Stallone line - First Blood Rambo released

[Life_m2000]

--

I want the Stallone Cobra figure, but the incompetence of Nick, the $ up front, and the perceived or real concerns about the prototype to production varying . . . but especially the sanitary napkin antics of Nick justifies me not buying into it.

I'd rather spend the $ on a custom offered by a proven and respected customizer than buy the official release.

I don’t know anything about this Nick guy that everyone talks about.

Cancellations were crazy today

Interesting. I didn't know.

I have Odell on my block list. What a . . . he is IMHO.

Yep a complete **** he even tried to get me booted off the Mrs Doubtfire cheung Kinmen figure run but it didn't work.

All he ever talks about is how much something costs and it's only good if it costs $$$$$ . Yet the guy doesn't even own a home lol . Yet he boasts all the time . It took me 3 years but I finally pushed him so far that he eventually blocked me about a month ago.. that's one of my proudest moments

I believe in earned and rightful acknowledgment/credit.

The KP team does not deserve let alone earn the criticisms that have been directed at them lately by those who don't know the facts and nuances of the situation.

The bottom line that is clearly obvious is that the ***** Nick is the root cause of the discord occurring.

And that's the problem, many people don't know that KP who have a good reputation are producing this figure, they think that the circus clown Nick is behind it all .

IIRC, he publicly complained/posted about how I blocked him and others and I was being rude, etc.

No.

I'm not being rude. If I believe you're a . . . then I block you. I don't need the added drama even though there is apparently plenty of drama and then some as of late regarding 1:6 figures and problems with certain vendors.

Complaints about blocking people now?

That's one of his specialities, he will screenshot your post then cuss you out . Odell also has some weird obsession with telling custom artists how to run their business. Always publicly trying to shame them , he has done it to Denny Kim, Cheung Kinmen, Rainman but his favourite person to keep pestering publicly is Beto Matali. All those people have more talent in their little finger than Odell has in his entire body

Who is this Odell? (Pardon my ignorance)

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Who is this Odell? (Pardon my ignorance)

A guy on Facebook. He's really into custom figures, and seems to be on friendly terms with the people making this figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

He's just a collector? And he's telling people how to run their business?

He's one of those know-it-all types?

Who is this Odell? (Pardon my ignorance)

He came into the hobby about 10 years ago and ****** up straight away. He started recasting Hot toys bale headsculpts and selling them .when people called him up on it he pretended that he was making them for his 3 year old nephew

Then he started selling recasted Dexter headsculpts on ebay but pretended that they were original and not recasts but got caught out in the forums when he was named and shamed. He tried to deny it and said he new nothing about it ,then changed his tune and said that it was his cousin selling the headsculpts. He was selling recasts of Beto matali headsculpts too and Beto called him out .

I found all this out after Odell kept trolling me and harassing me on the groups for having 4 , yes 4 Redman figures in my collection of over 200 figures.

He kept saying Redman are thieves stealing other people's work and I'm terrible for having those figures in my collection but then I discovered his secrets that he tried to erase .

Other than that he has some weird obsession with Tupac and Prince , he non stop makes multiple figures and silicone busts off them .

He is an all around bullshitter and probably the most ridiculed person in the hobby

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wow. Thanks for the background. Fascinating case study. What's his full name again? I have to look him up now.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I don't care who was involved in the production of this figure. The figure doesn't look like it is worth $260, to me. (plus shipping, tax, tag, dealer fees, etc...)

And I REALLY want a vagrant Rambo version, most of all.

I would buy a $300+ figure from him with a 2 year wait and full payment up front I mean what could go wrong.

Odell young, and he believes that he is responsible for putting this figure together lol .

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, did some research on him. Also found this old thread from here in 2013:

Recaster?

Entertaining 3 page read. I agree about the Q comment... any time someone gets combative regarding a deal/business proposition, they are shifty and should be avoided.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Odell young, and he believes that he is responsible for putting this figure together lol .

Someone post that on Nick's feed and see if Nick agrees with this Odell character.

If he does, means stay clear of this figure... if he does not, means you get to show up Odell again. Win-Win.

Yeah, that's him alright. I forgot about all that. He was always getting into fights here and wasn't he banned at some point?

 

[xXJ0kerXx1]

i feel no one is blaming the artists that are over at KP, we know their work is incredible, no one faults them. but one thing is... they are marketing and advertising the figure better than Nicky did in the last year and a half.

This reminded me of a bizarre video I saw a long time ago by chance, and now I think it's that "Odell" who delivers the sermon:
