I'm having visions of certain other message boards right now..

P5 - If you are so against hype, could you quit posting about your products for sale & remove all the e-retail links in your signature?

"Come on guys, don't fight over us"

"Want a hug prometheum?"

Do you feel blame? are you mad? do you feel like.....

I hope shig sees this and then gets inspired to make a Manson Nag.

Momentus post count.

ok, this is getting lame.

COOP obviously deserves these toys for the awesome artwork he did for Shig. No one should blame him for posting pictures of those Nags. But a little harsh to fireback on Ben for his resin toys. A bit like like Donald Trump slapping the homeless dude.

Ben, not getting the toys you want sucks. But complaining about toys that you don't want? who gives a fuck?

Prometheum is right - I'm just like Al Pacino in Scarface, except there's a big pile of Nags in front of me instead of cocaine.




FIRST YOU GET DE NAGS DEN YOU GET THE MONEY DEN YOU GET DE WOMEN!

coop, i didn't know you resembled bearded wil wheaton!

Fuck him - I NAZ MOR NAGS THAN WIL WHEATONZ !! MORE THAN PROMETHEUM TOO!!! SUFFER THOSE OF YOU WITH FEWER NAGZ!!! THIS IZ ME RUBBING IT IN!!!

yo COOP, is dat some bo0legged herman miller chair in the background?!

No, original Eames shell chair (I"M BRAGGING NOW)

HAHAHA I LIGHT MY CIGARZ WITH BEMONS

Fuck Bitches
Get Nags

immaright?

Exactly.

Fuck the world, don't ask me for nags, cuz everything you get you gotta work hard for it.

Ooooh! That yellow one is great!

So, I do see a point in what Prometeum says, but what I don't understand is why he's so upset with COOP. I would do the same (show them off) if I just had received them. Or after, whenever...

So what if there's all this hype around Nags? I don't think it's COOP's fault. Don't like a toy? Don't buy it. Also, I think all this flame against only contributes to the hype.

Such a great toy!

Gotta love the Shig-meister!

Those Rule Coop!
You're like Karen Black in "Don't be afraid of the dark"! They are going to drag your ass into the fireplace with that dirty $!
An extremely proper reward for your hard work!

That one on the right is awesome. Makes me wish I could afford a Nag...

Random thought about the toy:

I don't find them to be grotesque or nasty. Is there something wrong with me?

Hmmmm. If you don't think before saying something....well, its just fart.

COOP wins, on all counts. But do you need to pulverize him?

Both of these guys are great.

To defend Prometheum5 just a bit (I don't know him from jake but I can't help wanting to jump in when someone is getting pummeled), there are collectors here who are more reticient about posting some of their collection because they're afraid it may come across as gloating, bragging, what-have-you. I'm not saying that's what Coop is doing at all - he's been collecting long enough to not need to prove his legit passion - but others (and I include myself in that group) may choose not to show our toys b/c it can come off wrong. All I'm saying is that Prometheum5 does have a legit perspective that isn't necessarily based in jealousy.

As for myself and others, we recognize that collectors on this board represent a range of income levels - for some people, cost is no object when it comes to buying toys on secondary market. For others, just buying one $50.00 toy a month is a stretch. All I'm saying is that some people think about those things before they post what toys they've got. You're not wrong for posting what you've got as long as your intent isn't to rub peoples' noses in it.

What's more bothersome is the hypocrisy that exists on this board that if you're a favored artist you pretty much get a free pass to engage in behavior that a civilian would be savaged for (and in some cases have).

Hey, I like Coop's art and love his personal taste in stuff. Never met the dude but he sure seems like a decent bloke and I enjoy reading his posts and hopes he sticks around. But he definitely gets the star treatment 'round here. (never did understand why kozik was run-off the board; in my dealings with him he was always 100% stand-up).

FWIW.

Oh, yeah, the Nag. At first I really liked the sculpt but so much hype actually turns me off to a toy. Don't own any and haven't even tried to get one.

Yup!
