Well put, BD. I don't think there's much relief in terms of hype/static coming anytime soon. Releases lately have been very cool. Bright colored vinyl, rub paint techniques, bubble vinyl and paint sprays continue to rock (yellow Jinja excluded).....all of which continue to attract more fans. I think that even Hone Borg might be getting some play....


Mark my words, hone borg will be a huge success.

it isn't really Hype it is more like Hysteria.

Hype would involve S7 or RxH intentionally hyping the toys. At this point we are almost doing the opposite to keep our server from crashing and people from losing their shit on the phone.

I agree with Pogue. All the hype, if any, seems to come only from the fans love and excitement for the toys.

Hype is created by this spot in internetlands.
If this place or ebaze or yjack were never around, the hype would never exist.

Speaking for myself, I collect or drool over a dozen or more toy companies.
I will never be focused solely on one company and profess that everything that they produce is golden. Not gonna happen.

With that being said, I will state how I feel about certain releases from whatever company. Hopefully in an articulate way or not a calling it a POS. Companies and fanboys should take it as constructive criticism.

This isn't directed at anyone, I just thought I would look up the word "elite".

elite |əˈlēt; āˈlēt|
noun
1 a group of people considered to be the best in a particular society or category, esp. because of their power, talent, or wealth : China's educated elite | [as adj. ] an elite combat force.

Charactics has done no wrong.

Think I can FIX that definition:

elite (noun)

1. A group of people considered to be the best in a particular society or category,
although often only by themselves.

And let's not forget 'Elitism':

elitism (noun)

1. The belief that a society or system should be run by an elite.
2. The superior attitude or behaviour associated with an elite.

Now, 'Fanboy' ... that kinda bites.

So, who you callin' "boy", boy?

:mrgreen:

lol, I just knew you where gonna say that !

I had to post info after the releases to try and keep some harmony. But in the end it didn't make a difference.

Also when I started the site the releases where released so that I could keep up. But now it would be like a full time job. I do miss it though, so maybe one day I can restart it back up and just post what I like. Maybe next year.

actually i thought some seasoned collectors are already getting jaded with these stuff although i think the real fan base is still pretty smallish.
