Post Best Thing EVAR!
Wow! So the most incredible Matango just showed up on my porch a little bit ago! I knew the thing was big, but I wasn't expecting it to be THIS big! As I unwrapped it my jaw went slack and my eyes popped out. It's a ceramic Matango made by Polyestercowboy and it instantly became my favorite piece in my collection. The colors are so vibrant, the sculpt is incredible, the size is awe inspiring...just a great, great piece. Thanks a bunch, Miles!

And for size reference, here he is standing next to what was previously my favorite piece:

Yeah, I highly recommend Miles' work to anyone that's drawn to it - you won't be disappointed. Superb quality all the way around.
The head alone on this guy is massive! Such a fun piece I love having it in my dining room where I'll walk by it multiple times every day.

Nice piece.

Hope you can find your eyes fast... (last time mine popped out, it took me about a week feeling around on the floor to find them).

I've got three of these things and still lust for more. Miles' work is incredible and he keeps getting better at it.

Do yourself a favor and get one of these giant matangos.

I'm glad to see other excited about this! I gotta admit that I opened this thread up several times while at work today so I could have another look. And I was still amazed looking at the bottom picture, seeing just how huge it is! :D
Here's a picture my wife took of me when I unwrapped Matango:
