    I hate to break it to you, but on most occasions, art only becomes appreciated as such with the fuel we call hype. I'm not saying Greg made Shigeru, by no means. I think Shigeru's creation was destined for popularity amongst the community from the get go. However, art has always been adopted as such by people with loud mouths and deep pockets, no matter how far back you go.

    Sorry Blood. :oops:

    I'd express myself otherwise, but I think this forum has enough memes and one liners.

    That's kind of condescending.

    @ Dean;
    I'd be kidding myself if I didn't believe "patrons" didn't have some sort influence on the work of artists they supported and represented. I'm sure the Medicis made Michelangelo change a few hairdos. ; ) However, Warhol became Warhol without anyone in the general public knowing who Leo Castelli was.

    @ HBCoffin
    I'm not arguing how successfully it was hyped, that's pretty evident. My point is that in this case the "patron" and his baggage, overshadowed the artist/creation.

    On a completely unrelated note, today I saw someone decked out in Mishka apparel at work. Was kinda surprised as I don't live in Cali or NY, and it wasnt at a convention.
    Carry on :)

    That's because no self-respecting resident of either city would ever be caught dead (or alive) wearing any of that garb, that may explain why.

    these releases came with a special guest appearance, shigeru
    and that incurs costs , travel expenses, food, lodging..
    i'm curious as to whether the 850. price tag and art as toy label was the suggested solution to these costs provided by
    his hosts and event planners, if so then his visit should of been as hyped as the toy itself.
    if shigeru himself set the price then as his hosts and
    representatives of your local scene maybe other options might of been visited,
    a cover charge for entry, nag event posters, autograph session, throw a party.

    i'd imagine shigeru looks to his hosts to set the tone and establish what they deem to be acceptable proceedings,
    dybbukim is a good example with his cash sale on the street.

    the idea that these events might of helped suggest to shigeru that 850. is a reasonable price for the western market and having your customers foot the bill for his visit is what's grossing me out.
    it's all about shigeru and you, the rest is just enabling this expensive date.

    this is what i'm getting from what's been posted thus far and i wish someone would say that it was all shigeru's doing and that you did your best to make a popular toy available at reasonable costs for your fellow collectors but it seems hard to believe that a japanese artist selling his toys online for 300$ would have the balls to visit his fans in another country and impose an 850$ price tag without being backed by the locals.

    I just checked the urban dictionary for MAWANKA and all it said was, "MAWANKA, opposite of badonkadonk"

    That might be the funniest series of comments I have ever read on SB! But now I've revealed myself as a Nag-thread-troll... Damn...
