    It's not too often that I immediately buy a toy when I see it. But sometimes I do.

    Y'all need to get one of these. Even if you don't have any other Sergey toys, this stands on its own. It's pretty brilliant. Apart from the beak, it looks just like a life-size human skull. The Godot series might be my favorite thing in my collection. Absurd art named after an absurd play. Sergey, is "the End of the Man" quoting Jacques Derrida?

    Thank you, response for this was so great!
    I don't even know who Jacques Derrida is.

    Similar philosophy/time period as Samuel Beckett.

    Derrida on Rotocasted, well-played, Shankweather! Haven't seen much mention of him since my college days, long, long ago.

    Anyway - back to Sergey's extremely well-executed sculpture.
    Mine arrived a few days ago, and it exceeded all expectations.
    The unglazed bisque was a perfect choice.
    It is gorgeous, and yes, it does indeed look like a young human skull (with a beak).

    Sergey, thank you so very much for creating this and setting it free in our world!

    Well, I'm not sure if Sergey can do so, but deleting a 100 pieces from your collection isn't that hard, it will only take you a few minutes.

    Sergey (or another mod) did it already.. and i started with a couple, and it took way too long, id rather make a new acct at that point in time.

    i just figured they could wipe it clean fairly easily.. thanks sergey, much appreciated!! (or the other mod who did it!!)

    For some reason I didn't get those GS emails, but I spent healthy 5 minutes erasing your collection from the regular interface.
    No problem.

    oh, very sorry you had to do it indivually.. if i would have known, i would have just made a new acct! i just figured you guys had some sort of tool that could essentially erase my account.

    anyways, i saw your reply on GS.. i chose to sell all of my collection (aside from my formals and two melt monsters), so i could continue to fund my very expensive moutain bike habbit.. if you think toys are expensive, try building a bicycle thats twice the cost of your flippin car!

    thanks again Sergey, this place is the best =)

    I just popped in to say just how much I am still digging this sculpture. I held it in my hands for a bit yesterday, just staring at it and feeling the texture. This remains one of my most treasured items in my collection, and I'm extremely happy and incredibly lucky to be the custodian of it. Still very well-done, sir, thank you once again for sharing it with the world.
