    That's why. Though for clarity's sake, I don't think he has anything against Topher himself, just his paint color choices.

    And it's "one of the good ones" if you say it is, Odi ;)

    Edit: Although with figures like this awesome owl faced Baltan especially, I would have preferred its original colorway no matter the custom.

    You seriously underestimate how desperate I am for people's approval. i mean, I like what I like, but I am a deeply needy individual. Tell me I'm pretty?

    I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on the source of the character on the left above? There was a half-sized sheet of paper included in the bag that has a really poorly reproduced photo of the original rubber-suit guy, but I can't seem to find any info at all online. It's called Terra Incognita and in one promo image it's referred to as "Dino-human", but that info doesn't seem to be lead to anything on the origins.

    恐竜人間テラインコグニータ
    [​IMG]

    1972年、東京12チャンネルで放送されていた子供番組
    『ちびっこスペシャル』に登場する怪獣。
    番組内で登場したのが、放送第38回。
    全47回の終了間際での登場だったこと、関東ローカル番組故に
    テレビマガジン等全国誌での紹介が困難だった等
    様々な要因が重なり「幻の怪獣」となってしまう。
    また、当時の新聞の番組欄には「恐竜人間」と表記されていた。

    @Odibex - I leave it to you, or someone more skilled and patient than I, to work out a clear set o' facts from the above.

    Hey, man, thanks! The pics go a long way to satisfying my curiosity, even if I'm not getting a lot of info from translating that stuff. The third pic is the one that was included in the bag, but it looked more like something reproduced from a third-rate punk zine than an actual photo. About the only thing I could parse from the translations was that this guy was from a children's show (which makes sense given his aesthetic [though you can never be to sure with this tokusatsu stuff]). I couldn't even glean what the show was actually called! Pics saved for future reference. Thanks again.

    OK, first, your pics look 10x better than mine, and I have an actual camera (a super-cheesy one, but it is an actual camera). And the setting on the bottom two is aces (I'm assuming the first isn't your pic, but if so wow ;)). I've made this observation elsewhere, but that colorway on the Gogo reminds me a lot of those old "marbled" Super Balls you used to be able to get out of coin-op vending machines.

    The other two are awesome as well.

    Two questions niggling at me, though. You mentioned your "SS" nabbed one for you. Typo off SO, or SO who's in the SS? I don't know...

    Also:
    Not sure what this means. Did you order clothes at the same shop as the toys? Or maybe they were just some belongings you'd left at an ex's that they'd sent you... Just spitballing here.



    Also, I have a big question about USPS's Priority Mail service (for the board in general) and I figure this is as good a place as any to ask it. What exactly is the delivery procedure? Usually my post person will knock, and if I don't get to the door quickly enough, they'll leave it inside my storm door. Sometimes, I've had packages left in the door without the knocking part. One time a delivery person asked for a signature (but I think she may've been new). Actually, I guess this isn't even a Priority Mail question. Is your post person supposed (or required) to knock when they leave a package? Is it like when you get in line to check out your groceries and you know damn well it's in the job description for the cashier to greet you, but 1/3 of the time they don't bother? I'm kind of in a marginally sketchy area, so I really don't like stuff to be left out there any longer than necessary.

    There is a specific thread for that kind of question:
    http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/index.php?threads/going-postal-more-gripes.42645/page-3#post-902121

    Mate, this board isn't just here to answer your questions. You seem to be making it your full time job to achieve the largest number of posts
    on SB in the shortest space of time. You are so prevalent across the board its like SB has a stalker . . . .

    Oh, and i'm aware i post a lot compared to the average boardie, but you take the cake!

    I thought we covered this :?

    And disregarding any off-topicness (and I'm not sure how egregiously off-topic it is to ask about how you got something in the mail in a "what you got in the mail" topic is), what does it matter? What difference does it make? Is really affecting anybody's quality of life?

    It appears to me that at least the wall of text type posts from me have decreased (not by through any particular effort on my part) and you still seem to be bellyaching about posts no one's forcing you to read. I mean if, you think some sort of "5 comments a day" policy needs to be instituted for some bizarre reason, by all means, lobby for that. But, I really don't get it.

    Was there a poll I missed?

    And I find it a bit curious you'd get all huffy, when the tone of your initial comment was pretty insulting to begin.

    I'll send you a private message later if you really want to discuss this.

    More walls of text? No thanks.

    Very true. I will take your advice.

    Considering we've been having some pleasant interactions and discussions since I've returned (as recently as yesterday, even) this really strikes me as you throwing a hissyfit for no apparent reason. But, by all means, you do you.

    But keep exhibiting that condescension towards anyone who doesn't communicate the way you do, and making demands they conform to some imagined rules because you can't figure out how not to read posts that don't interest you. Oh, and when that doesn't get results, just shut them out completely. Good stuff.
