    Holy crap, this is an amazing toy. I don't think I've seen a vinyl tell a story as well as this one. I can't wait for when they are back in stock!

    Cool... a light is something I've always struggled with my set up for. In the summer I just head outside, but have been trying to think about what to do for lighting for winter painting. I'm thinking LED as I don't want to blow up. ;)

    So basically, what you are saying is, Chris, you save your painting for the two weeks of year it hits. <har-har>

    ^^yea Chris, I recommend a nice LED bar. I installed one right after the opening lip in the booth and it's perfect lighting.

    thanks Doug and Patrick!:thumbsup:

    I still can't get over this figure. The fact that it also looks like it could have come out in 1973 really gets to me as well. I really, really love this thing. I hope you continue to have success man. I look forward to what you produce in the future!

    Edit: Do you have a mailing list for announcements of when you'll have new runs coming out by chance?

    Welllllll......ummm..... yeah, I guess that will work for most people. :oops:

    The mailing list thing seems a sort of wishful request, but please just don't forsake us completely for the land of the social media followers, Brent. (not that I would ever expect you to, but it seems more and more these days unless you are on IG, you might just be SOL for a lot of toy releases). :(

    You make a good point Steve. I could post the info here but I don't wanna annoy anyone.
    Maybe I will look into a mailing list when I get a chance.

    Steve, I'm not sure if IG used to have this option, but now most makers on there have their profiles set up so they can be viewed by anyone. You don't need to be a member to view their content. It's no different than visiting any website or blog, just with the benefit of having many artists, etc. in one place.

    But that's just for the ol knowledge bank. Let the sb owl news commence.

    Aww, shucks. We are collectively touched in all the right places, Brent. Thank you so much,

    That sneak peek sure is a stunner. Dare I say that your new spray booth is already working miracles? Glow 'n delicious, just the way I like it! :thumbsup:
