1/6 Sniper Assassin Specialist NOM Master Lupin from Underverse Drops Oct 21st



Underverse has announced that their "Sniper Assassin Specialist NOM Master Lupin" WWR 1/6 scale collectible figure will be available for pre-order October 21st, 10:00AM HK (China) Timezone at Underverse.com and the UV Tmall.



I had previously featured this made for a early-release as part of @underversehq "THE NEW JOURNEY" Mini Exhibition in Beijing (from Oct 1st), and now available for international collectors, priced at US$210 + shipping.



I've always had a "thing" for fur/furry lined-hoodies, more likely started from Tokyo Tribes' "MERA" figure (from Medicom Toys), which bled into back in the early-2000s collecting any-jacket with fur hoodies - particularly period wars! And while I don't collect "military" (not "actively" anyways :p), I've managed to snag a small collection of such 1/6th-scaled clothing LOL

This always reminded me of a particular instance, when a group of us 1/6-collector went shopping together, for a toy-run starting with a shop near Beach Road, and I remembered very distinctly pulling out a long military jacket with furry hood (the shop sold loose individual clothing and accessories), and thinking to myself: "SCORE!" .... and instantaneously someone behind me snatching the item up and away from my hand, and literally walked straight to the cashier to pay for the item!

A father of two, and a working professional had disregarded common courtesy (If he'd asked, I'd gladly passed it to him as I know he collected this genre) and disrespected me over a piece of toy. I was so dumbstruck by the absolutely rudeness of the person and his actions, I had no words.

I would be lying to say I'd risen above it all, as I've this scenario in my mind since, but I've always marvelled at how our "hobbies" and it's importance, are different from each other, even though we might be collecting the "same thing".

"Toy Collecting" can be harsh, man... LOL
