PTPP Drop Sizes

It’s pull the plug. They think they can do everything bigger then better than every other distro with relatively declining results over time. Don’t get me wrong they’ve made some amazing patches and I own quite a collection, but as of late it’s definitely declined due to sheer quantity to try to live up to their hype.

It does seem like they're becoming the Wal-Mart of the patch market.
I stick to smaller distros because I hate gimmicky shaped patches and I feel like they overcharge for their product.
$10+ for small patches that aren't even rare? Get the fuck outta here.

I remember when they first started and it was exclusively death metal and very small drops of just patches.

I actually like some of pull the plugs stuff, they made some patches with designs that probably wouldn’t be made otherwise by razamatazz or other distros/bootleggers.

I don’t really mind the drop size but some people hoard them and expect to trade PTP patches for vintage patches which seems kind of crazy to me lol

Drops are way to big im sick of seeing ptpp every damn show i go to and i used to be a really big fan... lots of their designs are really lazy now anyways with the occasional good patch in there i really miss old ptpp. Support the smaller distros that still put care and thought into their patches.

Honesty, I prefer support smaller distros. PTPP are now enough big patch distro and have a lot of fans that buys every ugly shaped that they release and its ok 👍🏼 their money, their choice. But not me. Im only on the hunt for few designs now.

In my opinion the last couple drops have been way to big, I only wanted about 2 patches from each but I feel like the design quality has dropped a bit. If I did want more than that it would be difficult because they're relatively expensive, but most designs sell out really quickly because of scalpers.

They also went back on their whole "no reprints, once its gone its gone" thing, coupled with the constant shit talking of other distros who (mostly) mind their own busines and make bootlegs, because PTPP has never made a bootleg.

Shapes are nice but I also want something that wil fit on my vest, where am I supposed to put a penis shaped Limp Bizkit patch?

When i look at their instagram I see fans who are buying like $50 worth of patches every drop, I think vests and patches are becoming a bit of a consumer hobby. There are a lot of people building a million vests fully covered in PTPP, it's like the metalhead version of collecting star wars toys.

Semi related but ive grown sick and tired of this distro. Flat out ugly ass patch designs, artificial rarity bs, scalpers... ptp hasnt been about the music in a good while. And Simons attitude and fragile ego continues to baffle me. Havent bought from them in a good 1.5 years and i dont think ill ever order from them again.

Loved them back 2018-2019.

PTPP stands for everything, that is wrong in the current "patch game". So yes, the drops are too large.

They do have a large customer base. So, hate to say this, but if there's a demand, reproducing does help those who want those patches so they don't have to turn to people who are marking them up. Am just speaking from a business perspective.

Personally, they've made some patches I found very useful. Am not exactly a fan of shaped patches but some came in useful. Their square patches aren't bad. I've gotten patches from a bunch of distros. If you don't like the product, don't buy.

Drops are too large and they are saturating their once-great portfolio with random bands & designs some of which are so obscure that I don't even think their newer crowd goes after them. The artificial rarity argument is very true with newer ideas they are trying to promote, which is why their comic book sets don't and will not sell out even as time goes by.

Another thing I noticed is that whenever another, usually smaller, distro unveils a new design, ptpp will almost immediately try to match it with their own design of the same band/album.

Pull the Plug Patches??? More like pull the butt plug!
