The paint looks fine on mine.

Have a few too many doubles tho.

Watched a dude in formt of me open a the Flying Holiday chase, so I grabbed one from teh same case and scored Crash - the pink shark! I was stoked! But still missing the Lava Teeter and Flyinh Holiday. Lots of 1 in 40 chase extras tho. Might put em together and sell as a lot on ebay to cover my costs on all teh dupes I bought.

VERY glad to see some people liking these figures. They are the only Western vinyl I have been seriously stoked on in ages!

For my part in the QA comments, there's nothing idiotic about testifying what is true and having an opinion about it. I and I assume others here know very well why some industries have to rely on overseas labor and Chinese manufacture because of our own lines of work and industry. Maybe it's "idiotic" to assume blindness.. Nobody expects perfection, especially kaiju appreciators who see the zen beauty of not-perfection, but in my observation KR's standards have declined, which hasn't always served JLed well. Whatever realities of manufacture or cost-cutting contribute to flawed product, the customer shouldn't necessarily be expected to know all that for forgiveness' sake. It's totally normal to hold a company accountable for the quality of what they sell. Nothing idiotic about it. To their credit, KR does have a disclaimer about QC at their Website, but there's nothing like that in their stores to warn customers who ask "how much is that Labbit in the window?"

I just really dont get the point of relentless 'KR/Western' bashing.

if you dont like it, wht ever talka bout it?

I personally have a deep dislike of many products and companies, but so no need to
talk about it, I simply dont shop there or utilize their products or watch their entertainment.

does constantly bashing a related product somehow enhance the worth you think you assume by consuming a similia product/

its totally idiotic.

example: I like barbeque. I dislike Arby's fake barbq. I never eat there. Now, if this was a forum about BBqing, why in the hell would I kep talking about Arby's all the time?

its fucking weird. Kidrobot makes and sells lots of toys and clothes. They are 'successfull'. They are in no way even trying to 'compete' with the japanese made toys you collect, theres ZERO crossover except wehn YOU bring up the subject.

No one at Kidrobot knows or cares about like...RxH. Why should Rxh care about Kidrobot?

why do you all have such a raging hardon about this shit? Its essentially meaningless.

Man-I remember when Arbys had a real roast beef hanging by a chain rotating and slow cooking in a glass cube and they would take it out and slice you some for your sandwich! It was so good.

So what is that Akumabomb thing? Is she like Gaiking's mistress?

Frank you're assuming something was knee-jerk when it wasn't such a big deal at all. Also you seem to be reacting to things that weren't even said or meant. Weird.

I wasn't hating.. I've just never got his style.
If you want to run a business though, don't sell your customers KRap.

Thanks for your input, god.
Start your own KR bashing free board I guess.
It can be super gay.

If you had any idea what I was talking about and not attacking me you would be super cool.
Franks been throwing gay around all day on the board. Thus my usage of it in this thread and another.
Wise up before being a smart ass.

Fair enough Frank but that's not what this was. I'm not a knee-jerk KR-hater and that's not where the crits were coming from. Just sayin'. Sometimes criticisms come from "this could be better" thoughts and not just "hate something because it's obligatory in this scene." Anyway peace out and all that good stuff.

True to all of this. xoco was just saying he didn't care for the JLed crap, not KR crap in general. Personally, even when I was into Western vinyl, I never cared for JLed. His style is obviously all his own but not something that I care for in the slightest.

Everyone is free to voice their opinions, whether good or bad. Just like many people hate KR and everything they stand for, Frank likes them, likes to point out that he likes them and none of this will ever change.
