Random crap with Uno.

[Unorthodox]

THAT is pretty teh awesome, at least at that angle for that week.

Well, I have plans for the timing issue.  The idea is generally to let nature pick the structure and follow it up with my artificial vines I've been working on the last few years.  These WILL be getting stolen and mass marketed, mark my words.  I don't have a video of last year's upgrade posted, these are 2023.

Imagine that: whole manufacturing sites waiting for the latest UnO Idea release, ready to beat the competition to a pulp.

Laughing, not-laughing.

We have direct evidence of it on several occasions.

Giant skeleton fad during covid. I buy one to make a vine version with a heart in the chest. Following year they release a vines version with a light in the chest.  The following year they sold heart add ons. 

The vines SHOULD be economical enough to do. 

Cerement is a good candidate as well for a ~$300 price point knockoff. 

I just barely uploaded those two to more public areas. Give it 2 years.

Do you have any idea how popular (sales numbers wise, or profit wise) those ripoffs are with the general public?
I do kind of feel honored, posting with a trendsetter.

Got an inspiration.  With the background should resize and work anywhere as-is...

I wonder how the Baroness would work as a redhead?

Google albums appears to be reminding me why I went to self hosting so I can't post side by side pics. 

Not hard numbers but years of availability kinda tell you that story. 

Skulls on bamboo, Uno 2007, Spirit started selling in 2018-2022.  Most their props are 2 years average so pretty good. 

Father, 2014.  Spirit "headless Jack" in 2021.  Tekky mass sold to just about all the stores 2022 to present.  Yes, I'm extremely confident I popularized the half a pumpkin head with guts hanging look on scarecrows. 

Trevor cadaver tomb 2018.  MULTIPLE bad attempts at copies.  None are selling well.  I think combo of bad design and high price.  I would have bought the home depot one if it wasn't for like a 4' tall person, for instance. 

Home Depot 10' skeleton mods:

Heart: Uno 2020 Home Depot 2022-present
Vines: Uno 2020 Home Depot 2021-present

Neither are breaking records but they keep offering so okish. 

Cerement is RIPE for mass market...if someone works the kinks out.  It was EXTREMELY frustrating and I'm not happy and had to walk away and rethink.  I'll be getting back to it.  It's "just" a skeleton wrapped in a thin diffusing material so internal lights show the bone shadows through.  You could sell it as skin and light kits for any of the skeletons on the market.  My struggles were twofold:  Making it look good in the day, and getting the lighting to work right as I wanted the heartbeat motion.

(for those playing at home, that's an antelope spine, moose ribs, cow pelvis, and hand sculpted hands/arms/legs/skull and 3d printed horns)

you think i'm switching away from perfection? 

[Buster's Uncle]

I think you enjoyed a little Destro art, and that's all I really expected.

[Buster's Uncle]

And boner luv roolz, but perfection would be letting me get rid of that silly hat and make what's left bigger...

Uno as Bond villain.

This is such a profound and fitting insight that it just clamped hEt to a table and - let us draw the curtain on this wholesome family scene of none-of-our-business, shall we?

I’m not opposed to the visual.

[Buster's Uncle]

Someone should google whether Skeletor ever had Teela on a table-doom.  -Princess Aura on the Flash Gordon cartoon would be nearly the same, in fact...

[Buster's Uncle]

I colorized a Mesoamerican carving the other day...

...Side by side for comparison...
