Amazon too..now they want our Tax ID..Well HELL NO!

Well well, whatdaya know, Amazon now joins PayPal requiring me to give them my social security number.

With the recent tax changes, You HAVE to do so once you pass the 200 transactions AND $20,000 in gross payments. Well, I have nothing against paying taxes, and certainly, not encourage anyone to skip your tax duties any time, The problem comes with Amazon requiring our numbers when you only make 50 transactions regardless of the amount. WHY IN HELL would I trust Amazon with such sensitive information specially when they have been hacked time and time again? (after all, Amazon's cloud service was used to HACK the Playstation Network back in May 2011, who says they can't do it the OTHER way?)

Dear Amazon people, the law states that you HAVE to report sales when they exceed 200 transactions AND $20.000 in sales NOT 50 treansactions and 5K in a year...This rule of yours is completely absurd not too mention dangerous.

As it is, Amazon will "suspend" my seller account in December 26th well, GOOD RIDDANCE I'm not going to trust ANY online site with such a sensitive information. Looks like doing bussiness in America is getting harder and harder every time, and then the imbeciles in government wonder why the economy is in a sinkhole? why are there no jobs? Why have we gone to be one of the finest countries in the world to now be seen as a bunch of leaderless clowns who can't get their economy fixed. well this is a little example of that. I guess it's time to seriously think about taking all the money I planned to invest here and invest it in MY country and start doing bussiness from South America, where tax laws are not as stupid as these.

Good job Mr. Obama, for a moment there, I really drank the Kool-Aid of "hope" you sold us 4 years ago. I'm still a democrat, but HOPE that something changes next year.

Here is my little "official" note to Amazon:

Dear Amazon,

I am getting spam emails from you requesting my Social Security number because of the new 200 / $20,000 1099 law. Please be advised that my totals have not reached that threshold of $20,000 in transactions totals. I will not be providing my social security number until the threshold has been met. Under the THE PRIVACY ACT OF 19745 U.S.C. § 552a, I am asking you to cease and desist from demanding my social security information until that threshold has been met. I will not be disclosing my social security number to you without authorization or without requirement. I am protected by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a. Section 7. Sec. 7(a) (1) It shall be unlawful for any Federal, State or local government agency to deny to any individual any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because of such individual's refusal to disclose his social security account number. (2) the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not apply with respect to-- (A) any disclosure which is required by Federal statute, or (B) any disclosure of a social security number to any Federal, State, or local agency maintaining a system of records in existence and operating before January 1, 1975, if such disclosure was required under statute or regulation adopted prior to such date to verify the identity of an individual. (b) Any Federal, State or local government agency which requests an individual to disclose his social security account number shall inform that individual whether that disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority such number is solicited, and what uses will be made of it.

If you continue to harass me about this before reaching the requirement limits or if you cancel or suspend access to my account, I have a right to file discrimination charges against your company for violation of my privacy rights under this act. Sincerely, HKC

Bye Bye, Amazon.

Megator's secret accessory revealed: A zombie head?

Well I said it before in my Facebook page, I mean from a designer's standpoint it was OBVIOUS that a zombie head had to be the fabled "secret accessory" I mean the guy is already green right? So thanks to the whistleblobers at one of the factories in China, we now know Megator's "secret" It looks like the head has rooted gray hair, one eye bigger than the other, and is balding on some spots. It's a great looking accessory, don't get me wrong, but keeping something secret in these days is quite difficult. Stay tuned to this blog whenever the Mekaneck secret accessory is leaked as well! Here are the pics:

Custom GALVATRON, Motuc VEENA, Universe SILVER SABLE, and Dcuc SORANIK NATU all this week!

Hello guys, HKC here with another round of plastic awesomeness!

This week I'm proud to present a figure that took me almost a month to create: VEENA, King Grayskull's wife! A fan acclaimed character that by the looks of it, we might not see in official figure form due to the darned copyrights.

Now most of my customers know that I usually take 2 weeks to make a figure, but this one was really a challenge, plus it had a ton of sculpting...Well not as much as another motuc female I'm working on ...but I'm not saying anything hehe...

For the Transformer fans, GALVATRON comes to dominate your shelf in the awesome style of the War For Cybertron videogame, featuring a brand new head and chest sculpt. The tyrant of Cybertron, never looked so good!

Next up, is the acclaimed SORANIK NATU, the neurosurgeon of the Green lantern corps, and Sinestro's daughter. She is another fan requested figure according to a recent poll, sadly she lost, and won't be getting an official figure anytime soon. So here is your chance to own one, complete with an official DCUC stand, and green plasma burst construct. (It can also be used on your Katma Tui figure).

Last but not least, SILVER SABLE, one of my favorite Marvel characters of the 90's complete with her silver gun!

Silver Sable has received very little love in action figure form. The last one we got (that I'm aware of) is the Toy Biz "Spider Wars" one with very little articulation in 1997. I liked her tough attitude and sexy demeanor so much, that I used her a lot in my novel "The Dark Era" A book I wrote back in the 90's.

Now the Universe version I made, condenses all the styles I saw in the comics, and makes this one of a kind figure a true piece, for any 90's comic book lover!

As usual, you can bid on all of these figures and more, on actionfigures123's Ebay auctions here: http://tinyurl.com/cc6djv

Until next week!

This week: Custom animated Grimlock In Takara style, Snake Hunter Man-at-arms, Animated Commissioner Gordon and Marvel universe White Phoenix!

Hey guys, another week here with more custom

goodness. somehow, out of my uber busy schedule, I managed to squeeze in 4 customs this week!

First is a repaint of the animated grimlock, in the Takara/Tommy style. I used the same color palette of the imported one, but added tons more details, including a full repaint of the grey areas using gun metal silver from Games workshop, then more outlines, etc etc. They are subtle details but you would miss them if they were not there.

Second on the lineup, is the Snake hunter Man-at-arms in Masters of the Universe classics style, with combat worn armor as if he had been in a thousand battles against the snakemen.

This figure has TONS of detailing on his armor, several shades of metallic paints, rust effects, scuffs, blast shots, scars etc! you have to really see this figure in person to appreciate the level of detail.

On top of that, this figure comes with 3 alternate heads! an unhelmeted one in the style of the 2002 cartoon, a battle damaged/wounded one with scars and scuffs, and the regular one.

All in all, its a great and unique figure to add to any masters of the universe classics collection. If Mattel were to ever release one, it would have a clean look, as that seems to be the visual style of the line, plus with the upcoming release of King HSS, this figure will fit nicely with your collection!

Next up is an old school figure that with just a few paints looks fresh and brand new: Commissioner Gordon from the batman animated series. in cartoon accurate looks! you can check his video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyJDrIuPJm8

Last but not least, the universe line seems like Juggernaut: UNSTOPPABLE! here is my take on Jean Grey as the white Phoenix, complete with a custom "Phoenix force" wall mountable stand.

You can catch all these awesome figures on Ebay here: http://tinyurl.com/cc6djv Until next week!
