Sakai Variant Usagi Figure
I don't frequent the toy section on here too often so please delete if this has already been posted elsewhere, but I just noticed Stan had been selling a new variant of the Playmates Usagi figure on his website along with some nice sketch incentives. Sadly the first wave appears to have already sold out, but watch his facebook closely as he's posted they may list more after they've taken inventory: http://stansakai.com/product-categor...e-toy-variant/
EDIT: Seeing this heavily discussed at the end of the 2017 toys thread. I should have *figured* this was being discussed already. Pun intended. Feel free to delete this thread or shift discussion here. I'll go stick my nose back in the comics section where it belongs. Last edited by funatic; 12-06-2017 at 12:59 AM. |

This really deserved its own thread anyway, and moderators are usually dealing with much bigger problems here anyway (if they're here at all). This figure deserved its own thread anyway.
I have already put this up on eBay. Stan himself posted a link to my auction on his official Facebook page. The choice to only list a set quantity per day has enabled me to generate money to scalp more of these

Sakai should send you a cease and desist. He owns the rights to that photograph, which is his own marketing material for his own store.

Most of you guys hate me anyway, so no point in not being frank.
Why should he do that? The figure isn't going to be worth any less when I have it in hand and can take my own picture. I am not his competition. Nobody is going to buy this until his stock has been depleted anyway. It's also free advertising for his site.

The figure does kind of need it's own thread. I thought it would have generated a bit more attention on here then it has to be honest.
I was able to pick the remarque version up the other day when they were for sale, but now that Stan has posted all the AP sketches on his Facebook I am really regretting not slinging the extra cash for one of those so I will try again today and see if I can get a second one. If I can I'll probably sell off the 1st one I got, but I'll wait to see when I get them in hand and pick my favorite.... assuming I even am able to get a second one anyway. They are supposed to go up today, but I have no clue when.

My guess is that they will hit the same time as they did Monday to maintain some sort of order amidst the chaos. What I can't speculate about is whether or not they will post the remaining stock or another 100.

Assuming they even have that much in remaining stock... if the counter was malfunctioning they may have sold more than intended the first go around.

I guess it depends if he posted the link to the auction out of annoyance or amusement...

When you sell someone something, it's theirs to do what they please with...

Obviously he can't make you take the listing down, but he could at least impede you with your own laziness and disrespect for copyright. And judging by the "angry faces" the Facebook post has, he does know that his fans aren't too happy so he probably isn't either at this point, so, I'm just pointing out one of his options. Anyway, if I have to explain this basic truth to you then you may be in the wrong business as you will most likely get yourself in trouble eventually, it's just a matter of time. |

Fair point. I will just wait until I have it in hand and take my own picture.

The toys are up again, but the $50 and $175 tiers are out of stock.
I don't really see why there would be any problems with Latin Kings using Sakai's own photo since it is being used as the sales image on the shop. As long as there's transparency that the image is just used for stock, shows the correct tier and is clearly stated not being the actual picture of the product, there shouldn't be any issues.
