His licensed stuff is so hit or miss. Pinocchio, Astro Boy, Vader/Stormtrooper all worked. Tweety, Snoopy, Woodstock, not so much. I think it has something to do with the level of detail, because those last three are such simple figures, and the first four are pretty spectacular. If he wants to keep using the same design, he better nail it every time, and Woodstock is not nailing it.
That being said, I mashed up the Snoopy and Woodstock in this pic, and I still think this would look awfully nice on your shelf. I can see how people would like it, even if it doesn't appeal to me.

But if those yellows don't match I'm done with KAWS forever! -

Yep I agree with shank . I'm a big KAWS fan but I skipped tweeties, partners , snoop & Woodstock . Resting place & astroboy super cool . I picked up a '99 companion in brown a few weeks ago .

I thought it was a Russian website, and that's Danish.

Why people buying those? Just for nostalgic value?
I am from behind the iron curtain, so I didn't grow up with GIJoe and Transformers, so these properties doesn't speak to me at all. -

I grew up adoring both the shows, but I still find these figures completely unappealing. Something about the way they are designed- yes, very close to the Kidrobot aesthetic- disappointing.

These specifically do nothing for me. But some things I buy for nostalgia, other things in those realms just have their aesthetic seared into my brain and I find it cool

Yes, I saw his closed note. It'll give you more time too to decide on your colour scheme. Love to see what you get done.

damn, i dont do social media.. anyways, like this, although i didnt make the lines on the damn thick enough, i wanted it more like the painting on the right
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d114/jumpman2334/damnedron_zpsbee185f6.jpg
basically he said that he doesnt like to do designs/patterns on damns eyes, he just doesnt think it looks good.. no hard feelings, just bummed... ill get a custom rainbow damn from him one day.. i just bought a d-lux damn not too long ago as well =)

I don't class flickr as social media in the social media sense of the term.
Shame about the lined eyes, but fair enough if he doesn't like to do them. By the way, you should put that custom in the library, it's cool. I like the green slime. -
12 years ago
i dont either.. its a picture uploading site. i have a flickr. i need to upload my photos somewhere!!
and i will when i get some time (my shift ends in 2 mins, and its my friday, yayyyy), ive been good about uploading things that i get that arent in the library. i think its mainly cause im trying to keep a tab on the # of toys i have. -
