    Man, finally have a few minutes to talk about this project. I just wrapped up my side and am ready to send it back to the master mind for the final touches.

    PK is a true magickian, he works so quickly and effortlessly, it's so much fun just to follow him and be amazed by something new every day. The fact he thinks enough of my work to invite me to work on this project is about the biggest compliment I could ever get. Hopefully he will be happy enough with my work that he would ask me to do it again.

    The MVH side of this is just fucking nuts as you would expect. When I saw it I changed my whole concept because I knew my original idea just wouldn't hold up against Rich's work. It was a very intimidating project to be a part of, having never worked at such a large scale before and considering the others involved.

    On to my side, it took me a while to get it there but thanks in part to the input from both Paul and Rich, I couldn't be happier with the result.

    So much thoughtfulness, tribute, and symbolism in this piece, I can't think of any other toy like it. Get ready!

    Hope to get one someday. You guys are all at the top of your game. This project makes total sense, and will go above and beyond all of our expectations.

    Cheers to the Stateside master craftsmen.

    I think I have the same expression as the one on the left most of the time :lol:

    Are there any differences between the bodies?

    You must not be buying enough toys ;) No same body for now. If these do well we will make new heads and bodies.

    Thanks, hope you dig them.

    Also every mouse order has a chance of getting a golden ticket. There are three golden tickets that will be inserted into orders at random. If you find one you can redeem it with me for a prize. Prizes include a one off mouse set a one off Cadaver Kid and a one off mystery figure.

    Just placed an order for the painted set... curious if there's any pics of the matte finish in the product description ?
    I love these little mutants ! Hoping for a glow painted set in the future, because you know....lab mice are most likely exposed to radiation too :razz:

    There will definitely be glow. How can you not have radioactive lab mice. For the matte finish, it's tough to mock up but it's the same finish you see on the Frenzy Bros figures. We think the matte will create a vintage squeaker like feel.

    Was lucky enough to grab one of the micro-run cadaver twins from last night's surprise sale! Anyone else?

    For the archives.

    I will be working on a run of Twins, that will be an assortment of one offs and micro runs. so if you missed this, you will have another chance in a month or two to try your luck.
