Leeeeee Toys
(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 guy has only popped up in the past couple of months.. I've yet to see one in person but it's really intrigueing.. The CPK/GPK style head really grabs my attention. Looks like a fun toy - real departure from the horror-core style of a lot of releases at the moment.
Following this nut on the grammies. Looks flipping awesomesausage. But haven't seen one in person and don't know yet if it's a regular cool guy toy 40 - 60 bucks. Or hypeturds 100 bucks ultra you can't have one style. Hoping it's the regular cool guy style:)

Seemed pretty simple and straightforward to me. I'll help you out anyway though.
"I have been following this new vinyl toy maker on the popular social media app called instagram. It is a very appealing toy to look at! I have yet to see one in person so I am unsure whether it is an affordable toy in the 40 to 60 dollar price range which I usually appreciate. Or if it's over the 100 dollar threshold which I believe is too expensive and besides making the toy difficult to acquire it would also make me question the character of the toy maker as well. I am hoping it will be priced fairly so that I may collect it myself."

Sorry old chap! I just wasn't picking up on your lingo!
On the topic of Leeeeeeeeeee Toys, I really like the surreal aspects of them. They remind me of "Don't hug me I'm scared"

Well I just found said IG through you and they even did two giveaways.. I think that's really cool instead of just going straight to sales or lottery.. But everything about this makes me think either someone is having a lot of fun or someone being really good at faking it.
It reminds me of Dehara a bit.. And the comics remind me of Joan Cornellá . both works I enjoy.

What he said. And agreed with what Leili says, and also understood about the "what" what the other guy said, but i think the wording is as they say "on point" with the goofiness of this toy which from what I have seen, am pretty stoked on.

Re: Leeeeee Toys
Thanks for starting this thread Glenn (I think.) I have also been following Leeeee on instagram and have become smitten by the musclebound girl and guy figures. I think it was the butterfly hands that pushed me over the edge.

I've been following their ig since I came across it -- Really loving the bizarre design.
Back in February, I inquired about their projected release date and they said there wasn't one set yet but that they had planned to start taking orders in March. That hasn't happened, so I'm assuming they're running a little behind, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

It looks like as of early April they are gearing up for the first official release ? But no word since. I hope they do blank releases as well. Anyway, hopefully something we can all take part in!

Re: Leeeeee Toys
I've been messaging them. I love this toy so much. It evokes such a primal feeling for me I can't explain it. They plan on having a painted release very soon.
I'm hoping under a hundred bucks.

Dude that's the best. When you get that instinctual "I NEED THAT" feeling. I get that from TKOM Doublethinks. They get my Jimmies all in a rustle.

Re: Leeeeee Toys
For everyone who was curious it looks like they are for sale now at $120 bucks a pop with 111 figures for sale. At 8.5 inches they are bigger then I imagined they would be and with 111 up for grabs maybe there is probably enough to go around. I am going to wait and hope a blank comes out at a lower price eventually but the paint on this release is pretty fun I think.

Ordered mine yesterday!I really love this original crazy weird look they created for this toy. I think this company will become very popular, and can't wait to see what else they come up with in future.

Kinda kickass, I have to say, that the heads are masks and the groin covers are swapable:

Re: Leeeeee Toys
While this isn't something I'd personally add to my collection, Earthly is just... I don't know. And I think that's why it's so great, it's so "out there" and strange that I can't compare it to anything else. I mean, who sits there going "I'm going to make a ripped Earth-headed butterfly-handed thing with swappable dollie heads and crotch covers"? A genius, that's who.
After every fucking newcomer making a rotting zombie, it is so damn refreshing to see something "alive" and vibrant.

Re: Leeeeee Toys
^ Agreed. A bit too creepy for my collection but the creativity is hitting all the right points for me! Love the idea of the masks and great product shots.
