A Prodigy variant released with an Iggy Pop tribute? Might as well have been Bozo the Clown vs Raw Power Iggy.

I'm glad someone is out there making what they want. It's just one small project that I think is pretty damn cool.

The creative minds behind the tomfoolery are capable of more conceptually and artistically. What seemed offensive was that the promotion was too hamfisted, lazy, and contrived. COOPS rendition of the toy is easily the best aspect of this line.

Re: Got paranoia?
I loved the Garamon version, and the red version was pretty great. It's a great sculpt and clearly nagnagnag puts a lot of love into the paint. But really, pound for pound, for the prices being fetched, compared to Anraku, Real Head, Zollmen, Elegab, Bemon? Let's see 2 or 10 more sculpts from nagnagnag before we make any comments on that.

The constant hate and fights and crap is very entertaining. It's like the more people complain about the toy/release/flipping the more people get into the figure, or at least read about it. It's like they're promoting it! Are you guys working for him? Anyway, I'm always interested to see what comes next. No doubt more complaints and praise at the same time in some weird and disfunctional way but screw it, I'm having a good time. PS- Carl, I love the new avatar, it must be nice to come outa the barn finally!

Re: Got paranoia?
Like Ratt, only outta the Barn...
Like NWA, only straight outta the Barn....
Like Iggy, only my mutton suit isnt see through vinyl and around my ankles....
Like Keith Flint, only not a complete chancer.....
Mr Krudler, the flag wielding pic I thought was by Greg, not by Shigeru - so not sure he was in on that little bit o "hype".
It is a fun thread - I got a new avatar (thank you Biff), and got all testy with my friends - good times!

You're absolutely correct on that account Carl. Sometimes I work for people who pay me to protect the interests of third parties who may not even know what's up until they meet me. There's a synergy going on here that may or may not be calculated. Bozo the Clown might make for a cool version but John Wayne Gacy would be much more interesting if only for the accessories. The Iggy version was cool by the way. Just hate Keith Flint.

Re: Got paranoia?
That is so precious coming from someone with a Russian name ( given Russia's tortured relationship with both Jews and Nazis).

You denied Nazi leanings back on page 38: Greg Mishka wrote: I dont think I have anything to defend. Last time I was in Hong Kong, I bought a bunch of historical and current flags, from the flag of Palestine, to the Jewish flag, to the nazi flag, american flag, confederate flag etc. I know my history, I know the current situations around the world. I had a stack of these flags, and there was mentioned that one hand was blue and one was red. I thought of how controversial this thread has been, so I thought I would add a little more. So there! If you are so offended by looking at a Nazi flag, I hope you are just as offended by looking at a photo of President Bush. Politics are a lot different now, what was done in plain site, is now done behind closed doors, and with computers. Innocents are "collateral damage" and they are in the 100s of thousands, I am sure our government will catch up to Hitler eventually if they haven't already. If you do not think there has been a systematic plan for YEARS in this country to get rid of certain races in this country and the world, then maybe its time to go back to history class or dig a little deeper.
I would use that photo for an art exhibit, store display, whatever you want to call it, because its freedom of speech and expression. I don't care that it was removed from the board, because censorship is rampant even in a country with a 1st amendment. I know that the internet and not really a country and this is an international community. but this thread has already had its controversy, will continue to have it, and again, I am stand behind by photo as artistic expression, and if you have anything to say about that, then you are no better than the people that you hate. Hard to get the facts straight if you're an artist hiding behind artistic expression 40 + pages ago and now you're a "Nazi Jew" as opposed to a sarcastic PR guy.
