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.
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.
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.
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....
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?
