Deadbeet

These would look so good under my Christmas tree! Awesome holiday colors!

 

They sorta look like they're shaped to be creepy X-mas ornaments to start w/.

 

They look very festive, and at a good price too...

 

$80 for the pair!?! Sheesh, that's an amazing price! Love it

 

Can't BEET it!

 

wow those went fast

 

Don't know what you guys think but honestly i think that Mr Leecifer did an amazing job on these guys, im gonna need a little bit of help getting one from SDCC.

 

Looking forward to this one.

 

How many runs of this toy where painted vs. unpainted ?

I cant remember any painted runs. Not micro runs by other artist, rather a factory run either painted by Scott or directed by Scott for a factory to use.

 

I would say 50/50 if not more painted runs

There is runs by:
Skinner
Mark Nagata
SpankyStokes
Grody Shogun
Leecifer
Nebulon5
and Scott itself as far as I know.

 

^^

 

The 4 or 5 runs I painted were all directed by Scott. I guess that technically makes me his factory painter... although not really.

 

Can't find a pic but I remember the only ones he painted himself were the Ancient Garden from his show with Leecifer at Giant Robot last year.

 

This guy I believe?

 

So no one really knows, and maybe 1 so far ?

How many unpainted releases ?

 

To my knowledge thats the only one painted by Scott and theres been 0 factory paints, everything has been micro runs.

Unpainted? I could think of 8 off the top of my head but counted 13 or 14 on this thread including the new clear green/gid marble

 

good thing the one person who could give a definitive answer was chased away, torches & pitchforks in hand.

 

The influx of American artists producing Sofubi figures in Japan drew a ton of criticism here, but is seemingly becoming more accepted.

I enjoy Tollesons work, especially his newer stuff "Trayjus" and "Malicus"

Please somebody agree with me that traditionally western toy artists branching off into Eastern vinyl production is FAR less offensive than FUKNO slapping the words "Japanese Vinyl" and "Sofubi" on their mass produced, Chinese made Ninja Turtles...

 

As I recall the criticism was mainly directed at their sudden appearance solely to pimp their shit to a ready-made marketplace, with zero contribution to the forum or interest in Japanese vinyl other than to make a fast buck from it.

With less shit to pimp they went away . . . kinda confirming that theory.

 

Agree

 

That was only part of the argument, and as i recall it was mostly coming from you...surprise

 

Scott's fine just crazy crazy busy. Yeah I'm really digging his new pieces too. Cool that he's sculpting his own stuff.

 

I like the some of the figures that he's doing lately, especially the pieces he did for Clutter and I'm glad he's getting away form the cute stuff. But the piece he did of the half naked lady that he's releasing at STGCC with Pobber Toys doesn't make sense to me. Not sure where he's going with that.
But alas, that has nothing to do with Deadbeets....

 

I believe the same tactic is also being used by one-trick pony painters too!

 

Oh look! You changed your name. That's cute.

To answer Rich's question. I can't tell you how many unpainted releases there have been. As for as factory painted releases, there has been 1. The Haunted Carrot. Why do you ask?
