 Re: "cute " vinyls
Hahaha, now that is plenty creepy. I also have not noticed the 'anatomical correctness' before in other kewpies. Interesting find indeed.

 Re: "cute " vinyls
I picked up this guy over the holidays at a tiny shop in the middle of nowhere. I think it is actually 99% creepy, and not cute at all (I can see this inspiring many childhood nightmares), but I just had to grab it. I really wish my camera could do it justice, but it is so hard to photograph the detail on orange vinyl. Anyways, you can really see the seed inspiration for a lot of artists/designers these days.

 Re: "cute " vinyls
^ is that true? finally, some real info! it has no markings other than a generic "tsuburaya prod" sticker, so it's been difficult to try to track down release information. thanks! and with the help of that useful tidbit, here's a bit more info (about halfway down the page): http://www.inukuma.com/seihin98.htm

 Re: "cute " vinyls
Yeah I dig Inukuma, I wish they would do GID versions of their minis. Their mascot version is very cute too. Inu=Dog Kuma=Bear. Also from website:

 Re: "cute " vinyls
^^^^ I love that orange slab of vinyl too.
I think the big black eyes and the scarf around the mum's head adds to the creepiness factor. I like how crude molding can sometimes add to a sculpts charm. Nice score!

 Re: "cute " vinyls
The Moog likes one of my toys! You know you've made it when the Moog likes your toy.
Don't know who it's made by (sorry). Squeaky toys for the most part are boxed up and put away (12 inch Disney's the exception). Photos are several years old.
