Dude. I like you. I've always liked you. But get off your fucking high horse...and comparing toys to rape? Yes, that is what you just did. Smoke a bowl and chill out or something. Do you enjoy shaming people? I just lost my girl to cancer and had $3,000 in medical bills and now $4,000 more in lawyers. You don't know me, you don't care about me or my life, but you have the nerve, (the entitlement actually) to find me on ebay and call out my .99 cent auctions? You get to pick what I like and what I decide I dont like? You get to dictate what I want to keep and not keep? Sorry bro, maybe if i came out of your sandy vagina, but no, you dont. Get a life dude. I don't own you an explanation, I don't owe you shit, and im not going to check with you to see if it's okay when I sell MY TOYS. I just came from teaching inner city youth all day, to getting my son to his cello lesson, and now I'm at his bball practice. I'm too busy being a fucking adult to care about your shaming or God complex.
This is my Kumon collection so far. Some lucky scores and awesome trades. No flipper prices paid, just perfect timing and luck.
I honestly don't care if the toys are from ebay or legit through the creator in how you get them but to me its all about price point. If the kumon on ebay were resonable around the 50 dollar range id be buying them. However since ppl feel the need to post them for 150 and up on most places i just stay away and wait till something drops that i can afford from the maker.
After an entire year of trying, I was finally able to score one of these bad boys! Now to wait until spring.. Thanks for the preorder, Dennis! Super excited to add one of these to the collection!
I really want to grab a set of these but I am apprehensive as I feel like a lot of people will grab this set on hype alone and the preorders are going to take a long while to fill. I just would hate to have my cash in limbo until June or July. I'm not talking Shit I'm more asking for opinions on that line of reasoning.
Your money won't be in limbo. It'll be put into the hands of great guy and factory that helps produce some of the most crazy and awesome toys around. It might take a bit to get the set or whatever your Oder but you'll be even more stoked on that random package when it comes. It's more of an investment to your own happiness and this scene.
Both of these Kumons are from a recent 3K IG Giveaway Shirahama Toy did this past week. Its nice to see some more painted versions instead of more blanks and marbled figures.
I can agree with this however i feel that the blank marbled pieces are so vibrant on there own they don't need to much paint if any to be really pleasing on the eyes. I would love to own a few painted versions as well though since they seem to be more on the rare side now a days in terms of releases.
Speaking of marbled, I sincerely hope this stays in Dennis' possession forever. I know rabid fans are overly thirsty, and I do adore this one myself, but it's just so goddamn special. This should be placed in a glass case in his studio as a visual reminder of what he's pioneered in pouring and capable of. View this post on Instagram
Noooooooooooooooo! That is the nicest marbling I've ever seen and he needs to make more! Maybe leave out one color so that one stays unique for ever but that melted crayon version needs to live again.
Credit for the White melted Crayon Kumon should go to Luke, this is one of the very first marble Kumon and was made when we first started learning how to pull soft vinyl. I think we've talked about making it a real release but it just hasn't happened yet.
I do agree with this. I remember seeing this up on Dennis IG feed years ago and being like whaaaaaaat?!. Personally it's just because of the colors I love this kumon and would love to see a release of something like it. This was the beginning of what now is some of the craziest marbling in vinyl, but it belongs in the kumon history case for sure. I even have a couple that I feel should be locked in that case as well. But they are safe with me. Haha That's exactly what it looks like is melted crayons. It is so crazy how many colors in this one. Defiantly should do a release to this effect.
This is the time where we all get together and focus our positive energy at Dennis in hopes that this happens, kind of like what the Care Bears used to do..
