I think he's banking on that to happen. He already knows people will over pay for items in his house simply because those items just happen to sit at 14BC for any amount of time.Don't forget to mention that you could create much better Funko Pops in a fraction of the time. Oh, and you're happily married and have great sex while Chris is totally still a virgin, right guys???
Back on topic, I wonder if Chris chose the "past self" figure because its arm is in a certain pose. Maybe it's the closest he could find to his "astral projection" gesture? Maybe it'll be the next Sanic Totem and someone will buy it for $1600? Who knows?
This is just my opinion from what I have read and having autistic family myself, but apparently that work looks perfect to Chris. No joke. Like where we see something that a toddler would be proud of, an autistic person's perception would lead them to believe it to a perfectly sculpted and canon version of whatever it was they were trying to make. A saying that still haunts me to this day from my military days "Perception is Reality". And boy, when I think of CWC, does that saying show up a lot...Jeebus, that "past Chris" Funko looks like it has a botfly in the middle of it's face. How can Chris honestly look at that and think he did a good job? What lazy, shoddy work. I thought Autistic people were supposed to be...Autistic...about details? Oh well. Since when has Chris ever made anything that looked decent?

I don't think Chris thinks it's perfect. Chris doesn't think he's as hot shit as people believe.This is just my opinion from what I have read and having autistic family myself, but apparently that work looks perfect to Chris. No joke.

It's more like... Chris senses there's something off about his ugly creations (or how he himself looks), but he can't put his finger on what's wrong.
Chris went through the process of creating this, doing his best at each step. And the end result is nice enough, but... something's wrong. Oh well, post it and he'll do better next time.
Chris' perception is very fuzzy. (Or, well, he probably can spot the fuckup in this funko pop, but he's probably unsure about how badly it affects the overall results. He's not good at balancing conflicting inputs.)

It's like when people draw Sonichu really well. Chris really likes fan work because it looks way better than he can do. He can't explain why (clean lines, pleasing gradients and shading, better texture, etc), but it gives him way better feelings than his own work does.
But he chimps out when people fuck up small details (like the proper color of Sonichu's shoes) because individual details catch his eye very easily.
Autism affects your ability to handle subtlety.
Beautiful. I won't get (as) upset for people buying these.![]()
These versions (by jmlakin74 on reddit) will always be superior IMO.
Because Chris won't get a red cent out of it?Beautiful. I won't get (as) upset for people buying these.

The slavish yet autism-drenched attempts at replicating the original packaging. The shoddy colouring job. The dogged 'first time lucky' approach to draftsmanship that makes everything look like a junior school art project. The spidery handwriting and lettering. Look all the way back to the very first issue of Sonichu and you'll notice that Chris's art hasn't improved even slightly since then.
Even kids who don't practice their drawing tend to gradually improve over time simply because they've been doing it for so long. It's an almost imperceptible level of progress, but it's there. They slowly learn what looks good and what doesn't. This isn't the case with Chris, and I find that truly painful.
And that's why this "Dimensional Merge" nonsense will likely follow Chris until his dying day: w-e-e-n-s found a way to alter his perception of reality, which was already tenuous at best.A saying that still haunts me to this day from my military days "Perception is Reality".
