Just when I thought I was okay not getting a Simpsons

They start putting on new materail handles (look at the bottom)

I hope the make some in best

Thank goodness they're out of stock!

I have seen a couple of these from some other people. They look really nice.

Obviously YMMV but these:



make me want to hurl! How could you put manchurian badger in something so gawdy! No style or class.

Stick with the traditional Simpson!

The blue one I have seen some better photos of but I wish it was a a solid medium blue rather than swirl.

The one I really like is the Jade pattern.

Disgusting.

Clearly Simpsons is now aiming to target a different social circle than they used to.
A sign of desperate times , obviously.

 

[Danricgro]

I like em. Nothing wrong with variety!

I had to get off that page as I was flinching at the M7 2 band butterscotch. Nice looking brush.

I suppose Simpsons has been copied so much over the years that they can be forgiven somewhat for copying their competition.

what kind of new social circle do you think that would be?

The vein jade reminds me a little of my omega mix midget (different colour and shape, of course..)

The cobalt and disco haze chubby's are really crispy

Thats a strange comment. I get why the rod stock doesn't appeal to everyone, but these still are Manchuran, still very highly priced, and theyve done "gaudy" designs before.

Not to mention that these look almost exactly like the crazy Rooney stock that occasionally comes out and no one ever accuses Rooney at targeting of any "social circle."

Personally they seem very British; a nice traditional piece of kit that's decked out in loud and eye-catching style.

 

[Danricgro]

Yeah, I don't get where disgusting comes from. I think they look better than the butterscotch craze that is going on.

 

[Isaac]

To each their own. I think that the imitation ivory and butterscotch are the only variants that look stellar. The new batch of material would never make it into my stable.

 

[GarrettReid]

Thank god someone finally made a brush to fit my social circle.

 

[Deleted member 48987]

what kind of new social circle do you think that would be?

Sexual deviants, clearly.

 

[barbapapa]

Sexual deviants, clearly.

then i might be tempted

 

[Danricgro]

I'll take one of each!!!!

 

[hedonist222]

People have tastes. I find them (color combinations) disgusting. Why are you upset? Must I share your opinion? lol

A different social circle isn't wrong. I never implied that. But it is a fact. By introducing these color patterns, it's clear as daylight that Simpsons is targeting a different social circle. Definitely different than the faux ivory and butterscotch folk.

Had i seen the Rooney ones you mentioned, I would've said the same. This style doesn't appeal to me.
