Tim Biskup's Big Pollard Vermillion Brothers #1

Coming out January 26. It's so pretty.

 

i feel like i should always pick one up

then never do
and the clears are gone gone gone

 

Don't hesitate to pick one up man. I have a clear red and I'm kicking myself for not getting the whole set.

 

so sick!

hopefully not a replay of that Kaws fiasco! my forehead still has a bump on it from hitting it against the keyboard over and over....

 

Any details where?

 

Pollards are one of my favorites, cant get enough. This is a must on my list.

Sweet thanx. That just got marked down on my calendar.

 

heres both for anyone who hasnt seen:


Im not sure if I like the silver lips so I might wait for #2, I do like the blue eyes though.

 

Same manf as the clear - "sculpted by Tim & cleaned up by Kiyoka Ikeda from Gargamel Toy Company"(!!!)

 

Somebody go and crash Vinyl Pulse for a couple of weeks.

 

so how big are these anyway? size comparisons?

 

If I recall, aren't these going to be made in a fairly large quantity? If so, we'll all be able to score!

By the way - these figures are really great - I love my clear set!

 

Was there a floplist mailing in this? It seems like i've missed out on their last few mailings

 

These are gorgeous!

 

250 made

 

man I like the one with the blue spray on his tail. hope I can score one. does anyone know what retail on these is going to be??

 

I think they are $100 each.

 

i can't say i like these.

how does this sculpt, or any sculpt, in general, benefit from simply being enlarged?

this may sound like an odd thing to ask about on a JP toy board, but why should i care more about this size, than the originals? pollards are not some fabled 30 year old toy (although their prices are fabled at this point). i love them, but i don't have a clue why these are desireable to people.

imo, these merely capitalize on the popularity of the originals, nothing more.

and yes, i realize this applies to other toys also.

 

Are these just enlarged from the original scuplt? I thought it was a brand new scuplt entirely?

I like the original pollards, they are classic, but I can't afford them at the prices they go for now. Plus i always wished they were a little bigger. These new pollards are a perfect size for me and somewhat more affordable than the originals. Still, i wouldn't mind collecting the smaller ones if i had the money.

 

Personally I'm liking 'em because they sit so well with the Gamagons, offset perfectly with the Dorbels and Zags . . . it's a pseudo-godzilla display kinda thang!

The originals were cute but minis just ain't floating my boat as much these days (even if I could afford 'em!).

Magic 8-Ball says . . . 'chances are slim!'

 

Bigger is better!

And it is a pretty different sculpt, too. Plus, it's articulated, while the minis are not. I love them both for different reasons.

 

yeah

I think the main thing to keep in mind is you can put a tiny pollard in a big pollard. Which adds value, aaaand taste. It's the belly. It's rounder and bigger.

 

I like the big sculpt, though it doesn't quite have the style points of the smaller one. What I really miss is the reversed teardrop-pupils from the smaller one, which may be why I passed up on the clears (no eyes at all make them look like zombies to me). And I know neither one has anything on top of the head, but when I see the bigger one I think "Bald!"

 

Me want.
