 Re: A kozik comeback ?
I've got no problem with Frank or how he feels about making money. Some of his products have had slightly iffy QC...and absolutely horrendous release schedules (Coral Sea? yikes).
I just don't like the double standard that says someone like NagNagNag's cool...but somehow Frank isn't.

 Re: A kozik comeback ?
Has nagnagnag made their own appearance on the board to hype their product? If so I'm not aware, I never did buy that hype.

I just don't like the double standard that says someone like NagNagNag's cool...but somehow Frank isn't. you're comparing apples and oranges here. One argument is based on money and trying to make as much as possible off of a "scene" and then moving on to the next big thing; and the other is just a hyped toy that has nothing to do with skullbrain at all. I'd be curious if mori saw any of the money from those "custom" giant evils sold at his la show last year. Didn't those sell for like 2 grand there? Edit... $3500 for the giant evil http://billyshirefinearts.com/09kozik/A ... utant.htmland I don't care if the wahmbulance comes out, it's my opinion. (if they had an agreement before, whatever, I'm just making note of it here)

 Re: A kozik comeback ?
frank has friends here still, even if we don't buy the stuff he makes nowadays. he gave me a ride once because it was cold and drizzling. that SUV had three wiper blades on the windshield. THREE! thats the power of art, it can buy you a sick truck.
frank couldn't help himself from arguing with other members here. i liked that. it seems most artists are too wary of stepping on some toes and keep their opinions to themselves when signed on to skullbrain. i understand if you work for super7 that you have to keep a clean nose for the most part (though alex and glenn still put in the occassional snide and aggressive rebuke).
when kozik was an active member here, he didn't hold himself as any authority or privileged person. he was just another shitkicker like the rest of us.

 Re: A kozik comeback ?
I'm not all that crazy about what he does with toys, but I do miss Frank's smarts and his value as someone on the inside track.

 Re: A kozik comeback ?
No, no naysayers, everyone must kiss everyones ass... Or at least the ass of "artists" or people they think can hook them up some how. useless toys wrote: uberboy wrote: frank has friends here still, even if we don't buy the stuff he makes nowadays. he gave me a ride once because it was cold and drizzling. that SUV had three wiper blades on the windshield.

 Re: A kozik comeback ?
Frank himself never considered himself an artist, he's stated that on more than one occasion. He's stated elsewhere about seeing the future collapse of the toy scene and moving on. I liked bantering with him, but when the money well dried up he was gone. He is great self promoter for sure. LamourSupreme wrote: what the hell happened to cesar? i want him back too. Cesar was mainly here because of his bro Ramos.
