    So does anyone have the inside scoop on tkom? Will he ever get back to toys? All his gallery shows have been wild and the new subject matter would translate well to his take on vinyl toys but I haven't seen him mention the medium in ages.

    Too much work with not enough return?

    He did an edition of 30 of his dragon (Just under 12 Inches) in Bronze. Price was nearly $6,500.

    I'd be somewhat surprised if he comes back to toys anytime soon. I agree, would love to see some of his new stuff in vinyl.

    I saw that. They were great and the price made me shit a little.

    I wonder what galleries take as a standard cut. That's 78,000 without their cut. Craziness.

    But also good for him. He deserves it.

    Rocky came out a year and a half ago/two years?

    Certain creators have gaps... but I can see why he would want to stop...selling NFT's and statues creates way more revenue.

    I still want a demogorgan but refuse to pay those prices.

    Galleries generally take around 50% for artwork. In this case, Avante Art assisted in the bronze casting but unsure how that changes any numbers.

    Tkom did release his little "Rocky" figure as well as Vol.2 of the mini Gerorin figure over the past couple years. Hopefully something soon but most his pieces are very small runs so not feeling great about the possibility.

    Last week Tkom Factory IG Account showed an image of metal casting clearly implying some sort of vinyl release in the future...TBD
