I think we should sign up TiredChildren as #3 to split the set. :twisted: Unless he's planning on getting the whole thing.

Soaky Monster-Nik madness. Definitely need a set of these.
Thin resin will break like a candy cane.

the rotocasted resin is still tough as nails. i have a soakie that he made and while i was painting it dropped it on concrete and it didnt even chip. the rotocast is still pretty thick and has a nice heft to it, but definitely for its size it remains lightweight in the resin world.

resin rules! it blends in nicely with your other toys

On the resin vs vinyl debate...as someone who has done resin at factory I say this: It's the design you're buying not the material, if you're buying shit for the material and not the design then WTF!? Are you kinky? Play with the stuff, don't PLAY with the stuff.
I could show you heaps of resin toys that sell out and heaps of vinyl where they didn't sell more than ten and that was probably to friends. You buy shit because it looks good and appeals to you not because of what it's made of no matter what you tell yourself or those around you. You show me a hot resin toy and a shitty vinyl version of same, I'll buy the resin.

These are awesome, if they were sold as singles I'd be all over the Creature but I'm in the middle of production so can't blow big dollars on toys. I wonder if there's a scaled up rock-em sock-em robots head that would fit on those kewpies?

There is a difference between resin and vinyl no doubt, but I am not sure how you can tell the difference when its sitting on a shelf. If I could make vinyl toys in my dining room I would but I can so for now its resin. I may also try neoprene in the future.

These pewkies are hard, on the first rotocast I found to many week spots, so I did a second rotocast. I guess that makes them double rotocast. I won't call them indestructable, but the only way they are gonna break is if you try to break them. They are heavier than my previous castings, and more solid than a vinyl figure but unless you are displaying them on a scale it shouldn't matter.

I collect weird stuff whatever its made out of, if vinyl is your thing thats fine, more for me.

/\/\ Matty I have already considered doing a robot set, but rockem sockem would be great.

having a very small collection and still no real place to have it on nice display, I enjoy handling cool toys much more than just setting them up and looking at them, that's why I have hardly any resins

these are pretty neat though, if I weren't broke and there were more available in darker shades I would be pretty tempted. the less pale blue body that has a yellow creature head is my favorite color in there

I was never a fan of resin, until I saw what Happiness Bastard was doing with it. Now I'm hooked!

When I get some more made I'll give a heads up, maybe a preorder for singles next time. Since not everyone wanted a set
