Each one has different textures and different looks to them. It has that amazing Grody look and vibe to them, while sticking to the look of Fergs artwork. I heard there is 4 different brain tops and 4 different brain bottoms so it is difficult to have every single one.

Sorry, my ramblings were more directed at why every type of toy is not welcome here and not about whether I feel this toy is outside those walls. Personally this is way too platform for me. My thoughts on S7 MF is that while they are certainly more western than most of what is here their personality is sculpted into the toys. Despite not being as texture heavy they are not designed to be texture free canvases to sculpt and paint on top of (mummy boy and gator are probably the least textured of course). These being here doesn't bother me but they do ride the fence I would say. The only concern I would have is what gets posted next that these become the excuse for. Either way, not up to me. Love life, enjoy toys... Or don't.

For the record I am not a fan of these at all, but it would be great if this forum had a bumpy ugly section to contain the rage of those who hate smooth sculpts.
I don't see anyone telling Aya that Uamou toys need more texture ::shrug::

While others may, I personally do not hate smooth sculpts -- I have plenty of toys that don't have forty different textures on them. This thing just looks like another boring KR blind boxed zipper pull all-over-print tall tee waiting to happen. Except it's got clear and glitter infused Japanese vinyl. Can people really not see that? Yes, everyone should like what they are drawn to, that's wonderful, I'm one hundred percent all for that. No one should feel ashamed for what they like. That's not the point that is being made here -- It's what does and does not belong on skullbrain. But it's become clear that it's increasingly difficult for a lot of people to comprehend that. Whatever. I will stop shitting in the collective Cheerios now. At least some people get it. I completly understand your position, but be more clear: what belongs here and why does this not?? I think the point made above about the uamou is a great analogy. i dont see a difference between the young gohst, a pocket mummy or a uamou: cute, simple small sculpts in traditional j vinyl that def fall outside of the word "kaiju" The american idols thread sub heading even reads: "kaws, kozik, le merde...'art toys'" From what im deducting from your comments, none of that belongs on your SB.... I just dont see where the lines are drawn, i know there are "unspoken" rules here and im still new but how are we supposed to know. For what i can see these belong here as long as its j vinyl and is under the american idols thread...

... At least some people get it. sorry if your glorious 2007 skullbrain has evolved into a charizard. I am sure the old school crew back then moaned just as loud while being equally hypocritical.

Does this really need to devolve into personal attacks? I don't think there is anything wrong with discussing what is appropriate for our community here. S7 owns the board, the mods keep an eye on things but it is the people here who make it what it is. Since most everyone seems to agree this is not a place for dumneys, nothing wrong with questioning how close is too close.

I am not condemning anyone specifically for having an opinion, but leave policing this board to the moderators.

 Re: Ferg x Grody Shogun: Young Gohst Subscription! Avail. 4/
Well, I've been lurking these boards way before my account got activated, got to see and get an understanding for what should be ok and not in this community, that and I agree with the whole "Megadeth doesn't belong in a Norwegian Black Metal Forum" because its true. In the same sense people dont talk about dummys here, why should they bring in other producers that just because they are in Asia can get a pass? Doubtful. I'm active in the CAD forum, and I feel that Ferg has it there so we can all go shoot our crap there about his toys and projects and not go to other boards and try to change those and influence them with our other designers that have their own boards specifically for that purpose. Also, if there are 20 million of sculpts of godzilla and 30 more of all the variants of zags, it is only because people buy them and cherish the workmanship put into them, which is not something that can be said of a lot of mass-produced, big-toy-store with retail in the biggest cities in the world. Some are attracted to quality and others to design, some like a bit of both, I tend to buy what I like and when I dont like it, I go and tell it at the source or if I do, praise it at the source. And its not about posting whatever the fuck you want, have manners. Be civilized. I havent started a grind/gore metal thread for the same reason.

i think there is a lot to be said about a number of above posts but it seems we have maybe all come to a better understanding (?) and we can let things lie...for now. but i do believe SB IS a place to say wtf you want!

I guess the ferg toy has sculptural shit in the brain but that's just an accessory as far as I'm concerned. for a toy that is basically a copy of any other platform toy. some think of s7 MF toys as "designer". I guess they are if you need to call them something. but they sure arent platforms. They are designed by artists that have fully thought out a character that has parts that are specific to that character. rv has leaf arms and feet and a rose head with his own specific face. all fully sculpted out using sofubi sculpting techniques. (eg. how the grooves are done ,the way things are rounded etc.) and while following the "rules" of MF look. not china vinyl looking sculpts at all. I think there is a major difference in the look of western sculpts.
