(Anybody else getting dejavu looking at the boards the past few weeks?? There's a bunch of toy makers out there that don't have their own threads so here's a few to start up some fresh discussion around these dusty shelves..) This little guy is packed full of details - I can't stop looking at it. There's a new head for the Mimi body and a brand new Pig Man sculpt coming out later this year. Perfect toy to carry around in your pocket!!

I was having issues with my image hosting earlier - here's the Pig Man sculpt I mentioned before.

I love the Mimi Monster toy. Such a fun, playful and detailed sculpt. As with many other toys I favor, the expression on this little dripper's face is awesome.  Splurrt paint:

Wasn't really into this sculpt at first, but man both the marbled and the run that Joe painted have won me over. And your pictures certainly do them justice Robert! |

Pig-man sculpt really reminds me of this classic:  but of course there are differences. |

The figure is more like 5.5" - 6" I only have one figure and it happens to to be the green one from the lottery a few months back. I like the goofy one eye and the skeleton back. The customs that I have seen as of late have been killer and look better than unpainted, but that's just my opinion. |

I love the Mimi sculpt I just feel like the price point is kind of ridiculous. It's a two pull vinyl and it cost triple digits prices. Just doesn't add up to me. But knowing me I will cave and buy at least one lol |

Yep. Hate to be a cheapskate, but price has certainly kept me from buying one. I just don't get it. Also, while I'm nitpicking I think to enter some of the lotteries you had to post on IG to enter. That's dumb. |

I looked around but failed miserably. I like all the new toy threads here but NONE of them seem to have links to the makers or any info like that at all. |

They are $110. At least that is what I paid for an unpainted green. |

I'm cheap (okay, I'm really just broke) so I sort of have a "$10 per inch of vinyl" rule. Sometimes I rock that rule like a boss. Sometimes I break it by a little because I love the sculpt so much. I think Mimi is an adorably vile little dude/dudette (especially that yellow!!!), but I just can't rationalize that pricing at this time.

I would consider paying that for a very pretty marbled version, maybe. If this was priced at half that or less I would probably try to build a little evil army of them. I guess 100 bucks for a new toy seems like a breaking point I avoid for no particular reason. |

These are cool but as has been stated I don't understand the pricing at all.. I paid a bit recently for a new toy ($120?) but it was 8" and came with 2 masks and a small accessory , all painted... I guess its how an artists values their own work rather than according to cost and things like that I guess.. Anyway, cool toy. |

Yeah, I really dig Tan's work, but the prices seem....unfair? That pigman sculpt is FUCKING AWESOME, but I think it was going for $280 + shipping and it's 6" x 6"

Correction: At the time of my purchase it was $110 + shipping. After searching around some more it looks like the price jumped to $120 + shipping. |
