    dumb question, if you buy these are you supposed to open them?

    Never!! Its Art! The card is better than the figure!

    Seriously though, they come off pretty easy, so I guess its personal preference. There just on with a little bit of cello-tape.

    I wish that carded Art figures like this had a slide in/out front, so that you could take them out without damaging the card. Sucklord should get on that shit.

    thanks for that info dan! i was thinking about picking up the 10 d con buff mini flavors but wasnt sure if things packaged like this should be opened or not (and also dont have any money).. although i still would have opened it up either way, i think this would look super weird with a bunch of other opened up figs..

    but IMO, i think the box or packaging is about as worthless as the paper/carboard its made from, all i really care about is the figure/toy. (i think its funny when people get all worked up over a box/packing)

    moody doom,

    great idea, seen it on a few thinks packaged like this before, makes you wonder why you dont see it a lot? maybe they just dont want you openeing it at all.

    did you open yours?

    Do not try and remove the art. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no art.

    @bbxx2334 - no way in hell i'm opening this one. : )

    For me, ice cream toys can only be served with a good dose of titties and heavy metal.

    losing the packaging would subtract all the wonderful buffness from this piece.

    There's no right or wrong though man. Whatever impulse is strongest (to open to not open) just go with it and enjoy.

    i like the pictures and text on the background cardboard more than i like these figures themselfs... so i wont be buying any.. they just look really weird and kinda unoriginal to me, i just wanted to see if people open them or not... i think thats the other reason why i am super turned off by this kinda stuff, you open it to enjoy it for what it is, then it pretty much becomes worthless (in terms of $$$) just because you opened it. thanks for the explanation though!

    Actually we should leave the Manufacturer field empty when it's a custom. This is not a production piece!
    If you want to see who manufactured the platform for the custom, you can just click on the platform tag and find one of the production pieces.
    It's a bit annoying that customs show up when you look for stuff Gargamel has produced.

  • jazzydan angel

    Disagree. It's still the same platform/manufacturer no matter who painted it.

    Yeah, I'm just going to repeat myself :)

    NOT a production toy ergo NO manufacturer.

    Makes sense, eh?

    Totally agree with you regarding platform.

    It's TERRIBLY annoying that customs show up when you look for stuff Gargamel has PRODUCED.

    Goes for series as well.

    Let's hear what other collectors have to say. :)

    Ok, you two old grumpy naysayers ;) Answer me this one then:

    Why did someone at some time choose to seperate customs from production pieces, and hide them in a 'secret' place?

    If your illogical reasoning would make any sence ALL 21 000+ toys in our library should be on the front page, right?

    hahahaaa, now i see where all this started from dan! although i do agree if your making a custom, the platform label should be there, you gotta give credit to the person who made the toy first & came up with the idea... because after alll, if the pocket smogun platform was never released, there would never be this custom!

  • kittykittymeow666

    ... the other reason why it really helps to have the platform label there too is if i see a custom i like/want and have no idea what the platform is, i just go look at the platform and click it and see the production toys, because chances are, i will want those too!

    (btw, if you click on a platform and see all the production pieces and customs, it usually isnt hard to tell whats a custom and whats not just by looking at it)

    Francis Bacon wrote Hamlet, and actually William Shakespeare painted this:

    I think JPK was referring to the other Francis Bacon the British artist popular in the 40's and 50's.
