Guys dont generaly appreciate crystals. Naturally. Its not manly. When girls come over its always the toys they go gaga over though. Especially since they dont know that toys have rules. I actually do like crystal, and have quite a bit of Waterford and Orrefors crystal in my home as a matter of fact. I personally don't think it fits with the character at all. It might be your thing, but when I think of evils I think of...evil. Crystals just don't work on these types of figures in my opinion. If it's your thing that's fine, but you're right..you're going to get a lot of criticism about it.

Well this should get the 5 year old girl crowd interested in Japanese toys.

 Re: RxH vs Swarovski
my problem isn't the crystals or that it isn't standard kaiju fare or whatever
the placement of them in general is obvious and boring; that is my critique
i don't really like rxh much at all, but this goes beyond my opinion of the figure itself.
i'll be the first to cut down myself, but at the same time i dont think my perceptions about aesthetics and the such are limited. it's cool you like it and cool that you wnt to do something different, but if i gave a bag of crystals to 100 people with this toy, probably 90 of them would stick them on in about the same places

 Re: RxH vs Swarovski
the crystals would look better if they were judiciously applied around a paint scheme. on the white is boring.

Not bashing YOU or your ex, but like everyone said, doesn't work. There's no rules to toys, no box or anything. BUT if they suck, they suck. Just my opinion, no hard feelings. Again, I appreciate you used a Solid instead of a production piece. ALSO plenty of guys appreciate crystals, but they call it "bling" and slap em' in their teeth.

 Re: RxH vs Swarovski
i'd like to see your ex-gf paint the entire figure with rhinestones.
kinda like the kiddies do with cell phones at the mall.
that would be cool and much more interesting.

that would be cool and much more interesting. I saw a Takeyama slug figure where they did just that, and it was pretty cool. The idea of a slug being completely and totally covered in crystal from top to bottom actually sort of worked. But as for now I'm just waiting for the eventual RxH x Hello Kitty collaboration to float on down...

I think it rules! Keep up the good work. I think this is exactly what the solid line was made to encourage.

 Re: RxH vs Swarovski
Doesn't really bother me, I can almost see a sort of 70's-infomercial look (What was the name of that contraption on late-night ads to put studs and rhinestones on everything? And why do so many round-ish grandmotherly types seem to love sweatshirts with crystals on them?)
My sis once covered an old mounted/taxidermied dolphin (the fish, aka mahi-mahi, not the mammal like Flipper) completely with crystals as an art project, it looked great - Somehow it came out quite spooky and alien.
