I Heart Cool Stuff

I’ll be the first to admit that I wasn’t a really big fan of Mist’s Debilz. I liked some of them, but the blindboxed set as a whole just didn’t attract me. But, this latest figure that he’s released through his own personal commerce site is nothing short of excellent. I don’t have too much information on it, but I am in love with so many vibrant colors and the general aesthetics of the figure. The figure, named Goldo, is limited to 100 pieces and is apparently exclusive to Mist’s site. If you’d like to purchase the figure, head on over to his blog– you can pay with your paypal if it’s easier for you. =)

I went to see Mist at Kid Robot today. Unfortunately, it was the first time that I actually didn’t stick around for a signing or bothered to meet the artist. Whenever I go to these signings, I tend to bring my sketchbook to steal the souls of the very talented artists that create the figures we all love and adore. I don’t think I’ve ever shown up to an event with the artist’s figure and asked for him/her to sign it. I love my vinyls too much to get them defaced with ink. That’s just me though.

When I arrived to Mist’s signing, the first thing I was told was “no sketchbooks.” One of the guys said he walked in, asked for a sketch and was told to buy the figure. Mist would not be sketching in books only on figures. This decision truly angered me. I know the plot is to both sell as many figures as possible and keep to the time constraints, but I’m a fan who doesn’t like to get her vinyls drawn on. Since I want a tag on a book instead of a vinyl, that means I’m not entitled to one? I didn’t think it was fair. I was angry, so I asked to just take some quick shots and bounced.

Sad times for me.

Hola peeps. Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is Mist’s signing at Kidrobot’s Pirate store. I’m headed there because though I’ve met Mist a number of times, I keep missing him for a sketch. How do I feel about the figure? I really have to see it in person to decide is I really want it or not. I like the head, I’m not sure how I feel about the body. We’ll see tomorrow. If you’re there, say hello. Stop being such a weirdo!
