From Grasshut and Martin Hi gang, Martinhead here… Got a super limited custom release here– the Mini Mercyful Ojo, (tribute to King Diamond) and a signed and numbered 5X5 inch print to go along with it. Pocket vinyl from Gargamel do not come out that often; hand painted Pocket Ojos by me are even more rare. There are 3 sets left of the 6 total I made, don’t miss out! Ya don’t gotta be a metal fan to love this! Contact me thru my site martin@martinhead.com or thru me directly robomofo@earthlink.net. I'm not interested, but I'm sure some of you are.
Yeah, I'm on the same boat. Comissioned a custom 2 years ago and still don't have it. It's really aggravating to see that he pumped out a bunch of customs in the meantime, but didn't have the time to finish mine, which I paid for in advance. The worst part is he pulled out a similar stunt a couple of years back - offered 5 custom mini pockets (posted a pic of a completed one) on the Sales forum here at SB. I bought one and it took me almost an year to get mine, even though he assured on the sales thread that all 5 were ready. In summary, buyer beware.
Not to hijack this thread away from the awesomeness of King Diamond, but I just want to contribute a word on Martin O. He is a really nice fellow, but needs (NEEDS) to be reminded. I know you all might not think it necessary, but do send messages often (if you don't hear through email, try Facebook). If you've waited years, AND paid for it, don't feel bad about multiple requests. Try once more, and if you don't hear anything in a few days time, PM me your info (real name, what u requested as custom, and when), and I will do my best to ask Martin in person.
Thanks for the offer. I can't speak for Drano but I assure you I've sent a bunch of emails to remind him of the custom he owes me.
that's a heavy price, but to get a bit of unofficial king diamond memorabilia on a kick ass sculpt, hand-painted and uber limited, it's worth it. i could never settle for a pocket one knowing that that beauty of a regular size exists out there somewhere....
