BUD Series 3

For some reason the non-transparent Skillbuds all remind me of the Coneheads...

I think the VanBeaterman works both because its an awesome design and also because UltraMan had an oddly shaped head to begin with.

Don't get me wrong, the flameheads are cool. I don't collect them but are slowly coming around (accept the skllbuds). Dig the image I saw of the creature from the black lagoon one. Will own that as well as the kozik one (thinking I will have to get beaterman). I guess I just fell in love with the original buds cause of the look and for me the matchstick makes it. As well as the nades with the removable pin.

It seperated them from the over hyped dunnys. But as ferg as mentioned I don't always get WHAT I WANT.

Im open to change. Looking forward to Series 3 and trust you guys. (Danny Miller: Dunny free Since 1978)

SPECIAL SAUCE? haha
if given the choice, I'm surprised Kozik didn't go for the A-Bomb head. or were they not given that choice? heh

either way, it will look great next to Kzk's other 2 figures.

Wow...I'm gone for a day and look at the chaos. ANARCHY.....LOL

I like it. Can't wait to see the rest.

yeah I'm stoked for S3

I'm really excited now! Nice to hear that the artists got to decide which sculpt they liked best. Is Jamungo the best fuckin company out there, or what?

Indeed, they are!

And I am sure the next Kozik Trooper will be the A-bomb, since he does seem to be making the rounds!

What I am surprised is that there haven't been any Jamungo Anarchy BUDs (aside from the 9") from Kozik. It seems he puts these out ad-nauseum for pretty much every other kind of fig you can find.

It might almost be cool to have a Kozik A (for Anarchy) Bomb on the ABomb sculpt.

Of course, I am kind of sick of seeing plain black or white figs with an "A" on the forehead... but if it were Jamungo I guess it would still be cool.

It wasn't based on Ultraman, it was based on Jet Jaguar from Godzilla vs. Megalon. But I guess you can argue that Jet Jaguar was based on Ultraman...

It's so funny that you mention this. I was just talking with my friend about the "Kozik series" and what we thought might be in it. Anarchy nades/buds/abombs would probably happen for sure. Also HOPEFULLY an ultraviolence, so I could build a military batallion of those, and a redrum. Oh and probably another trooper of some sort. Other then that, we were kind of at a loss as to what else might be in there. Maybe some kind of political spoof thing. I really can't wait to see them.

I don't really like most of the anarchy toys Kozik makes. Too plain in general. I just think an Anarchy ABomb would be funny, in the same way that many of you think the F Bomb is funny

I can't think of anything Kozik has done that I haven't liked, except for that crazy King Diamond-looking figure he did. I would love to see 3" Redrum, Anarchy and Ultraviolence BUDS, but if you look at the other toys he's designed for Jamungo, like his Sqwert and his trooper and Che, none of those designs has been seen before. He's a brilliant designer, and IMO doesn't get the respect he deserves. People only talk about the smoking, anarchy, redrum, communist and ultraviolence, but pay no attention to his designs that have nothing to do with those five themes. Take a look at the Chumps, or the previously mentioned toys for Jamungo, or millions of other toys, qees, etc. He's da man!

Kozik A-BOMB FTW!!

*would be cool to have some sort of accessory...maybe a lil BUD

My only complaint is that the redrum & anarchy designs are very plain and everywhere. Practically every series of toy has at least one of those designs, and they don't use the forms they are on at all, whereas his Trooper designs for the BUD & especially the Nade totally take what those figures are, and bring them to a new level.

For the record I think is Stalin, Beethoven & Ho Chi Minh busts are all amazing (and if they weren't so ridiculously expensive I would own some). I also like what I have seen so far of his upcoming Giant Army Men.

A fertalizer A bomb would be dope as hell.

I hear what you're saying, but the Redrum and Anarchy are frequently requested specifically by the companies that produce the toys because they are often the ones most in demand. That was the case with the Tofu Robots. Many people have collections of exclusively Redrum and Anarchy collections.

An "Oh Shit" ABomb would be cool too.

Sounds like an "Make it like Affliction" kinda of thing...
