@Koolhandjoe@Pony Seriously they can go in and adjust my order up by another $25 and I won’t complain, and it still won’t be enough if we’re being realistic. Similar stuff on Etsy is going for $50+, and yours seems to be more detailed and higher quality.
I’m really not sure what the Barbie-type doll-verse has to do with Van Gogh;
But Hey!
Marketers and product line managers have their compulsions too.
Let’s pity them, as they are inevitably emotionally crippled by their enormous paychecks.
@Koolhandjoe Your art is fantastic!!! Been really enjoying seeing what everyone thinks of it all! My lady might kill me if I ended up with one of these intentionally but if one happened to and up in one of my 3 IRK bags, I would not complain a bit. BTW before a month ago I had never gotten a single IRK or Fuku. Now I have got 3 and I’m going to thank you for that, congrats on the promotion as well
I don’t know, but they shouldn’t be sold for $5, it’s insulting They’re worth SO much more. And they should have a “one per customer” limit like IRKs.
@Pony I scored one and I agree. This dude could be making props for Hollywood easily.
@Pony @ShotgunX yall are both too kind

@Pony hopefully Meh bought them from Joe for a LOT more than they are selling them and just passing the savings along to us.
Because it’s one of the less creepy things a man can do with dolls
Dumpster diving pushed him over the edge!
@benj only of the edge of the next dumpster
Anyone who has watched enough episodes of “Law & Order: SVU” already knows the answer to this.
@andrewkl the was such a quiet guy no one expected it.
It is commentary on the social norms surrounding the conceptions of beauty and objectification of dolls.
@medz
And a meta-commentariat on the act of creating artistic meta-commentary, and on the oblique realpolitik re objectification of objectification.
@Koolhandjoe:
Joe is an artist.

@f00l first thing I would have done is ditch one of the ears on that… seems like a missed opportunity
@Koolhandjoe
I suspect the product line manager imaginations, such as those are, tend toward the marketing, not toward the potential for true art.

Dolls don’t talk back.
@hchavers You’ve obviously never met Talky Tina.
Joe is the doll, silly.
