Post Le Merde@Gargamel?
I don't know if this would be better off in the Japan section, but does anyone have any news about the Le Merde show coming up @Thrashout JP?

Yeah, I'm wondering what the heck this is too. Those bear-like doodles look like some T9G going on there! Can't wait to see some of the great magical Le Merde to come out from this!

Yeah thanks Dril, I checked out the flickr and there are some new photos up of headers? (I'm not sure, but regardless they are numbered) of the Matter Cruncher and Terry Poupier... Maybe we'll get some new Terry Resins out of this show...

I know, that is INSANE... I wonder if it's a resin piece or Japan Vinyl? There isn't a G on the foot so if it is vinyl it's not a Gargamel sculpt... Does It say Made in Jupan.?.?

You like to assume a lot huh :lol:

I'll will to bet it's sculpted by gargamel, that is their writing style. And judging by the wax color its probably vinyl.

From "the sun," only about 93 million miles. :lol:

Judging by the stuff on Mike's flickr, it's a trip that would probably be with it.
