    Surprised to find no thread on this impish marvel, thus far... so let's go.

    I'm not on IG, I just lurk there; sorry if these are already old news to some of youse.
    LOVE this picture. I don't know what all those crash cymbals with Bernie faces in 'em are... maybe the lil' dude's a drummer? :razz:

    And this... THIS... holy hell. I liked the Bernie sculpt a whole lot before, but seeing this pic today is where he truly, finally locked in for me.
    Each one a gem. Want a better look at Mr. Dark Rims in the back!

    Thanks for getting a thread going for this little guy! He's a great looking sculpt. As awesome as Rich's larger toys are, this little dude looks like a lot of fun. I'm really excited to see how these paint masks go!

    Pretty fun, little dude in hand. Nice pocketable size, as well. The red painted run is the best release so far, in my opinion.

    He reminds me of a classic brand mascot of the 50s or 60s... easy to see in the purple one on the left in the second pic up top. I can imagine him on a can of some industrial or automotive chemical product. Or on a big tin sign for tires.

    Those are most likely the masks Rich uses to paint specific faces/eyes for Bernie.

    Edit: the cymbal lookin things, I mean

    Bernie is such a fun figure. His large eyes just makes you stare at him. I was honored to have won one of the Instagram riddle Bernie's

    Absolutely in love with Bernie. Such an awesome smooth and clean sculpt. Very appealing size and great personality. For sure one of my faves. God this thread got started.

    Great shot @HardDragon! Such a good drop, the clear vinyl on top of the marbled blew my mind when it was first teased. Bummed I missed out on this one!

    Thanks man! Shirahama did a killer job with these. As he does with most. He is a marble master.

    A well deserved thread. Bernie I think hits on so many levels and brings your diversity in sculpting to the table. I can't wait to check out the ones with painted faces useing the mask. That Green head you teased looked insane with the starburst eyes.

    Absolute stunner this one is. Play D&D till the A.M. What a great painted version of my favorite little gremlin.

    So is this guy selling these as an optional set, or did they really get four pieces in the MVH shop drop? And $1000.00? SMH

    looks like an optional set to me. I was closely looking at staple location. those pictured in both auctions are the same, he could have 4, but hes only photographed the same 2, and the individuals started at $649.99 he dropped it $50 in less than 3 days lol.

    That's a steal. You save the actual retail by purchasing both!
