    I mean, you’re not wrong. It just a bunch of colors mixed up.
    And oh god I didn’t notice that there were multiple photos, I hate it even more now

    Also… you think that’s acrylic paint? Not that I have a problem with acrylic paint itself, but acrylic on sofubi just feels weird.

    I definitely can understand why people would not like it, and why still others might call it fugly, but I can easily get behind that Godesu actually. Hook me up with one and I will be very grateful and happy lad; I am down for some fun and funk anytime. :thumbsup:

    And, without calling out any other artists on here, you attach another 'name' to this toy and suddenly whole crowds of 'fans' are coming out of the woodwork, banging down the metaphorical PM door and throwing up prayer hands like it is end times, climbing over each other just to drop $$$$$ on a piece of vinyl. #justsayin

    Again, its looks like an artist imposing their 'style' onto a toy with no regard for the toy itself. Its a fundamental problem with custom paint in general IMO.

    The toy is made secondary to the paint, which is insulting to the toy maker. It should enhance the toy, not distract from it.

    Again, fully agree with this. ^^ The application of this paint is completely disparate to the normal/traditional ways of sofubi decoration. Whether this sort of experiment is bad or not is as old a debate as 'what is art?'

    To clarify why I posted it: to me the Godesu canvas is perfect (I have one), but the paint job is an insult to it.

    I never heard it before but now it's stuck in my head too. You've gotten your revenge now. ;P

    You totally just kicked my day off man... Also If you were a pot of coffee you would be 20 scoops, in an 8 scoop pot.. I've always loved that about you lol.
    I've always been a cutesy kind of guy, but these days, I'm way into Fight Figures for some reason... Rat Fink is out, Secret Base is in. (although TBH I do love some Fink).

    This is a [hard earned] lesson best learned early on in this thread. It really needs to come with a prescription warning label, as it is incredible dosage-dependent. Too much of looking at this can, and will, lead to very serious side effect(s).

    I don't really have as strong of an opinion on most of the stuff in this thread as others here, but this one hurts my heart a bit. I'd love to have one of these; every release from Spectrum Lab has been beautiful. I'm too green to really say, but to me all of their stuff seems like a modern classic.

    As xSuicide Squadx said, I can appreciate what they were doing with the toy combined with the backdrop, but oof. There are so many other toys that could have been used for this project.

    Other than the overtly sexualized message here I actually like where this could have gone a lot. Would have made a great traditional mermaid, or even just a different take keeping the two tails that split at the waist instead of keeping the pelvis.

    There is a part of me that still chuckles at the idea though. I just like to keep the sex and toys separate for the most part. Sunguts has some pretty rad sexual / fetish stuff, but it's geared that way from the get. As I type out loud I guess it's just splitting hairs.

    Me? I hope it’s me! None of their toys have ever appealed to me so it doesn’t affect me lol
