No luck on the lotto but that's okay. One seriously great release though! Keep those emails coming Rich.

Yes Rich! please keep sending those emails! It's good to hear from MVH.

- I'd have loved to receive a winning email though... -

Amazing release! Keep them coming!

Super psyched to have won though I think my fiancé and I have VERY different views of what winning a lottery looks like... the notion of winning the right to spend money is too bizarre for her to get while I was ready to scream it out Titanic style

And Rich, please keep the emails coming!

I've had this same conversation, and i never get through.

Hoping for a mvh release we can all buy soon...... Not getting the email suuuuuuuux donkey balls.

the enma was an open run..

^^ Yep, i was really close to pulling the trigger but other shit got in the way . . . . . that green with the purple looks amazing!

I'm just gonna swoon for a sec.

I'm so lucky to have such amazing supporters of my toys and brand. Ive said it before but I couldn't be happier with the fan base I've found. All you guys and gals have been great , patient, enthusiastic and positive. With all the negativity in our small toy world this is refreshing.

No hyped up arguments, no backstabbing, minimal flipping just real fans collecting toys they truly enjoy.

This is what every toy maker dreams of and I'm lucky to have it.

I just hope that I can keep our relationship going and I can keep producing toys and paint apps that you all enjoy.

Thanks again everyone !!!

My attitude would improve greatly if I was gifted a mixed part Ollie..

Just saying is all...

Congratz! everyone who won! Can't wait to see some pix! Rich your awesome!

I stand corrected....an open DX Death Sludge or Doji.....I know it will happen again, as I missed the first run by a few months.

I don't know man, already did that with the orange and black and definitely don't see it happening this year that's for sure.

Guess I will keep trying my luck than.

What I regret is I missed the orange DX Slugde Demon , I really want a
blank DX Slugde Demon in my unpainted collection.

^^ Yep, i totally regret missing that orange unpainted too . . . . i snoozed and loozed

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

Yes, it was my way

Just curious about what makes open runs so " i don't know man...". It sounds like they're a royal pain in the ass...

I'm guessing the amount of labor, the time it consumes, unexpected delays, miscommunication or misunderstanding with factories, shipping, assembling (which i've learned from assembling the blank grody figures, it take a while and its a pain in the ass if not done correctly), and antsy fans who want their figures NOW.

at least that's what I got from the invisaollie release.

That summed it up very well.

But if everyone was on board and understands and agrees to this than I can work it out.

Work it out Rich, I am pretty sure we now understand better the process that an open run takes.

Come on Rich...how about an unassembled, unpainted, mixed parts release?

I'd be psyched to get a bag of SD DX or Ollie parts and put it together myself.

I'm on board. I understand. I agree to this. Let's work it out!!

Lukes approach seemed cost efficient and less time consuming, allowing us to experience just a taste of the hardship of a toy maker while taking some of the responsibilities off the toy maker's back. I'd say that's a win win situation.

Okay I'll think about it
