Delayed Superfogeys KS

[Serpine]

Was thinking that if you are concerned about Gene paying for somebody else's debt, but you do want the figures before some theoretical time the project actually gets fulfilled, you could maybe arrange to send money *to* Gene for any figures he sends you. Then he gets money and you get stuff, which is kind of how things should be. :)

Wow, I appreciate all the support! I'd like to state publicly and for the record, I'm NOT trying to shoulder or assume Mr. Lidberg's debt to his Kickstarter backers. My reaching out in no way absolves Mr. Lidberg of the responsibility he still has to each and every one of you. He will still owe his backers the rewards he promised them during his KS campagin and I encourage you all to continue your efforts in holding him accountable for his actions or lack thereof.

 

That being said, I'm paying it forward the same way a third party stepped up and helped me out during this whole debacle. Without their help I would have never been compensated for the figures I did sculpt for Mr. Lidberg. I don't want any of you to worry about the financial part because I've got that covered. I can't stand by, idly doing nothing. I'm doing this because as Popeye often says, "That's alls I can stands, cause I can't stands no more!"

 

So my offer still stands, anyone who pledged for a reward level that included the Superfogey figures can contact me at [email protected] with the subject "Superfogeys" and I will send them a care package. It won't be the KS reward that Mr. Lidberg still owes you, but it will be fun (which is what this whole thing was supposed to be in the first place!) I'm not accepting any monies for this and these figures are not for sale.

 

Finally, if you are indeed watching any of this Mr. Lidberg, SHAME ON YOU!!

 

Best Regards,

Gene

A fun care package from Gene Van Horne himself.

 

Well now I AM tempted...

Everyone else is going to get cool stuff.  Gene's going to send me a lump of GS, Sculpey and a used dental pick, and remind me I took his class this April and tell me to make my own damn mini

 

And I am going to sculpt a whole bunch of little snakes and worms

...crap in a hat.

Gene did not get paid?

I'm going to leave this thread now, before I violate some guidelines ...

Class.  Pure class.

Halloween is coming... I do have lots of crummy rocks.... Hmmmm

[buglips*the*goblin]

And that's why Gene is awesome.

Wow!  Just Wow!

 

I'm really tempted by Gene being such a nice guy... but in which case I have to at least pay shipping because shipping to Australia is not cheap!

/makes a mental note to never play football with Gene if he asks me to be the place kicker

This is unbelievably crazy cool of Gene.  On the one hand, I don't feel right accepting anything since it's not his responsibility, but on the other hand a care package from Mr Gene Van Horne himself is too good to pass up!  I'm gonna buy EXTRA of Gene's minis now!

[kay13]

I'm very very tempted.... but it feels wrong accepting anything since its not his responsibility...  and he won't accept even shipping money (and shipping to Australia is expensive).....

[smokingwreckage]

Shipping for just one figure isn't all that bad, packed right they fit in a letter envelope, and they weigh very little.

CARE PACKAGE UPDATE:

 

I just wanted to let everybody know I've received a good response about the care packages and things are moving along nicely.  With any luck the packages will be ready to go out to you all here soon. 

 

I ALSO wanted to let everybody know that when the good folks, as in THE MOST SUPER AWESOME EVER, at Reaper got wind of what was going on, they wanted to help out too. That's just the way those crazy kids roll !!   They have gone WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY here and made this a random act of kindness for me as well as all of you. They really stepped up and have donated time, materials, and manpower to get this thing done.  PLEASE give a BIG THANK YOU, Shout-Out, and send LOTS of Love and Support to all the GREAT People at Reaper!!!

 

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU needs to go out to Dave Pugh, Ed Pugh, and Ron Hawkins without whom, none of this would have been possible. You guys truly are AWESOME!!    

 

Thank You and Very Best Regards,
