Wow you really like to hear yourself talk I bet Art Whore. Clearly the connection is: I blog about shit for a living, so I'm going to come here and make this an extension to my social network universe. Guess what? No one gives a flying fuck. SB isn't your personal blog.

^^^^
BAM! JUST so you know man, i blog for fun. NO $$$ made by me at all. And i like to hear artists talk! My own voice? Meh...

And why do i blog? To get info about art i like - subjectively, i'm NOT putting myself up as any sort of objective taste guardian - from the artist's themselves. That's it.

i dont like anything about the figure in resin or let alone vinyl. With that being said, lixx youre just a douche bag and im not sticking up for anybody on the computer. but he started the thread just stay out of it. no reason for a god complex(maybe you know something about section 8 being from buffalo). and i dont wanna hear the thick skin shit around here.

I don't think Chris was suggesting you got paid for typing.

I shouldn't be but I'm actually surprised it was posted on sb.. The eight ball makes no sense. Zero sense. If it was a homage to the occulus orbus popper MINUS the eight ball.. I would sort of get it but it seems completely contrived.

?
Someone doesn't like a toy..they have a god complex?

ALSO


Joe worked and works his ass off. I don't collect Splurrt but I've ultimately come to respect what the man does. His toys in my opinion are unique and are of his own vision. I don't think I've ever looked at one of his toys and thought that they were contrived or a direct rip off of something else. However THIS toy does.

I live in Buffalo (in a very nice neighborhood I might add) but I'm not originally from Buffalo but thanks for trying to hurl petty insults at me "Rybeat nuts I have 29 posts whatever your dumb name is"! I've actually lived in Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, NJ, and Brooklyn as well as travelled to South America, Europe, etc...Where have you gone in your life besides your Mom's basement? I don't have a god complex just have strong opinions. I know you just signed up just last year, but if you were here even just a few years ago this kind of stuff would not fly. Everyone here is just too PC anymore to voice it.

Also if you're not sticking up for someone why did you bother typing?

And yes as Bryce stated I never suggested Art Whore got paid for typing.

buffalo isnt a bad spot, im sure i live in way more of the hood then you. i added god complex in there for a mid 90s hardcore band. scope them out , they were from upstae NY.ive been a collector longer the 29 post. just thought u were being a dick for no reason thats all.

Bryce, i didnt mean it like that.. everyone on SB has a god complex or no to pussy fuck

Art-Whore, if you haven't already, man, and that is if you're still spreading the word or interested in others' thoughts about this figure, I'd seek the opinions of the KR forum, as I think they'd be more interested.

^^^^
NOT a Kid Robot fan at all... The closest i get is liking Suckadelic stuff...

Actually value the opinions of people on SB: hate or love. It's all cool...

AND - just so it's public:


'for a living
[of work] done to earn enough money to live. John paints houses for a living. What do you do for a living?'

(from - http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/for+a+living )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQL7iM06I84 no idea how to fully post vids but enjoy this shhhhhhhhhhhh giiiaaaaa

I like the figure. I thought it was cool a couple of years ago when John first showed the WIP sculpt on these boards. In fairness, I am internet friends with Mr. Santagada and probably would be predisposed to support most of his efforts, but I'm particularly fond of this because of the chunky proportions and the "ready for battle"-sort of pose.
I'll be perfectly honest in stating that I am a fan of toys in general, and may not have anything that approaches the encyclopedic knowledge of sofubi or kaiju that many on this board have. So, if this guy doesn't specifically fit within certain aesthetic parameters that have been set for modern "fight figures", fair enough. I'd actually be really interested in hearing what people think should have been done differently.
At the end of the day, I just want one of these things.

Obviously you still can't read between the lines. Bryce got it, and I've already told you what I meant so you can stop trying to misconstrue it. Here let's re-read what I actually said:



Yes maybe I should have left out 'for a living' but in the context of the above statement clearly you can see what I meant. Why would I also say 'extension of social network universe' immediately afterwards? I'm done arguing. Regardless of what you want to try to twist this into, I still hold to my original statement. SB is not your blog extension.

....'MonsterIsland' is in the progress of painting a resin for the Kickstarter. NO penis hands, NO 8-Ball:

Great to see the thread getting back on track!! Nice post Art Whore more toys! It's what most of us are here for

Here is a custom one I made for the Kickstarter. Was a ton of fun to paint and I can't wait to get more in vinyl! I especially liked how the matte body played off the wet fleshy parts on this (at least my interpertation) hahaha.

^^^^
...looks great! Love the hair details man.

I certainly won't touch on any of the aesthetic issues being debated, but I just don't get why this wasn't posted in the resin section... All of the examples shown thus far have been resin or painted resin. There is a good reason why that section of the board exists! I'd think this thread would be best off if moved over yonder area.

Otherwise - carry on -_-b

^^^
...in the 'American Idols' section cause of the immanent release in vinyl. The resins displayed are all incentives for the Kickstarter-vinyl-release.

Feel free to move it though mods if that is appropriate!
