    I'm after all of the Skullbrains. Still need a few though... These are by far my favorite figure though. Alas, the hunt continues.

    I don't count unreleased toys, if I did I would go crazy.

    I just saw the blank dorbel in an old S7 mag, I wonder if Brian would sell it.

    Oh, yeah, Woodring, how could I forget!

    dorbels... I have the released ones; newts, both sets; both colored mantras; the jiva dolls; and the frank toys.

    (also have a nice set of prints from Pressure Printing - seems I got those from Glenn many moons ago - he was accumulating capital to buy some other art.)

    Didn't it have something to do with oxidation, or some reactivity of the paint?

    I am working on becoming a non-completist (incompletist). But it is hard work.

    i have complete sets of ... nothing. the only thing i'm attempting to complete are the pumpkin brains. completeness in general doesn't interest me so much. the times when i've actually completed sets of things, i eventually sell of all or part as it was more the acquisition than the possession that was interesting to me. might happen with the pumpkins if i obtain the last two, though the ones i thought i'd like the least (atmos) i liked quite a bit more when i saw them up close.

    and geo, the pressure printing stuff came from me :p -- jake.

    I do not have any complete sets. When it comes to most figures, there are color variants that simply don't appeal to me. If I actually liked all of the color variants of a particular sculpt, I might consider becoming a completist. That hasn't happened yet though.

    I was a Simpson's completist with their World of Springfield line. Well, almost. I PLANNED on being a completist. As it is I'm missing only 3 pieces. Sometimes I think I'll grab them just so I can truly say it's complete. But more often I think about getting rid of all the variants (still carded!) and just keeping the original figures. And I'd love to get rid of all the dioramas!

    Not a completist.
    I just buy what catches my eye. I don't understand owning a specific colorway or figure that doesn't call out to me.
