Everlast is friends w Kaws & Hikaru they give him free stuff just about every release I think. La Coka Nostra has done several collabs w BXH as well.
Seriously. I don't see a single thing in that photo that interests me. Sure, it's a big collection of popular artist's toys, but it's nothing that hasn't been seen ten thousand times before. Double seriously. COOP's is the best I've seen. I don't give a fuck about Nags, but he's got tons of other awesome toys. Are there pictures of Danzig's around?
Check this thread...about 15 posts down for pics of Dazing with toys http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=36282
I was questioning that myself, but in a sense I'd say so. I mean, I knew who he was from the art world before I was into collecting toys. He's as much of a celebrity as KAWS or Kozik, etc., and more deserving of recognition than some hack like Everlast.
Took me a sec Coop, ur like a cult celebrity at least. Is that a thing? and triples on the bieber nag. That's a hot ticket!
One time I held an art event at the complex where your studio is, Coop... underground thing. One of the girls there was a HUGE fan of yours and kept going out to her car and bending over getting stuff out of the trunk hoping her big butt would be, and this is a direct quote.... 'Coop Bait'. If that's not celebrity, I don't know what the hell is.
Wait....if you're a celeb and you go an tv and say you like an artists shit he'll give you free shit at every release? Hell, I'm going to get on that...I can get on tv.....
Maybe 3 years ago at sdcc? I was at toy tokyo and looking in the case and dude was standinf next to me netdin out on toys. Talking to someone at tt about a sold out toy, and then they said they save dhim one and they opulled out a huge bag of shit for him in the back. See celebrity treatment...
I remember seeing a pic of a very young Kirk Hammett with a bunch of Godaikins, Machinders, etc in his room. this wasn't the pic but its the closest I could find.
Readvthe s7 devilman issue, it talks about kirk going to japan with pushead, and searching around for toys, meeting go nagai.
