Re: Anton Assassin Clothes Set CALLING FOR FINAL PAYMENT
Vic, I didn't post that pic to start a war, it was to show you more of a "are you aware of this,it is nowhere near what your doing,=and I'm glad you did what you did instead post".
That being said, I think there are a few people out there who forget why they got into collecting this stuff in the first place. I can't speak for you or others, but it should be first and foremost:
1. Your love of that movie 2. Your love of that character they portrayed 3. Your connection to your childhood because that's why at 25+ your still buying toys as a grown man or woman. 3. The love of the art of the figure itself 4. The love of the artist who created it.
Now, there's a number 6 for a few people out there and I know I'm gonna get flack but I don't spend time caring what of people think of me, I've got more things going on in my life.
That is the I have it, you don't , I can afford it , you can't, having this somehow in my mind, makes me accepted (but it doesn't). You shouldn't be doing this if you can't afford it (which is ****ing ********). Now that I have this others will accept me as one of there own (which they don't, those types truly only care about themselves) NO one new can do this, only me, (which means your just afraid of not being special anymore, you never WERE)
In the end, just remember, YOU can't take it with you when you die and it is paint,resin & plastic.. not REAL.
That doesn't mean, it's not cool, or it shouldn't be enjoyed, it should. If i had it my way, I wish everyone could have a Rainman,Yunsil,JD Kim etc etc.. of their own, not because I want it mass marketed, because it's art and something that I love and I want people to share that love of it. It ain't yours to keep.
If that was true, those guys would just make it for themselves and never sell or share it.
Just like Vic said, some people get into it for monetary gain and to brag. Then there are people who change it, like Jacob who can create it and wanna share it. Every time , I've ever asked someone like him a question or a "how to" he never got a a high horse, he just shared. That's the kind of collector or artist I wanna surround myself with.
Ok, enough. Let me have it, I can take it back.
