Where are the OG Freaks? Members from past 10+ years

See the world while you can. It's a big place. Yet, small at the same time.

Wow - seeing some of these usernames really brings me back. I remember Josh-someone in the LOTR area who had a great collection. I always liked DarthChrisDK (I think) collection. Not huge, but great taste.

I took a 6 day nap in late 2021 and the doctors even had a convo about pulling the plug. Thankfully the wife decided to try and put up with me for a bit longer. Since then I tend to look at things a little simpler.

I love collecting, always have, but there's too much other stuff out there. Just make sure you don't let it all pass by you, life is too short for that. I just focus on pieces that I know I would never part with.

Is it a redirection of funds or a loss of interest?

Yes. haha

Oh yeah... TheJosh.

Do you remember a guy named Jedster?
He was very active on the forum circa 2014-2015.
He had an amazing Batman collection.
Anyone knows what he’s becoming?

In my mind he and Dean Knight were the same person up until right now (I don't know much about Dean Knight other than that he has a big Batman collection).

That would be The Josh and, yes, he had a great collection!

Both Josh and DathChrisDK were mods back in the day.

I could be wrong but wasn't the SS 1/6 GI Joe Dusty based on TheJosh? Maybe not him, but I remember at the time ppl were saying the Dusty sculpt was based off a member here. That could've just been said for laughs though and I just didn't pick up on it back then

I remember the Spooktaculars of yesteryear and the fun we had then!

Prison?

​

The Spooktacular/Freaktacular thread was awesome! Full of awesome members, sadly most are no longer active.

Thursdays used to be an exciting night EVERY week. Sideshow was on fire for a while there

Oh man, Priority Pre-Orders were super exciting! Back when "sold out" meant something.

Speaking of TheJosh, I haven't seen TheMike on here for awhile. I see him all the time on facebook, but seems like years since I saw him post.

It was awesome and fun!

It sucks that so many Freaks from that time are gone.

Still here too. Since 2007. Dont post as much. Just B/S/T. Lived on this forum back in the day. Used to meet up to pick up sale stuff. Was so cool. I sound like an old man lol.

Who was that dude that Sideshow hired (eventually) to go interview and film at the conventions? Anyone remember that guy?

Jon Deak.

I seem to remember they hired p!tu looooooong before that excrescence Deak.

 

[slynger]

p!tu was good stuff. Crazy and hilarious to watch.

 

[vader70450]

P!tu. That was it. Lol. What happened to that guy?
