heh heh heh... lol'd, i did.

this. he could have easily made the head black too but he took it to the next level and added a little nod to a part of the story. i appreciate that. just my opinion, btw. don't no one get bent out of shape over it.

Every other toy maker does tributes, often the same ones over and over again based on pre-existing IP's from movies or shows or comics. What is up everyone's butt about this?

Changing the subject for a second…

Did anyone pick up one of D-Lux's Neo Hawaii Ojisans and change their mind? I'm REEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLY wanting one. Like, bad.

I don't believe they've been shipped yet so it'd be hard for someone who bought it to say whether they liked it or not. No worries James, you'll find one!

I didn't even see them go up for sale; I must be slackin' these days. I was hoping to snag an Oji to match his killer Cadaver Kid.

I've decided to abandon shame on this one and start begging early.

i was on a train when he was selling them and i had to go through three tunnels before the transaction finally went through! and then i totally forgot i bought one until now.

Well since you forgot you bought one, you probably never really wanted it. Sell it to meeeeeee!

^ okay, but who's going to sell him a blank ojisan? =p

Different words, same subject...

Seriously, I don't really think you can accuse Luke of "Cashing in" on anything. I haven't bought any GS toys yet, because I'm just not a fan of the sculpts (Maybe it's something you just have to get in hand to appreciate), but Luke is traveling down every road you can imagine with his toyline. He's taking chance after, chance, and painting them in a D. Vader color scheme, isn't going to make people want these guys anymore than they already do (which if you haven't realized by the 146 pages of this thread, is a whole lot).

Way to pick on something that's obvious, and pass by the small town biting, that's "actually" happening all over the toy world these days.

*Disclaimer ALIT's is welcome to his opinion as much as you and I are willing to disagree, I've always felt him to be a swell guy.

Re: Neo Hawaiis Blanks came in not too long ago. I hoped these would be out last week, but the whole fam got the flu, so im 2 weeks back, they just need clear and they will be shipped... thanks for your patience!

earth movement art show

why so uncritical???
i dont mind homages, great, but basing most colorways & toys on popular sought after designs by other artists
seems more like a lame marketing driven concept to secure high profits, rather than a coincidence.


good point. its toys, you can do what you want, its all about fun to come up
with fxxking awesome creations to blow collectors away.
why copy from someone else???

LOL, this place has become such a joke, blatant double standards and rancid negativity.

No kidding!

Who are you referring to with your "basing most colorways and toys" comment? I know it isn't Grody Shogun. 99% of Luke's color schemes have seemed pretty original to me. I like to see artists/ companies come up with original paint as much as the next guy. But, it's also nice to see some other influences come into play too. Shows a little of the artist's personal preferences and adds a little fun. Remember that thing fun?

That Boba Fett custom Monster is freaking awesome!!! (trying to divert the conversation back to toys)

Can't wait for my Grody head(s) to show up!

I can't wait for my freakin Mucky Monster to show up. I think these delays are a subtle nod to other companies who have had delays. So unoriginal.

looking forward to a tara mcpherson designer paint app along with last minute price hike and fake charity auction.

BOOM!

For the record... I hate people...

Also can't wait for Mucky, Army Man Monster, Heads, E Man...so many things will be coming at once!!

This joke never ever ever gets old.
