    I like it, and I don't care. I don't understand though, were the pickle series on time when he said they'd be? I know the dream packs and skatedecks have been forever and a day since they were paid for, but what about the other rxh?

    so "forever and a day" is equal to three years and counting?

    Why are you still counting? Frank ended them like 8-10 months ago. He refunded everyone's money and moved on.

    I'm changing my boardname in protest of the failure to deliver Carl's skatedeck.

    Until Carl receives his skatedeck this will be my new board name (or until I forget). I suggest others follow suit.

    Deliver unto Carl his skatedeck! _ Krudler

    I've stayed away from this thread - but when I saw that HMS had said something I had to check, so here I am and I can't keep my mouth shut. I've tried to be good and lay off my criticism of Frank's work, but shit. This and all his other "kaiju" look like fucking crap. The colors are horrible and the paint application is so heavy-handed - nothing subtle or nuanced at all like we see with truly great kaiju paint applications. Fucking disaster. I can't believe Mori let's him do this.
    Also, why does Frank get to come in and pimp his wares without any flak while some other dude selling lame lamps does the same thing and gets shat all over? I'm not saying that custom-lamp-dude shouldn't be shat on, just that shit should be given to ALL people that come here merely to sell their crap. He hasn't been a contributing member for quite some time now.

    yes he does.

    I also know that Frank has ordered, and paid, for the coral sea chaos but the figures haven't been delivered. The RxH factory is a little behind schedule at this point.

    He makes Mori look SO damn good :lol: . I like the pickles (except the chaos), but from the picture don't care for this much.

    If you or someone else didn't get a refund for their deck yet, it's your own fault. Frank has offered a refund already for them. Now the validity of ever completing them, that's probably not going to happen. But your money isn't lost on them, and as I stated they were refunded already.

    Better yet, don't take it anywhere. It's a dead topic. If you want to address it, call Frank directly. No one is going to satisfy you except him...

    End of my involvement in this. Sorry to sidetrack this a bit.

    the explanation no one cares about:


    1. all my projects are backlogged. its been a complicated year.

    your mutants are done:

    [​IMG]

    I will be printing out the orders tonight, packing them tommorrow and take em to the post office saturday or monday.

    my apologies for lateness on these, it was a combination of factors, that dont mean shit to anyone.

    now, as far as the CHAOS figures.

    well...heres what has gone down:

    the 'trusted middleman' that has handled all of these transactions between myself and Mori basically took my payments for these and the chaos figures and dissapeared. Mori, who had no idea what happenned, has not and cannot make the Chaos figures until I pay for them a second time, and that is not possible until August, so the other 3 figures in this set will be delayed. No one has had any luck getting the dude to respond, so...fuck it...I am outing the deal.I also will probably have to pay for the Mutants again as well. its a pretty big hit, financially.

    Im also out on paint, so I have to figure out where to get that now.

    in the future, i will be dealing with Mori directly, as far as I know, so once all this shit is figured out the last 2 guys ought to go smoothly.

    all in all its pretty fucked up, but it will get corrected. Hopefully in August, if sales are good at sdcc, which they usually are.

    on a happier note, alls smooth with the belchors, bigazzes and giant evils, and they are actually like 1 month or so ahead of schedule. I will be meeting rommel at sdcc to finalize the manila-us ship date, which should be in august.

    sky devilers are about done, they should go out right before sdcc.

    in light of whats gone down, this set of rxh and the sky devilers will probably be the last non directly produced kaiju I will be offering. I will still offer new wonderwall made stuff ( salaris and beyond) and the rommel made stuff, as those systems are working.

    due to the situation, I cannot offer refunds, so dont ask.

    btw the 'flipper' lives in san jose, and is a subscriber and they drive up to get the stuff, which is why they have theirs. any other bay area peeps can do the same.

    as far as 'my paints make mori look bad'...well, he seems to like them well enough, I will leave it at that.

    all I know is I have really tried to offer you guys cool shit direct, at a reasonable price, and over-all its all gone smooth until this, so if you cant deal with it, well, thats that.

    and,on a personal side note...another fact is that the constant crap from a handful of douches did sort of suck the fun and energy out of this and related projects for me. I was personally excited,but after a whil people like NT ad Liquidsky really start to take the fun out of it, and so on...so , congrats, you 'win'..after this year, no more 'tainted' kaiju by me, so PLEASE take your victory and trumpet it to your pet turtle or whatever the fuck. Im just going to make big assed expensive shit from now on and sell it through retailers...like everyone else.

    I will return to post ship dates and pics of the chaos when it happens.

    as far as the last 2 items, bigaro and mutant head, i will offer those for sale once they are complete. no preorders.

    It really sucks that a few people's complaints fucks up stuff for everyone on the board. I don't get being negative on a forum unless something is personally affecting you and is messed up. We're all here for the same thing, why ruin it for people?

    Thanks for the info Frank and good luck with getting the RxH mess sorted out. I hope you don't have to take too big of a hit.

    That is all I think most of us was looking for since dates were given then just came and went without a follow-up as to a reason why. Now that the situation is known I think most of us are now in support of what Frank is dealing with.....communication is key...especially those who pre-paid the set
