the unauthorized SPIKY collection ~ series no. 01

you know those toys that you find and immediately fall in love with? maybe print out a few and place them into your "to-do" pile, but every time you reach for it, there's a little voice in your head telling you that you're not ready for it yet? well, the SPIKY was one such toy. each time i went to build it, i felt that, "not yet" feeling. and then a few weeks ago i finally went for it and built PLAYTIME.

it immediately became my favorite toy. just holding it in my hand brought an immense smile to my face. so elegant, so awesome! it also set off a mad search for any more i could find, yielding very little in the way of satisfaction (more on this later.) i did however, thanks to the generosity of greenelf, get my hands on the blank. so i started to think, why not make my own?

so i set out to customize this amazing toy, despite the fact that it's over 5 years old. the plain and simple being that i want more SPIKY in my collection. we all know how shin feels about his old toys, but i can't help but think that the world's a better place when there's more shin tanaka out there, condoned or not. i might be wrong here, and i'm certainly not suggesting these five will change anything other than the fact that they make me happy, but why not make more? why not spread the blank around this mad world of ours and raise a few smiles?

so i did, and i'm sharing them with you. i hope you like.

i won't be making these available on a file sharing service, if only to honor shin's desire to keep things "limited" and "rare" but i will gladly email you the template[s] of your choice should you ask nicely. and all that i ask, in the spirit of shin's wishes, that you yourself don't distribute them. should you encounter someone wanting them (if i allow myself to think they're desirable) send your friends to me, and i'll pass them along.

peace, love, and of course, PAPER!

Comment by Titus Woods on December 26, 2011 at 12:11pm: Hey, sorry for all the fuss. It just sounded from your text that you were using Shin's design. Not making an original design.

This is what this site is all about, the sharing of ideas and looking out for each other.

Great work as always.

Comment by baykiddead on December 24, 2011 at 10:20am: Thanks to all for your kind words re: my SPIKY series. More on the way soon!

Comment by jasoncbolt on December 23, 2011 at 3:34pm: Every one knows that spiky is shin's original model. Baykid just did his own custom version. Just like the million other customs of other designers model's. It's what we do. As long as vredit is given where its due (which it was Mr. woods) I dot see the harm in it. I think they are neat Baykid. Good work!
