Yes, can we get the definitive word on this release so we can act accordingly?
Is your tongue in your cheek Muton? I can't tell
if you like it - buy it. if you don't - don't.
Tongue firmly
not in cheek. As I have said repeatedly above, I would need to see a better pic to make a decision. But if this some kind of rip-off then that would definitely effect my decision as to whether I invested time to actively seek it out, let alone spend money.
This isn't a new thing. We've had other threads where a release has been aesthetically pleasing BUT people have been lobbied (rightly or wrongly) to not buy it based on who is selling it. Case in point; some OB releases.
I was just trying to find out the definitive word on this so I could make an informed purchase based on teh comments you raised earlier...that is all, no tongue's in cheek....just trying to do the right thing.
When faced with so many choices and so many great toys being released, for me anyway, it can trasncend simply whether you liek something or not.
I maybe alone in this, but if I meet an artist and find he is a dick, I find it hard to display his work on my wall due to the emotional connection I have with the art. In teh past this has stimulated me to sell certain pieces. Its similar with a toy - it may look rad to me - but if the product isn't blessed by the artist then I probably won't want to support it - especially in the case of a smaller company like RxH. I guess I can't help but favor teh underdog in most cases - which probably explains why I relate more to the grunts than I do to the bosses.
mmm...that made me think a lot.. uh oh
anyway, thanks for the info.
