I love the resin, but there's something about this that doesn't feel the same.... kinda looks a bit too husky in the thighs perhaps?

Execution/style/pose/ is awesome. That being said the character does zero for me. I do hope it's a success. Anything gargamel is a win.

I love it... mostly because this reminds me of a character from one of my favorite books as a kiddo.

Wouldnt doubt that its the inspiration. It looks great but the legs do seem a bit off compared to the resin version

Duckula was such a great cartoon. Even funnier to me when my Dad explained what a vegetarian is.

Being sculpted for articulated vinyl probably bulked it out. The body of the original resin figure was most likely from an existing toy - most Healey resin figures are mash-ups.

Is it gargamel or is it just sculpted by them? Not sure it is a collab.

I think this translation from resin to vinyl turned out great. Can't wait to have one in-hand.

I agree and the same can be said for the cave guard/ghroul , fantastic resin, loads of cool details, but the vinyl flopped in my opinion

Better late than never, right? I picked this piece up at NYCC from the Mishka booth. One-off painted by Naoya of Gargamel, who also sculpted it from what I understand. Definitely one of my favorite pieces.


A few more pics on my imgur here: http://imgur.com/a/Z0mhR

Ooh that is super nice! Can't believe I haven't seen pics of that from NYCC. Been wondering what one of these would looked like all painted up. I hope there's another release soon. Haven't been able to snag one yet.

This is exactly it, if the legs were smaller it would be hard to pull from the mold and you'd end up with a lot of stretched toys. Thin legs with long feet are usually difficult and some factories won't even do it because of the difficulty.

Post Re: HealeyxGargamel
When Naoya posted this custom to his Instagram, I fell in love. When I read that it would be available at NYCC this year, I knew I had to have it...

I only had a Thursday pass, so I made it my mission to try and get this piece. I went to the Mishka booth several times and even tracked down Mr. Healey himself to inquire. It finally arrived later in the day before my final trip back to check the Mishka booth one last time.


I'm really happy to have added this beautifully detailed custom to my collection along with the custom I picked up last year at NYCC. I wonder what fortune next year will hold? Can Naoya possibly outdo himself again?? Only time will tell.

See you next year... :lol:
