skinner x shikaruna x lulubell

Couldn't agree more. I know that the people behind it seem to be super excited. But there is only maybe 1 company (gargamel) out there that I would go out on a limb and buy something blindly.

 

Considering what SK did with the movie license Khappa I'd say it's very likely that the figure will be true to Skinners work and I am willing to bet on it. Not 500 though. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of people either kicking themselves for missing this or the reverse. Hopefully I end up on the no kicking side.

 

I am really looking forward to seeing the finished product and am not gambling on the 500.00 bag but am considering a 200.00 bag. Would any 2 people want to go in on a 500.00? Each of us would get two figures and 1/3 of the t-shirt! That's 2 figs guaranteed for around 170.00. Instead of the $200.00. If anyone is interested, let me know. We can try to figure out the best way to split the 6 amongst 2 other people.

I know there isnt a lot of time, so we should figure this out soon.

 

Take the red pill . . . or take the blue pill . . . Buy it . . . or don't buy it . . . gotta love freedom of choice!

Just don't get fuckin' needy later in the game!

 

Did you guys see the video on Toybot's website of Skinner's Sculptures. Crazy stuff!

 

Great video! I am looking forward to them getting some paint. I have been imagining some of his 2D Monsters come to life in 3D. This will be great.

 

We have a choice? Doesn't feel like it, as I buy my shit on impulse

 

haha, i am looking forward to knowing what my impulse will do.

 

Buying on impulse is your CHOICE!. . . a choice you may possibly regret later . . . but a choice nonetheless!

As long as you don't immediately start a bleeding-heart 'why can't I ever buy the toys I want' thread, or an 'I must have this toy or I'll die' thread!

 

I logged in, got the card ready, and waited...then changed my mind.

 

well, theyre mustve been a few $200.00 dice rollers!!

(sold out)

cant wait to see pix of the first painted release.

 

$500 gone too haha wow...

 

you don't understand... shivers come over my body and i just start clicking shit & then toys come in. That's how I roll

 

fuck! NOW I WANT ONE

 

This sounds all to familiar, does your ass get sweaty as well?

 

yeah. but it's more like mud butt

 

Glad I grabbed the $200 set before it was gone. I had no doubt this would move fast. Skinner's got a lot of fans out there. Happy to see this get off to a rabid start. Let the hoarding begin!

 

personally, and this is just my opinion obviously, but I don't know if I could ever buy something this expensive blindly and I'm a little bothered by it all. These toys are expensive as shit to begin with so to be asked to commit before even seeing anything is just kind of stupid.

 

I was about to point out that I'm a little bothered by it all too and would'nt want that to become a trend,
then I realised that I'm SSSS

 

Yeah, after I read that they sold out so quickly, I thought pictures must have surfaced somewhere and I missed out on something killer... I could care less now, I just can't throw money down like that without having a better understanding of what exactly I'm investing in. I'd much rather kick myself later for having missed out than be kicking myself once pictures surface, only to be dissatisfied with the final product.

It must feel nice though to have fans willing to cough up so much dough so blindly. I personally discovered Skinner's work quite recently after hearing about the upcoming release; he's got a great portfolio, coupled w/Shikaruna, I think the project has a lot of potential... not enough potential for me to cough up that much cash though.

Nothing personal... to be fair, you could probably take 2-3 of my favorite artists and offer me the same deal, any dream collaboration you could possibly think of, you name it, I still wouldn't put down the money until I had a better understanding of what the figure was going to look like.

I do hope the figure turns out to be great though. Hope all goes well and all are satisfied w/their purchases in the end.

 

If anyone ain't feeling it....and wanna sell it for cost hit me up.







just kidding...I just hate it when people do that.

 

I was wavering on the $500 mark... but ended up pulling the trigger on $200! I just don't have that kind of money to spend on toys even if they offered layaway. I really justified it with I really like Skinner and what he does and want to support his efforts, and I feel the same way about Lulubell, and in all honesty it almost seemed like a Kickstarter funding project knowing that I will get something in return and also help out 2 entities... win/win!

 

Huge congrats to both Skinner and Luke on the success of this !!

 

I was and wasn't surprised that all of these packages sold so quickly given the fact that no pictures have surfaced anywhere. But Skinner has a fan base and so does Siccaluna. It's hard to imagine that the offspring of these sick and demented parents would be anything less than twisted and psycho.
