Here's a post-NYCC gem: Love my (new exclusive blahblahblah) so much I'm willing to sell at the right price Homeboy's prob a member or lurker here since that IG profile vanished after this thread started. Or maybe his wannabe-dolphin buddy tipped him off... Need I say more?
He's part of that whole crew of flippers, but don't call us flippers crew. They were commenting on his douche pics. Douche.
that guy most likely uses dental floss, expensive cologne & shaves his junk. so would you buy a toy from him? if so you are the same in every way. it amazes me that this "hyped" culture is hands down as complicated as it is totally absurd with ususal suspects always appearing synthetic as robots in search of loot....... they seem to be so brainless. someone really should try to infiltrate this "flipper" network & film a docu-drama calling it....... TOY PIMPS i want to see active collectors obtain what they want but who really buys from these dudes?
Wait that's a dude? I thought that was a butch lesbian (not that there's anything wrong with being a butch lesbian). OK I'm doing that thing Peter Griffin does where he quietly backs away lol.
Haha wow Lixx, easy mistake? Toy Pimps would be awesome, but we run the risk of truly losing one of our own to those sank jobs.
I use dental floss... I don't like going through the whole dentist-guilt-tripping-you-the-whole-time-she's-cleaning-your-teeth thing every year. Anyway... guys like this don't just disappear from IG. They make a new account, and since he loves plastering his face all over his account, he'll be back and identifiable before we know it. Hopefully a few toy makers will refuse to sell to this toolbag from now on and we can all have a good chuckle knowing he's not making a quick buck.
thin mints? nothing but fans themselves can change this phenomenon. PK, MVH, SPLURRT/ST & MW are all super cool dudes who love what they do and any real fan of their products never gets left out in the cold for long. However as it stands the only folks getting hurt by this are new uninformed fans who besides buying a "new" toy also bought "hype" ps. nothing wrong with junk shaving- for the right price! tho ultimately it would depend really on the size of the boat? pss. i use shards of broken bones to floss, it just works better
hey hey hey leave the apples out of this! an old witch told me once, when in doubt use blood worm majiK
Money + desperation to own <inserthottoyhere> = I'LL BUY IT AT A HIGH PRICE! Had to insert some RE there.
Not knocking on the custom slugbeard at all. Because it is very nice. But the terminology 1 off or exclusive on a custom toy really bugs me. I don't think it should be labeled a one off unless painted by the maker of said toy. I feel a lot of collectors aren't educated and they read that and think it's an official release by the maker.
I think he intentionally left out that it wasn't specifically painted by Paul for the sake of the listing, much like he left out Rich didn't paint the Toxigon he's flipping. If people weren't there to see it and don't know who it was painted by, they'll just assume. I just wanna throw it out there that I think Griz painted them both, and they looked great in hand at NYCC.
I sent him a question on ebay asking if he could tell me who painted the Toxigon. He did say Grizz, i didnt push any further.
