[summary, i go on a long nerdy ass delusion filled manhunt for a sick ass bart allen impulse figure and win]
Okay so basically I got my first paycheck from my job and i was looking to treat myself to something cool and was scouring for sick dc stuff. Lately I've been into figurines and shit so I've been looking at them on google and ebay.
I was originally thinking about getting a robin figure and I kinda went down a rabbit hole and learned about porcelain figures which are super freaking cool but anyways I saw that there was a young-just-us set (robin, superboy, bart) and as i was freaking out over the set
I went, oh my god i want a bart figure so bad--and so i went on the man hunt for the coolest impulse figure!
This one's really cool so I was planning to get it
BART????? HES SO COOL HERE HOLY CRAP
the website this figure was placed on had the words 'Bart Allen 2000s action figurine, $13.99' so of course i clicked on it because omigosh i need it. Yea so anyways that website was blank and i felt my digital information being drained out of my soul so i closed that out.
But damn that figure is so freaking cool.
and thus i went on a manhunt, screaming, kicking, throwing hands!
Ngl I was actually going insane becauuuuse, this was the only image i could find ANYWHERE (i was praying it wasn't a custom for dear life. hint: it was!)
I almost gave up until i realized i was stupid and there literally was the creators watermark all over the image LMFAO (ironcowprod.com)
So i open the page and go through alllll of his figurine images
let me note that I have become fully aware that I could definitely not buy this bart BUT i just really wanted a sign that the figurine i've been going crazy over exists
so basically im scrolling an scrolling and scrolling annnnnd
Nada. No sign of life at all.
Okay maybe me being heartbroken sounds like an overstatement BUT I REALLY WAS OKAY!
Impulse kinda has a cult following; most people know this character but aside from a few dedicated fans there really isn't any merch specific to him (which upsets me because i love to blow aggregious amounts of money on characters i love lol), so I was really excited to see such a cool figure for him that someone poured love into!
After going through all of ironcow's figurine sections i decided to give up on my search, but, I made one final last ditch effort.
Half heartedly i typed, "ironcow impulse"
Clicked search and HOLY SHIT I FOUND IT WHATTHEFU
I swear in this moment the world gave me a high five.
The figure was created on March 18th, 2000, and it was awesome.
I was super excited just seeing the figure, just admiring it ya'know?
Then i read the description
Oh okay so he didn't make it from scratch and used another as a model haha cool
but what are the chances that base model from the literal year 2000 is still around haha
so guess who has experience: painting figurines, using magic sculpt, and sanding down weird shit for funsies.
Anyways theres a figure in my cart and im ready to paint :]
(Thanks anyone who read through all of this LOL, the figure im making will be heavily based off of iron-cow production's and they are super freaking cool like seriously their work is just inspiration heaven so please please for your sake check out their page it's awesome!)
