    Yeah I'm not really sure on the "undead" smurf, the smurfs mixed parts looks nice, really nice colours but the other one feels a bit slapped together and weak

    you could and you would have 2 nice coloured figures but no smurf, It felt like a "now what shall I do with all these left over parts?" which thus spawned the weak undead smurf (whatever the fuck that is) rather than thinking "I want to make this toy, what coloured parts do I need?", I feel like I'm the minority but the smurf looked great and the undead smurf looked shit

    Better to use the cast off parts then have them in a landfill somewhere. I guess he coulda used them for hand painted versions though.

    Yeah there's all kinds of folks here that would be willing to paint up the spare, myself included.
    Neb's already done some nice Beets and I'd love to see a PK one if he had the time.

    They all look pretty terrible. I really don't understand people, who can't paint with any kind of technique, deciding to paint on toys(1 of the harder surfaces to paint on). The Joker Beet is a good idea, someone take it and execute it well please.

    That said, I'm going to paint a bunch of these with white tanktops and call them wifebeeties. Then I will do a follow up series with creepy mustaches and call them deadbeet dads. Also, I am not very funny.

    I painted some Easter Eggs to look like Muppets' characters, should I hock those here? Or maybe the ones that look like a Super Sentai team, that should be okay right?

    At least you can't "ruin" a toy that was terrible to begin with.

    Some thoughts on customs for anyone that wants more reading.

    We are just picky. I, for example, only like stuff like this:

    This thread is about the Deadbeet and subjects relating to it. If someone doesnt care for it fine. But If Im going to get shit for doing that, then they are idiots. I dont go on a Nag thread and say whatever I want. Everyone with a hard on for nags would crap their pants. So big deal. Not towards you mutantshark, in general.

    Exactley. To me, it looks as If an old wasted raver died in a pool of trix cereal. But thats me. Im not going to go to a thread that it belongs to and crap in it.

    For better or worse this thread is here to stay.

    Awwwwwwww, I just miss him. This place is getting so stale, and since I can't turn to him in person for love and attention, I need to at least be able to pull up the pic now and then. :)
