What do you guys think of the pushead custom paints ?

Where those part of the white flock edition or where those accounted for themselves ?

Aren't there like 500 of the horror skullwings? Seems like plenty to go around for an occasional custom...

I don't know but I'm trying to make him aware these are not d u n n i e s or anything related and this forum is not a shadow of the kiddie robot board.This is mainly a collectors site and i'm sure nobody here wants to see all kinds of SB turning into customs..don't forget LASH you're cool shit in my book and don't want to see you get ostracized for stuff like this..BTW I've had 4 other members IM me about this fig w/some not so good responses so this is absolutely a shared opinion of at least 5 of us here..Keep on collecting bro and i don't harbor any grudge for this piece just wanted to make you aware there is a level of angst developing about cutomizing SB pieces-John

i like it

customizing these figs will always be a hot issue. as a customizer, i dig it. as a collector, i can see where everyone is coming from.,,,but also as a collector i want to own this one cuz it is cool

i am in the process of destroying some very rare western vinyl pieces(no...not d u n n i e s or any of that crap). once people see them and which ones they are, i am prepared for the shit storm in my direction as well

to be clear (and this whole thing blows) i was just expressing my own opinion earlier.

ugh?

With respect to John, Jackie and all SB hardcore fans and otherwise, I am currently having a Skullwing customized. This is to be the one and only custom skullwing in my collection as I have decided to no longer chase a hand painted Pus. I'm not taking this lightly and would use a "blank" if available any time.
This will be a cherished permanent addition to my collection by a very worthy artist. And there is no disrespect intended.

YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe
(btw, in never said i was against it, just torn)


message boards rock? and kind of stink too!

Not trying to trash LASH but theres a new influx of peeps that are accustomed toa different way..Do you really want 20-50 people coming from KR and diving head first into customizing SB.Maybe now but wait until its a figure you've been looking for ,for a year!!The worst part is they are small runs to begin with and this kind of thing makes them even smaller..BTW I already have a white Horror wing coming but maybe some peeps out there will never get one because you can't reverse a paint job..Oh yeah and like i said LASH is my friend and have been PMing and chatting w/him for a long time..

Wasn't making a stand either way. Lash can speak for himself.
I would never want to see peeps going custom crazy on any SB figs. Just wanted to be honest with y'all and let know what I was up to and why.

HAHAH-I had a feeling i didnt write that properly..Prolly sounded like a nasty one but i totally didnt mean it that way..It's just hard enough to get these guys w/out having to battle a whole new influx of peeps customizing now!!Tell you what loco-send me your wings and i'll keep em safe for you-lol

-hahaha!!!

John this isn't aimed just toward you or even in hatefull way peroid just sharing my opinion much love buddy

I understand where everyone is coming form ....BUT..... please dont stick me in the catagory of just a KR artist.

I respect my art more than that ..... I'm in art college studying my ass off paying a grip for my education. So I appreciate these toys in a much deeper way then some may think.

I did that skullwing for my own personal collection NOT to sell or get fame or to make a quick buck.... and god knows I'm a broke mofo because all I make I buy toys with

DAMN you BxH !!!

Would it have been better if say a more famous artist hand painted a skullwing or any either SB figure ?? would KAWS get any negitive feedback...

What I'm saying is I LOVE JP vinyl and dont plan on destroying this brand. I collect them as well and I guess this is a way to show how much I care. I spent many hours in a basement pouring my heart into this.

Shit I've had a sinus infection for 3 weeks now and havent been able to do anywork , but NEEDED to get this out of my system.

I respect everyone here and these figures !!!! so anyone who does not know me please understand I'm not trying to fuck this up.

Also I never knew that this was frowned upon... there is even a customs section here... maybe it should be removed to not incourgae other to make my mistake.

I hope you all can forgive me .... and again I menat NO disrespect !

If I ever buy a rare figure off you you wont have to worry its gonna get painted, it will go to my collection

I LOVE these boards !!! and dont want to cause any friction in any of your eyes. I want to post my love for JP vinyl here as well. So from here on out you wont see anymore SB customs ........except when comissioned and they will have to show you if they feel the need.

Peace
LASH

I still think it looks cool.

I think it looks pretty dope personally. I'm stoked about the skullbee Lash, did you ever get it?

Fresh PM sent

WOW!!!!!!!!! I can't believe that you feel you have to apologise LASH!!!!!! Do you want to do!!!!!! you did a really good job man!!!!!! I also can't belive people are PMing each other about this, it is kinda starting to sound like the KR board IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I respect this board very much and dont want to have people disliking me because I used a SB or other JP vinyl for my customs..

I really want to keep rocking SB cutoms but not if that means being ostracized.

I guess only time will tell.

Yeah, I don't get it... people liked the customized King Skull Bee... I don't get it...

I think its because most people don't really care much for the king bee (might be wrong though). So any customising might be seen as an improvement.

well it looks like i am the only dissenter.
put a huge sign on me "big turd"

i am NOT against customs. i have a funny feeling i might need to say that til i'm blue in the face.

and i have to agree with what parka said about the King skull bee.

Did you forget where you were? A huge sign that says Unchi Kun!

No need to explain yourself Jackie, it's all good. Everybody has an opinion and unlike KR we can have a civilized discussion over it. No personal attacks or name calling just everybodies point of view, all valid points too by the way.

Yes sir

I still love you jackie ya big Unchi kun

LASH, bro-I absolutely didn't mean to group you into the kR kiddies category or any for that matter..My concern is all the actual Kiddies will follow and this will become another problem/issue for everyone trying everything to get these hard and harder to find figs.Its exhausting for those of us that don't have friends taht live in Japan and ship boxes of stuff to us on a regular basis and its exhausting having to constantly hustle to even find these figs let alone actually win them or be the person that gets the deal...Its definitely your figure to do what you want and FYI for everyone i love Lashes work so much that i'm going to use his art on my new Harleys gas tank..Just venting concern that this will cascade into a problem!!-John

well damn...i guess i shouldn't have painted my all black ghostfigher, huh?
