Hi My Name is Arkiv, I'm a Half Animal and a Half Dream

hey scott - how'd the neck and back feel this mornin'?

 

i second that. haha.

 

I agree that there was too much derivative of KAWS in the figure, but then, the "KAWS stance" was ripped off from the Michelin man, not to mention other elements lifted from well known commercial icons, so at what point does the successive derivation remain cool or cease to be cool?

 

when are we gonna get HMS and manimal to duke it out in a ring??? SDCC maybe? I'll pay to see that...I know HMS already...hey manny,post a pic of yourself so we can see if it's a match even worth the billing?

 

hahaha i got a large potato head and a mean left hook - fly me out - ill throw down




man i love how every now and again I get trashed and by tossing up a "wink" im supposed to assume its all in good fun - im having a blast here as always - new attitude in 20-08 but im still baited at times to act the fool - I think a select few of you miss the old asshole-ish dumbshit MANIMAL - sorry kids - im mellow'd out in 20-08


.....but ill still box HMS for fun

 

no no

put on the suits

let's do this thing right or not at all

 

So what exactly distinguishes the old Manimal from the new one? <--- wink

 

aw yeah pickle has the right idea - I gotta get to work on a giant SPUD suit with potato eyes all over it!

 

sorry dude...fly yourself out!

I ain't hating either..just having fun too!

I'll throw down too! Get some Cro-Mags playing on a stereo and go to work...oh how I miss 80's hardcore shows......

 

...haha was hoping for a free flight!


- wish i could make it out to SDCC - not to fight but to just check out the event as a whole and meet everyone - would be cool to run into half of you guys and buy you a drink as well as to see the other half fake the funk when im live and direct.

 

ahahahahah - damn Loco you cracked me up today - a zinger and a candy apple custom - are we really this worthy?

 

I like a lot of western based artist's but not do expect to see them on this forum... everybody here knows where to go for that type of thing but I do feel as though like I have said before that other interest's such as music, movies, women, cars, whatever your into and so forth are all somewhat influencial of the toys that collectors buy and should not be deliberately ragged on when these "other" topics are brought to board for discussion...

As for this Arkiv toy I would obviously rather see it being promoted elsewhere because I frequent this board for a different type of toy vibe...

anyway...

 

"It's not what you do it's the way that you do it..."

 

no bait needed

 

I'd be surprised if the toy ever gets actually made. xono asks at what point does repetition of old themes get old---I'd say when the work is so obviously uninspired as it was here.

its funny to start spamming toy forums when you're product doesn't even exist as a mold.

 

They need ringside managers if they are going to throwdown. I think manimal and kozik would go at it with HMS, and it would be like OH SHIT! Kozik has got a smorkin labbit chair, and then he would whack scott over the head.

So HMS who would be in your corner? And somebody please make a galtan suit to wear, a skull head and some pinchy claws? that would be one intimidating costume.

As for kaws he is a lot bigger in japan and has his store there or whatever. I feel like now his japanese pop cultureness rivals if not exceeds his here in the states. Even his books and shows happen there first. I still dislike any thing besides his bus stop and poster campaign.

 

I'll back up HMS...I haven't fought in a while(in a ring)...just training right now only. It would be a good match and shit...fuck...I could see it now:LASK wins by TKO!

 

Maybe they can dress up as kaiju for SB's own version of Kaiju Big Battle...

 

i can see it now....
manimal jumps in the ring as himself with a light spray of yellow down his spine and declares, 'i am custom manimal'. and hopefully he'll be wearing one of his 'grab bags' over his potato head.

edit:

 

I usually don't ever say a word about this kind of shit going on.
But Scott, your replies are cracking me up dude!! This is some funny shit!
This is what I needed after a hard day at work..

 

ive suggested the skullbrain ring for sdcc so many times.
but Only if everybody dresses up as their favorite fight figure.

 

dibs on chicken fever

 

i'll be here all week.

dibs on finkshit... i want a big HMS across my ass

 

sick burn that was hilarious! hahahahaha - def a good way to end the work day.........and just to set you straight - they're MYSTERY bags douche

 

i stand corrected by mr. potato head
