Whoops! :oops:
Please allow me to clarify that I am not selling or trading my Butanohana figures. Butas and vintage Kaijus are what I'm focusing my toy collection on for now. I AM open to adopting MORE Butas though :wink:


It was in no way directed at you. Grace you seem to give away more toys than you sell :wink:

Unlike most collector's, MIB doesn't really have much value for skullbrainers. Most want the header & the bag included, but as long as the toy is in great shape, having it previously open doesn't seem to affect the 'value'.

I don't want to upset any female boardies, I almost didn't post that comment, but I showed it to my GF and she thought it was funny so I went ahead. I'm not misogynistic, I value the perspective female members bring to Skullbrain.
In my mind, a twisted panties or tampon joke and a third leg joke, are pretty much in the same bucket. Yeah I get that a third leg penis joke wouldn't be likely identified as misogynistic, but it's all basically just low sexual penis humor right? So would a comment like that be appreciated by female boardies?


i was actually trying to soften my comment by those jokes i made. i was trying to get at the idea that you can make dirty jokes without having to say something as visceral and gross as vagisil/yeast infections or tampon-inserting. i have two female friends that joined awhile back and just watch and don't post because of some of the stuff like this. i like you joe, i didn't want to come off as a jerk. i called sumatra71 out for a "blood-stained" panties comment awhile back too. i almost didn't post my comment because i don't really like telling people what they should do. its none of my business what you say, but as a member of the community i feel there is a line that moves from funny to vulgar (in the classic sense of the definition). here's the thing: i've had two women boardmembers already PM me thanking me for speaking up about it. (I know! who knew we had even two women on the board? just kidding, i know about ten)

anyway, don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill any more than i already have. i'm sure you aren't really mysoginistic and your girlfriend may not have been offended. i wasn't offended, just annoyed and not really just at you but it was the whole inserting tampon thing that got kind of degrading in my mind.

hope we're on the up and up and cool about this. i'll edit my post if you want.
peace- slim

I think my comment was possibly misconstrued or misunderstood at the time..

I was trying to convey that some guys might turn into a little biznatch about me posting a live auction.. hence the bloody bitchy whiney rant that may or may not have followed depending on which way the thread decided to turn...

water under the bridge... back to smokin' my snap crackle pop

If I was the straw that broke the camels back, well I'm glad you spoke up and didn't ignore it just because it came from me. No need to edit your post. I thought about editing mine as well, but I'd rather people be able to read the chain, maybe it will keep similar comments off the board in the future.
We're cool my resonator brother.
