    I think you have mistaken me for someone who wanted to be an artist.
    I still make bootleg toys.
    Its a love of toys thing.
    Not a throw paint on every single toy I can get my hands on just to paint and try to sell them thing.
    But I doubt you'd understand the whole actually collecting thing.

    I love how childish this place gets
    Your friend came here to sell his stuff.
    He gets called out.
    You call names.
    You were the same person selling things and doing customs for a rip off artist because he had never ripped you off personally. Way to keep the community and RFSO going brah.

    Or like all the figures painted straight out of the Monster Color playbook over and over and over again?

    Some of us are truly inspired by vintage Japan toys. That's what inspired me to make them.

    Years ago, not just any KR "Now I feel it" yahoo could get their half ass wad of uninspired pounded Playdough sent to Japan and "Sofubi-ized"
    A few of us worked very hard, actually WENT to Japan, and networked our asses off.

    Ask me about the difference.That's my opinion on that.

    audio - Your attempts at condescension throughout this thread is kind of pathetic. You see that purple in Paul's response?

    I think we can all agree, PK has the final say on things. No sarcasm here.

    I can understand your feeling that way. Japanese soft vinyl is a medium becoming increasingly popular, and more accessible for use no doubt. I do Think George Gaspar is an incredible accomplished sculptor.

    I also remember all the "I don't feel its" and "Cheap" looking remarks that made me leave the KR board.
    Comes around goes around I guess. Now SB is some sort of lifeboat. :lol:

    I think George is an amazing sculptor. I never said he wasn't. ;)

    It's amazing how much this thread now resembles the kind of KR thread all of us hate. What sucks is that it's a sentiment being created by long time SB'ers.

    Not everyone likes every figure, I get it and thats ok. And I'm all for serious discourse about a toy but I'm not sure what kind of complaint you could have about the actual figure other than there's been a ton of releases in less than a year. It seems like there's a lot of hate because the figures popular.

    Just wanted to comment on this because I think no one noticed, but do you actually think Roma/Romani come from Rome? Try Romania, I can see where the confusion lies but still...
    You're clearly confused as to what gypsy means.


    I'm curious, do you consider what you do art?
    I've never been to this thread before, don't have a clue of what is going on but don't you guys feel that this is more attention than needed/deserved?

    edit. OK I see what's going on. Continue with the bashing. Out with the opportunists.

    Most of the stuff I do yes, especially when I sculpt on it or create something from scratch. There is meaning behind a lot of my work. But this thread is about Deadbeats so I wont post more about this here.

    Come out to the show SATURDAY May 4th. Think there's a cool show at TAG and a couple others as well? Good time to be in LA.

    This is the first run of 'Beets painted by Scott himself I believe. Cool that he let others have a crack at 'em even before he got to!!
    Should be some other Beet goodness at the show as well.
