how does this sculpt, or any sculpt, in general, benefit from simply being enlarged?
this may sound like an odd thing to ask about on a JP toy board, but why should i care more about this size, than the originals? pollards are not some fabled 30 year old toy (although their prices are fabled at this point). i love them, but i don't have a clue why these are desireable to people.
imo, these merely capitalize on the popularity of the originals, nothing more.
and yes, i realize this applies to other toys also. I think the main thing to keep in mind is you can put a tiny pollard in a big pollard. Which adds value, aaaand taste. It's the belly. It's rounder and bigger.
HAHA!!!
best answer, hands down!!
i know i was being a bit cranky, but sometimes i just with they'd leave well enough alone. you may say i'm a dreamer... lol

4 clear
2 blanks
1 painted
I would guess at least 10 more color ways.

I don't think so. Tim is using different people to make his toys now so the little guy is probably off the table. I would love to see some clear mini's.

interesting... but i recall tim said that there was a possibility to make a mini pollard for a japanese store or something? i think he posted that on the limitedaddiction forum long ago. (i don't even check that forum anymore)
who made the mini pollard? i think was the same company who did the mister monster, right? i think is called SEG or something?

So happy, I picked this up on a terrible wi-fi connection at the airport. Just got into the office and its still available. This colorway is such a nice contrast of colors. Can't wait to see it in person.
