Re: MISHKA
Really dig the new sculpt. And oddly, my favorite part are the arms. I love how long and gangly they are. Its like you were trying to capture that awkward oldschool Harry H. clay animation look. Stunning sculpt all around. I can't wait to buy one.

Re: MISHKA
I was just looking through some old threads and found this. I wonder if this is the same sculpt or something that inspired them to do the new one. Greg Mishka wrote: LamourSupreme wrote: does anyone know who made this and if it ever dropped? I thought it was Gorilla Ju guy but I'm not sure. I think its called, Kaliman. Not sure who released it or if it ever dropped, but its SICK! EDIT: I had a couple people hit me up about this saying that they thought it was sketchy that Greg and Joel acted like they didn't know what this was. I wasn't trying to imply anything negative at all by pointing this out, I just thought it was interesting!

Re: MISHKA
That'd be great Rich. A couple years ago when he was more active and had the website I was sure it would happen. Heck...I love to see him do a run of prints of this awesome Bemon poster... http://www.flickr.com/photos/gonzo_gates/3017102608/in/photostream

I thought that this was always intentional? I mean they pretty much took oculus orbit, horn head and other nods to madballs aka "mishka bootleg/ madball popper"....tweaked it and made it their own. I don't know if they've ever stated it but it seems pretty obvious that the toys aren't totally original in any way. Didn't they just make a new toy based off that teen movie Scream?

Re: MISHKA
Just another monkey, whats the big deal?
I thought the sculpt looked ok. Nothing wrong with making toys that people will want to buy, not that I would. But theres something for everyone.

I don't know if they've ever stated it but it seems pretty obvious that the toys aren't totally original in any way. actually mishka did quite a lot changes, new figure has totally new feel to it imho. what about gorilla yu - thread where quotes have been taken from??? not much more than just blown up version of vintage character, still good enough to me, totally love gorilla yu. anyway some more info on two head ape would be much appreciated!!! propobably im totally wrong, but looks more like a proto rather than a vintage figure to me...

Re: MISHKA
it's either an homage or completely original & they were just hyping their toy on the low.

It's gone through some changes but I think it's going to be sick when it comes out in vinyl form. It's going to be 13" big! See you at the Mishka LA calendar release Friday and DCon Sat. Lovin the new sculpt dude. I think I'm going to need to buy that mask now

Re: MISHKA
I bought one of these from the Mishka booth at Designer Con. I really like the "Heavens Gate" reference, it's pretty creepy.
