I just found this post and this thread. Here is my 2 cents. $300 is crazy, however, I feel that Alex did what is done all the time. I have done it and I am sure tons of the same people in this discussion have offered buy outs or for a single figure, successfully or not successfully. Alex congratulations on great aggressive negotitations! Seriously Doc, you just said a while back that you had truck problems and you had to sell some extras to raise some cash. Are you trying to tell us that you had $300+ to shell out on him? Also, what is done is done. No one is saying that you have to be happy about it, however, tearin' into Alex is just plain jealously. I do however, dig the multiple suggestions of Alex loaning me the figure to make a "LIMITED RUN" (not mass production) of these for a more reasonable price for everyone. Also, I could make them in clear colors and none in pink flesh, so that it would not effect his original figure's value. I will contact Alex to discuss some business with him. I also would like Alex to let me do a similar run of the Spinning Head Ashurman.
Needless to say, Alex, I think what you did was A-OK! Congratulations.

just to clarify, that is me "Doctor Dew" who has the blown up truck....Seriously Doc, you just said a while back that you had truck problems and you had to sell some extras to raise some cash. Are you trying to tell us that you had $300+ to shell out on him?

I am an idiot.
Wrong Doc. Sorry Doctor Dew.
doc_moore_j --------doesn't have the truck problems, however,
would doc_moore_j spend $300 + on a BHS?

Yup, and then some. Taichi would have at least spent that, and I`m sure there are a few others who would have easily pushed it over $400!!would doc_moore_j spend $300 + on a BHS?

Welcome to the Board. This is the best place for info on anything Kinnikuman related. Plus everybody is pretty cool. If you are looking for figures then check out the AKIA store. Johnny has a huge selection of Kinkeshi and MUSCLEs. With the way the auctions on ebay have been lately it is harder to get a good deal via auctions.Wow This is THE definitive MUSCLE community.

if I had it, I'd be thinking a LOT differently than now that I don't.......
I can say now "Yes, I would've sent it off to you", but don't know if I would say the same thing if I had actually gotten it.......
I just want a BHS, I don't care if it's a custom, the real deal, or even a Kinkeshi.........I just want it, and I want it complete.......
I'm thinking about trying to negotiate with Jkaris to see if he can score me one (along with a SHA) on Yahoo! Japan......
it don't matter much to me, so long as it's the same sculpt.......
and if I had a KINKESHI one, I'd have less of a problem sending it to GODBEAST for customs.......
but, he'd have to agree to do 'em in solid blue and green!

Hey Marty,
Thanks for the offer on the Super Rares. I value their rarity too much to risk the chance of losing them in the mail or something freak accident like that though. I greatly appreciate the offer to get back the money I spent on Blackhole Sunshine. I am just paranoid about things like this. I do trust your ability to make perfect reproductions and customs too, I've seen your work and it is magnificent. There is still a person on this board that has a Spinning Head Ashuraman too. His name is JShurt and he is registered as El Midgetron. JShurt knows the other owner of the orignal Blackhole Sunshine also. His name is Damon. Maybe if you contacted El Midgetron he could get in touch with Damon and convince him to loan as well. That way you would have the Spinning Head Ashuraman from El Midgetron and the Blackhole Sunshine from Damon. Offer them an offer similar to the offer you offered me. They may do it. They may do it if they knew your cause also without the offer. Might not hurt to ask.
Thanks again Marty!
Alex
All that said, I understand totally and respect his decision. So sorry to everyone wanting a BHS or a SHA.

If sniping is getting an auction at the last second, what would this be called?
Bombing?
Nuking?
Poisoning?
And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

lol I know he's pretty ugly but im sure some people would want him (i think)
then someone else would see that he is made like the American muscles
also what happens if this Black hole Sunshine turns out to be one of the japanese figures? (knock on wood)
But im sure Alex asked him if he is or isn't so im sure no worry's

What's up, dude? I had to take a break, I was spending way too much money on muscles for a while, and it was easiest to go cold turkey... It's pretty damn cool that another BHS surfaced, and now this drunken master guy? What a lucky find! I still think that the ultra fabulous, ultra furious blue zord holds his own, though... heh heh heh.Welcome back EASPorts! Where have you been? See what you have missed?
And "hey, how's it going" to all the rest of you seasoned board members out there, too! I've been prowling some NES boards the past couple of months. You know, it's been said before, but this is a pretty unique community here, good stuff. I just never got the same feel from other boards...
What's up doc? Haven't they shipped you out yet? I know up here we're getting ready to go somewhere...
"We are home"
"That was fast"
