    So I'm almost complete on wings and I do have the new ones but waiting on shipping from Japan and all ;) . I just need the GID white at this point.
    I felt like seeing them all together so I shot pictures. Everyone post your own if you want, including those customs and HP's (love those). Thats all I'm after now, a few grails (4) and all HP goodness as far as PusheadxSecret Base goes (or PusxKaws).

    For those who dont know, I have been a Pushead fan for roughly 20 years now (just into his art not any toys or collectibles from him) and started wanting the figures/toys I have aquired a few years (almost 3) ago now. Recently I became able to buy what I've wanted for a long time. Just for those who might think I'm a shelf stuffer or whatever, I do collect comics, books, figurines, action figures, stickers, shoes, art in general, disney porcelain, blah blah blah. Point is, I'm a real collector not just blowing through here to get what I want or be Mr. "Cool Guy, Build it Quik".

    20 years? So much dedication!

    I lack the white GID too, seem a bit hard to track.

    White flocked wing is a toughie too.

    Yeah, 20 give or take. I wanted some pushead art tattoo's at the age of 11 or 12 (I have always known I would be tattood, just like guys know they will be cops or fireman at a young age) after seeing some Metallica album covers. I couldnt believe the depth and precision he creates with. Thats what did it, just didnt get into vinyl toys until somewhere around 2002-2003 (whenever the first KRap products were being released) and then wasnt into the pushead or JP vinyl yet (idiot) because I was all KRap. It's like getting a shitty tattoo but not knowing the difference between what's shitty, and what's good solid work. So in my mind back then there was no discerning line telling me JP or Western, quality or KRap. They were all just vinyl toys to me.


    Thanks much everyone, That flocked didnt come cheap but I knew it wouldnt be easily obtainable again for a long time so I bit the bullet.

    I think they look killer as an army.

    Thank much Bryce.
    Honestly that has been the goal all along. Get all production pieces out of the way so all monies can go toward HP's. I feel wierd buying HP's of a figure if I dont have most of the production pieces, I know I'm a trip but thats how I feel.

    Thanks Kev, If anyone would have asked me a year ago if I thought my collection would look anything like this I would have called them down right senile.

    Good hunting Matt!
    There have definitely been a lot of old treasures popping up lately, so I think your timing is pretty perfect.
    The flocked is definitely one of my favorite pieces :twisted:

    Honesty here: I thought you meant gold plated like the Pirates. I am waiting on both the golds in a trade with someone here. I totally misconstrued what you meant, feeling dip-sh!%'ish.

    nice collection, i am waiting for the 2 new ones as well so hopefully in the next week they will show up

    then i only need the 2 glows and the flocked to finish off, and of course an HP would be cool but i am sure i will finish at some point

    got to save with xmas coming up and after getting one of my grails recently (fudge dam) money is a little tight
