aaaahaha - chris - i hate you but i love you - hahahahaha




i guess you all ran outta steam so yer searchin for any and all things MANIMAL related huh? kinda makes your arguments weak but damn a good bunch of us are laughin our asses off! - keep goin!

does anyone remember that custom seashell painted like hedorah on ebay?

Personally, I draw the line at customs from under the sea.

ahahahahah - man this is getting crazy! someone...get me some barnacles, NOW !!!

Yup BEST custom ever

The custom that really sticks with me was the "Wild Type Dorbel" that someone posted a while back. Who's was that?

it is mine now but I lost the painters info when my computer crashed. I would love to send him a bemon or goga.

Was it Neil Leadbeater ???

You're boring and dull with all the posturing and crap.
I'd rather debate and discuss with someone of some intelligence.
Look for someone else to feed your pathetic ego.

Now back to me versus the rest of the world...

you cant debate theMANIMAL can ya - beat it kid

I found it (gotta love the search feature) his name is Joe Dunaway.

here it the original post:

This whole debate is a bunch of poppycock (deluxe with artificial butter flavouring). Customs are fine no matter who does them, though some are certainly better than others.

Paint on, inspired customizers!!!

thanks TARO - im no pro but im having fun like one!

If it's the board I think you're thinking of, I think it was the quickest responses that got in. No elitism there.

This thread has taken a seriously wrong turn.

Seems as if serious questions get hi-jacked and it becomes a food fight.

But nobody's even mentioned Reuben sandwiches yet...

Thank god.

Oh man, I'd love to see that guy take a crack at a Goga.

I'm pretty sure we're thinking of two different things.

Ah, then don't mind me...

I agree that customizing a rare toy is a tough thing to do...

I am a RxH nutter, and when you look at some of the one-offs or very small run releases that Mori has done...the colorways look almost genius compared to some larger releases. When I look at certain customs...sometimes its almost like looking at a one-off from that toy company....which is fun.

A custom artist like PK, LASH, Kirkland...finish pieces that seem to almost scream for a separate release of their own sometimes....

So I think the bottomline for me is that as long as that customizer or artist has some skillz, then I am excited.

Sorry if this is boring!!!

You may think this is boring, but your notion of a "rare toy" is interesting to me. Any currently-produced sofubi toy, even those made by Bounty Hunter, Secret Base, Real Head, etc. are going to have production runs (at the very least) of at least 25 to 50, and all of those will be preserved by collectors who will never think of giving them away for free to someone who doesn't care about them, or dumping them in the garbage. Many of them probably won't even be removed from the package.

When I hear "rare toy," I think of something decades old, something that was made for kids, and more likely to be thrown out or given away by a parent when space is needed or children start growing up.

I see "rare" as something only the chaos of many years can impart on an item. I have a hard time applying it to an item that was mass-produced in 2007.

Not to derail, but this is the kind of thinking that led me to start seeking out and collecting cheap Japanese train-station/supermarket robot toys from the 80s. They're worth virtually nothing, but they are extremely hard to find.

I guess a better term in our case might be 'limited production.'
