Ya....what the hell is up with that? And then later in the intrview he say he personaly does'nt care about the packaging and always throws it away. WTF? Well then why is it a big deal if you sell them in the package AFTER SDCC?

Con exclusives being available after the con is a weird thing to feel so strongly about. Companies don't trash their leftovers or hold them until next year's con. I'm sure Toys R Us will soon be stocking items with the SDCC logo. It's really not a big deal.

 

I plan on getting the Deadbeets if they don't sell out at SDCC, and I will laugh if the pack looks like they actually took the time to remove a header card from it before selling it online.

It kills me that this man apparently has enough time to remove the packaging off of who knows how many items just to be different.

I don't make toys, I don't own a business, so maybe I have no right to talk here. If you asked me though, I'd say punishing people for something beyond their control in most cases, (not going to SDCC), is a pretty crappy business practise.

 

But again, I don't make toys and don't own a business so maybe my point is null.

Well, it used to be that you couldn't sell official comicon exclusives after comicon, but I don't think that's an issue anymore. It does seem a bit silly to rip all the packaging off the figures to sell them again, but I appreciate that they do care about getting the actual toys to collectors who aren't there. But it's important to respect your fans who are 'packaging' enthusiasts too.

It was cool that they had several exclusive figures this year.

The man is a walking contradiction. I don't have the animosity for him that some here do, but it's very hard to take anything he says seriously.

The way they handled NYCC Stealth last year was better. Just set aside some stock to sell online during con hours so it can still have the feel of a con exclusive if that's important to anyone.

This.

It was respectable and didn't exclude anybody while still retaining its "con exclusive" feel.

I don't think there's animosity between the forums at all, and nobody's ripping on the toys. People are merely taking issue with some of the nonsense George spouts.

 

Also, can I add that Pixel Dan is in dire need of a thesaurus, so he can learn a third adjective besides "cool" and "awesome".

I don't have any animosity towards OT or George personally. I know he reads everything OMFG-related here, and I don't think there is anything wrong with collectors letting him know they disagree with him. I think this header card thing is a silly move that will annoy collectors and possibly hurt OT's sales on these two OMFG sets. The Deadbeets are sure to sell out, header card or not.

I don't go to OT, but I don't harbour any ill-will toward it either. It's what Strontium said, George says some stuff that isn't good for publicity.

I actually own a full-set of the S1 OMFG, and I fully intend on getting a full-set of the S4 when it releases, (S2 and S3 are both a bit crap, if you ask me).

I just don't like George's holier-than-thou attitude with things like this packaging ordeal. He doesn't like con-exclusives being sold after cons, but has no problem at all taking your money anyways. Somehow he is dodging this bullet in his mind because the cardboard at the top is the ACTUAL exclusive. Yes. Right. Because people only love OMFG and Deadbeets for the header cards.

The man's image was sullied in my mind after that January fiasco where he basically shit upon a lot of people for absolutely no reason.

Hey! Straddling the fence is good thing. Riding it from both sides is fun.

I do it all the time. It feels good rubbing my balls on the fence, just saying.

 

I don't blame him for trying to make the exclusive truly exclusive while giving the people who couldn't go a chance to get the figs.

I'd be a bit pissed to buy a ticket to SD CA, buy a ticket to SDCC, buy an exclusive only to see everyone who didn't go get the same exclusive.

He's just trying something different. While he definitely speaks in circles, I understand his thought process.

Wouldn't you guys be upset if the only way to get the figs was through a scalper or find a mule?

I think the only animosity is between gaper and those he attacked, refused to recant or discuss the issue. Asking to have my account removed from OT earned me a short lecture on free speech. I wouldn't support anything he is related to out of principle. Some of his rants have resulted in financial loss to multiple people. To top it off....... he couldn't just let it die of natural causes.... but no, he had to bring it up again and again, just to reopen the wound...... then still refused to have any type of dialogue. Also he openly mocked this forum on his own forum.

 

So at least for me, it has 0 to do with toys at this point, and everything to do with Gaper. 0 class or tact, 0 respect for other that aren't suckling at his teet.

But nobody has an indie toyline like his so he's automatically the revered master of all toy makers. Why she he apologize to the likes of you?! Ya dirty thieving bootlegger!

I think the only animosity is between gaper and those he attacked, refused to recant or discuss the issue.

 Some of his rants have resulted in financial loss to multiple people.

To top it off....... he couldn't just let it die of natural causes.... but no, he had to bring it up again and again, just to reopen the wound...... then still refused to have any type of dialogue.

Also he openly mocked this forum on his own forum.

 

So at least for me, it has 0 to do with toys at this point, and everything to do with Gaper. 0 class or tact, 0 respect for other that aren't suckling at his teet.

 

I personally loved the bit, where he tried to bury the rubber that many custom toymakers use... when provided with an MSDS showing that it is safe, he refused to recant. THEN, when asked to provide an MSDS or ANY proof that his toys had been safety tested, he basically told the person who asked to piss off. I mean, there is a laundry list of shit he has done to damage the business of other artists, as well as being disrespectful to them as well.

 

So yeah, the animosity is there, it was born in Gaspar's mouth, AND when he says some idiotic shit, some people like to call him out on it. 

Me? I don't want to get that shit on my clothes.
