Did the sumo sell out or am I just missing it?

They're not up on the site yet. I ordered mine by email through the show preview. Check out the preview page (http://www.toyartgallery.com/shows/curr ... t-preview/) for instructions on ordering. Basically, you just email them with shipping info and they send you a paypal invoice.

I NEED to know about the banana-bunny resin!!!

Anyone have info?

Afraid to ask if my girl pulled the trigger on Sumo.

Was really hoping for a Bllk/Wht Set WITH ALL the bones included.

I'd make them do awful things to the Blk and White kaws bears. lol

On SpankyStokes it days that the banana figure is a prototype for his next toy. Don't quote me on this, but it sounds like it'll be coming to vinyl in the near future. I'm sure someone who was at the show can confirm that though.

Yuppers,

It's a prototype Mr. Arkiv has been working on

Was planning on attending the show but something came up. Glad to hear that the sumo still might be available.

Hi all,

I'm putting together Arkiv's show here in Singapore sometime towards end of the year. We're looking at having another colourway exclusive to Singapore and right now, we're kinda leaning towards a high gloss white version with accents of blood (subject to production constraints).

Would love to hear from fellow boardies if they've any other suggestions.

cheers,
Jeffrey

I'd pick one of these up also. Glossy white with blood splatter sounds pretty sweet.

a.tom · **Posted:** Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:32 am

Blood splatter is so overdone imo . . . how about just some paint splatter out of the typical Arkiv color palette?
Glossy white and vibrant light blue anyone?

I agree that blood splatter had been a but overdone, but he is a sumo wrestler so blood splatter makes sense. Although the light blue could look good as well. As long as there is some sort of color on there to add to the all white, I would gladly buy one.

I personally wants to see a matte finish Sumo with a splash of glossy blood splatter on it. I think the whole overall glossy finish might be overkill. All of Arkiv's previous figures are matte finish with a hint of vibrant color. I prefer it that way too.

Can I pre-order one now? I don't care what color or finish it is. I just love these Sumo.

See, I think if the whole thing is matte white with a bit of splatter, that it'll just look a DIY with some splatter on it. I think the gloss white would look a little more "finished". I could see a mix of matte and glossy though like the TAG version.

^I agree with gmiddleswarth,

And...I'd like to see a like a somewhat "realistic" colorway, with fleshtone skin, black hair, and white mawashi/rikishi (that wrapping that the sumo wrestlers wear).

And then I'd take any/all of these colorways below, with the exception of the bottom right one, I'd want a white face instead of a green one...

Pretty cool set of Sumo.

The black version is on sale now at TAG.

^Great suggestion,

gmiddleswarth, did TAG get back to you on when they'll start shipping these?

Not yet. They said they'd email me with shipping info and cost when they are ready. They didn't say how long that would be though.

Got the tracking # for my Sumo yesterday! Looks like it'll be here on Wednesday. Curious to see how these look in person.

Geoff,
Yea, me too. I got my tracking last night. It seems like you and I are the only person who bought the sumo here. I haven't heard anyone else.

Seems like it. I'm actually surprised that they didn't sell more of these. I thought the would at least sell out in a few days. I bet if they would have pushed this as an Arkiv x Huck Gee colab like they started doing when it was first announced way back they would have sold out instantly. It's cool though, if I like it I'll probably pick up an extra for a custom.

Philpenn · **Posted:** Fri Aug 26, 2011 11:22 am

Wonder if Arkiv found out what a jag Fail turned out to be. If he hasn't, I bet he'd get a kick out of it after all the crap Fail gave him.

G, I agreed. They should've pushed it as a collab with Huck. You read my mine too. I'm most likely going to pick up another one for custom.

Yea, Fail is no where to be found. Which is good for this forum. He just talked too much ish about everyone and anything. But I felt bad for the ppl that got scammed.

Wait, Fail scammed people? I don't look at the sales thread much anymore, so I must've missed that.
