Pffftttt no the new breed here wants everything handed to them. I've had this one guy PM me annoyed that I'm not updating the Zollmen database I made. Like it's my job to do it? Even though I clearly said in the thread I'm not doing it anymore. When I quoted myself from the thread back to him via PM, he had the nerve to ask if I can get someone else to do it. Like that's also my job to do...
Well FWIW my query was only one of curiosity. I wasn't suggesting anyone tap into Mori's non-existent database. What was on my mind as I posed the question was the fact that I know a few prolific creative folks who don't bother archiving their creations. It's either up to collectors, fans, galleries, or nobody at all. Thanks logang for the response.
Dean, my post wasn't directed at you or the OP. I just find it strange that so many people seem to desire checklists and databases, yet few take the initiative to create them. It's not like an old-timers versus new people thing, since most of this information is still out there for anyone to find.
Actually the sense of mystery and the unknown is one of the many perks I enjoy about collecting kaiju or sofubi! Its always exciting to come across a sculpt or colorway you never knew existed.
Nothing's more punk than paying $200 for a Japanese toy. Bonus if it glows in the dark and/or is flecked with glitter.
