I've never been much of a comic toy collector, but should these sculpts ever be used for figures, you can bet I'd snatch 'em all up. Wow.

OK, that does it!

I'm really not into those figures of comic characters, especially if they look almost but not quite like the characters shown in the comics; that being said,
I can't wait to order a complete set of every UY character that you care to sculpt and produce!

Your work is the best I've ever seen, your detailing shows your love of our ronin bunny and his cast; and now that my daughter has had a glimpse on Jotaro, I'm sure she'll nag me constantly about when and where they are available.... :wink:

We'll have some shelf space reserved for your work, roel! :D

Masterful! It's as if Mr. Sakai learned to sculpt! Every piece you show is truly accurate to the feeling of Usagi! Hopefully the "next chapter" is the release of these figures to the fans and supported by Dark Horse!

Great work!

Jotaro looks especially good. I love his stance and the little turn of his left ear. Terrific expression as well.

Here's a quick color comp. Colors may be off since I'm experimenting with it still.

Unbelievable stuff! I'd like to add my name to the list of uninterested folks who would glady pre-order the whole line-up. Everyone's said it already...these are almost too cool to be true.

I'd be failing my daughter if I didn't throw Shingen and Chizu into the pool of possibilities...
