Official SDCC 2010 Preview Thread (Spoilers)

About $65 (http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35996).
But remember - this is a mid sized Rangeas.

 

looks like it has only just started...

He should have just stuck with 3-eyed rabbits.

 

oh man. that Barney makes the Charlie Brown look awesome.

 

His stuff has never translated well and that MINDstyle set seemed to bite the dirt pretty early on when they realised no one would buy it. And no it looks like he's given up on even designing anything...yeah just stick some vague boney jaw where the mouth would be on a vector that'll do.

 

Thanks, a.tom.

 

I'm glad to see this sentiment echoed.
He's definitely had some hits but I never really understood most of his efforts.

 

Really??
With respect to your opinion...I absolutely disagree. Ron English is brilliant with the canvas but in regards to the "toy" aspect he fails every time. The rabbit was close but still was just an absolute poor translation. I can't imagine buying the rabbit and saying it was representative of English. I wouldn't waste the money. He's one of those people that just doesn't translate well and he should stick to one medium.

I personally don't like Amanda Vissell's art or toys..however they really go well together. Her toys are a direct translation to her art and work well. It's just nothing that I would personally collect.

 

first 10 inch mc supersizes are pretty awesome imho, cant say they are badly "translated"...
minis are best blind bagged toys in ages.

ron english doesnt seem to care much about toys - sympathetic in a way.

 

ok. the high fructose looks pretty dope. the regular one looks fugly

 

^^^^^^^^^I agree. I thought the regular colorway was downright boring. The frosted to clear is really great and changes my thoughts about the toy entirely. But I'm still not loving the star eyes.

 

The star eyes make me imagine an arbito custom. I bet they'd be more appealing if he painted one.

 

That's a brilliant idea.

 

Arbito does quite well painting his own figures.

 

I went to an art show In jersey City New Jersey where he was signing posters (posters, not even prints) of his Ugly Abe Obama piece. he was charging 65 dollars for his poster signed!?!??! WTF is that about. shoulda spit in his face.

 

If I saw that skull Warhol bust in a gift shop, I would consider buying it. But for anyone to be peddle a fucking skull bust for "designer toy" money is BULLSHIT!

Its 2010, at this point what "political" or "pop" artist hasn't done a fucking skull bust??

 

Oh right it's Warhol...I thought the hair was more Beethoven myself Either way it's shite

Itokin Park X Lamour Baby Huey Resin. 4 available at my signing with Flynn and Katope.

 

^ Killer!

 

Woooah! are the four available going to be painted?

 

Probably. I don't know yet the actual resin color. I mean I could paint one up at the signing.
