. By the way, I just reserved 2 of these things. One for display, and one for my collectibles box. Another $100 bucks or so down the drain to feed my Gunbuster habit... And did anyone see that Asuka statue done up in the Gothic Lolita get-up? Hell yeah! Asuka Edited May 15, 2004 by Noriko Takaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
