Regular is absolutely cool!!! Unfortunately, never heard of shi gan dang before!!!
this thing isn’t at all representational. but it is the coolest instance…
I like the regular, he needs to stand out to do his job lol, and the regular sure stands out more,
he’s an upstanding member of the community
I voted for regular and I think this is just the cutest thing ever,
good thing you aren’t an evil spirit
Went with regular and not familiar. But I would like to know more.
not much more to say… they’re a feng shui thing
Hahaha…exactly! I would wonder whether it is a sign or shi gan dang when I come across it.
It can even fit as a Halloween sign.
make it work double time
honestly had not heard of this, regular works for me….
dunno why I underexposed the other one
who knows, well the shadow knows but he closed his Virily account.
the weed of crime bears bitter fruit- crime does NOT pay!
crime does not pay I forgot that line.
I like the regular one and I have have never heard about it.
you’ve probably seen the plaques and not realized their meaning…
Yes, it might be the case.
from now on, whenever you see a plaque with Asian characters on it, you’ll have to wonder if it is a street sign or shi gan dang
Hahaha…exactly! I would wonder whether it is a sign or shi gan dang when I come across it.
It can even fit as a Halloween sign.
He is cool looking. I would to have him in my collection.
he would totally protect you from evil spirits
I will have to look for him or maybe he will come to me on his on.
wouldn’t that be something?
That would be something. I live in the United States and he is not an easy find here.
