Beeting a dead horse...

opinions are like orgasms, and only mine matters =)

I was wondering when my appropriate criticism would turn into personal attacks and name calling. Retard, really?!

Just proves my point as to the direction of this message board.

I can care less if this Tolleson character is a nice guy, that wasn't and isn't the point. The point is that this toy does not belong here and is simply put a lump of crap. Others have pointed out (rightfully so) that it seems queer that someone who hasn't participated on these boards all of sudden claims to have been a "lurker" for ages and only now decided to post. Coincidentally with something to sell. Stolleboy is a troller and an opportunist. He (like many others) is what is wrong with this particular hobby. You've had twenty-something posts, and only a few of them where you make a comment in another thread, ALL directly related to you and what you produce.

Lack of detail: So you create something in the form of a root vegetable and you add a puerile expression, eyes, articulated accoutrements and a band-aid. Okay, I guess I stand corrected.

Lack of back story: A press release paragraph does not make a back story. Especially if you have to ask someone else to write it.

Lack of a creative paint application: Really people?! I count a half dozen of these releases since October of last year and the only one that was painted in more than one or two colors is the version by Nebulon 5. Can anyone on here (with a straight face) seriously tell me the paint application has been creative compared to say, I don't know PK, Blobpus, Koji...

Platform toy: Yeah, you bet. At least with other platform toys, the companies producing them seem to find some talent to apply their ideas onto them.

This character has worked with established kaiju/sofubi/vinyl stores and companies... so what. Because a handful of retail stores carry your product, that redeems you or your crappy attempt at a toy?

@ Tolleboy; you "roll your eyes and laugh" because you have no come back. You have no way to defend this turd trap, your reasons for producing it, and especially trying to sling it here. Wait... that's right, lucre.

@ David; You aren't really going to compare one of Doki's designs to this, are you?!

As for Skinner, he gets crapped on here all the time and called out for being opportunistic as well. He's not immune.

Comparing Rose Vampire to this, ding-ding-ding, thanks for driving my point home. And for the record, I think I've been pretty vocal about that toy and others coming out of the S7 caves.

Lastly, regarding the complete douche (JMRampage) who called me a retard. Since when is this okay on the boards? It's not that I can't take it. Bring it on little man. But this is a pretty derogatory and inflammatory term (as people have pointed out). And I'm not even remotely PC, but I feel this has crossed a line and this dude needs to get the boot. Furthermore, some of you work with this guy and should rethink it. Is this really the type of bigoted, low life twat you want to be associated with?

I could continue, but why...

Just sayin

I don't know, I think he fits just fine.

I get not liking it, I get critically discussing it. I don't get chasing it off and condemning it for not conforming to very personal and highly subjective standards. I don't understand what benefit could possibly come from chasing creators away, especially guys that are self-producing. I mean, what the fuck man, what joy could you possibly get by shitting all over someone's self-made work. You might not like the Beet, but who knows, the next thing that comes along could blow you away.

@Connell: Is there an interior designer/decorator equivalent for displaying toys? You should look into it as a full time job! Your displays make so many seemingly unrelated toys look so damn good together.

But it being a piece of crap? thats very much an opinion. Especially when theres certain vinyl that people love on here thats complete shit.

Funny you should ask. I actually have that job.

...

I only need to look at this vs. to understand why it's better to be open than closed-off.
