the term "haters" comes from the fact that you expouse hate.

which by itself is not the issue. the issue is you expouse hate and then wonder what the big deal is when people react to your hate.

Dear Bigaro Lovers.

I own Bigaros.

How many, I don't know as I have a rambling collection.
But at least, counting, at least seven.

Peace Out...

PS and yes, Jocappy, I own two Slimes...

(which I doubt I will ever sell) apologies...

espouse |i?spouz| verb [ trans. ] 1 adopt or support (a cause, belief, or way of life) : she espoused communism. 2 archaic marry : Edward had espoused the Lady Grey. • ( be espoused to) (of a woman) be engaged to (a particular man).

Was Flynn espousing hate when he dissed the Bigaro?

Do we live in such a PC world that differing opinions can't be verbalized?

If I go ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz to a toy, that is neutral (in my mind).
Are you saying that that is HATE????

If i hated something, I would be much more direct and clear.

Cmon.

I read that "Cmon" as Gob would say it. I laughed to myself, and now I'm going to bed.

Liquid,

I'll give you that. When you HATE something you are very direct and clear.

But I am referring to you dissing Frank's work in one post and asking him for a favor on the Bigaro in another.

More specifically, a few weeks ago you pm'd me for a favor as well. You wanted to know if I could hook you up at the Le Merde show. Despite your views on customs and their collectors, I graciously replied that I would if I could. No reply.

Then you flame me in the smogon post the other day:

For anyone that didn't see the silver smogon I asked Koji Harmon to paint:

just a suggestion on etiquette:

When asking for favors, it is best to avoid asking them from people you proclaim to HATE

Since I make customs myself I always wondered what the reactions would be when someone would work on a rare and limited toy.
Now I know, so thanks for that link.

Back to Frank's designs: I think this rhino looks better and way more original then any of the late [expletive deleted] designs. And since this one didn't make the cut, I hope to see the others soon!

How big will they be? Like the Dr.Bomb?

What is with this "haters" term? Frank can (and does) whatever he wants. He obviously was a pioneer in the Western market and makes good money. Kudos to him.

He has the stones to interact with collectors unlike some other toy designers. The toy in this thread didn't do anything for me. I don't love it or hate it unlike that EWOK Horselington thing with a base which I despise.

But let's be honest, not everything is great to everyone. Those who don't care for something can be silent, but is that really being honest?

Even Flynn ripped the Bigaro design a long time ago...


then WHY DID YOU ASK ME TO SELL YOU A BLANK ONE????????????????????????????

Yeah, I got balls unlike some up here. And for the record, I did it with two separate sculpts and I was polite about it and Frank turned me down. Whatever.

And Toybot, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I know for a fact that I inquired about and purchased two toys on BST. I PMd that I was interested and then sealed the deal with the seller.

I later learned from the seller, that you offered to pay above the selling price in an attempt to spoil the sale and take it yourself.

RFSO? hahhahhahahha

I never called you out about it, but since you're creating drama and acting so innocent and pure, explain that one. How often do you do that?

Please show an example of where I said that despise Frank's work.

I have two of his posters, the Humbert and the Japanese girl with bare feet.
I own two skeleton rabbiits that I purchased a long time ago at retail.

Is Frank really a customizer? No. Probably more like a painter.
He's selling painted pieces in big runs not custom pieces.

And then there was that bootleg that you commissioned because you felt that you would never get a Mutant Evil. Which caused some distress and drama and freaked some people out.

Game over in my book.

I think the issue is that the comment looked snide and snotty, the following posts lends to maybe a little bit of 'sour grapes', could be wrong

Suerly all opinions are welcome, even from the people who enjoy the folly of crankiness.

What I would prefer to see if I was in Frank position would be something I guess a little more insightful and respectful.

"This doesn't do much for me" seem better then ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz

and better yet "This doesn't do much for me, I really don't like the color and he needs a cigarette"

Clearly you can post pretty much whatever you want, but expect the reaction you get when those kinds of comments are thrown about.

Just how I see it

no, i'm definitely not innocent, nor pure.

Had I known you were the buyer, I would have offered triple the price to the seller plus a $25 Starbucks gift card. :twisted:

As for the commissions, I love Koji's Smogon, Paul Kaiju's GID skull pirate and especially LASH's Mutant Evil. The gems of my collection!!! I have a couple of more RxH up for customizing including your favorite sculp, Bigaro. I can hardly wait to show them to you. hahahahahahaha!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I think liquid just needs a big group hug since a lot of his recent posts have been sort of bitter. Maybe something is troubling him in real life, we're here to help liquid.


Shhhhhhh, i'm here now.
