Frankenfink - By Johnny Ace and Garageworks

I just got one of these on Pre-Order too. Awesome, can't wait for Halloween.

 

me too...The Fink and The Creature can now stand guard over...my stuff. Or something.

Monday!

 

Saw that on VP aswell. Will be gettin one when it releases.

 

I know originally, this was supposed to release about today, I have one on pre-order and did the downpay but haven't heard anything yet about the release, or gotten an invoice to pay for the rest. Anyone know what's going on with Frankenfink?

 

Personally I'm super stoked this is coming out. Johnny and his lady are great people. I've had the pleasure of working with them both on album cover art and whatnot and he's a really great guy with a great low brow style all his own. I especially love all of the girly zombie shit he does, which is Kali most of the time. If I'm not mistaken, Johnny was given the rights to Roth's catalog by his wife.

 

Also very much looking forward to this. I guess we should just drop an email to the address we got the preorder invoice from? Maybe? Anybody got any better ideas?

 

Nope... sounds good. Could you let us know what they say?

 

Got this from their blog, no clue about the secret figure.

After extensive amount of time & development with Johnny Ace & Kali,
"Franken Fink" is finally ready to expose. We have to say Franken FInk
is one of the most highly detailed vinyl figure we have ever produced.
There are over 200 spray molds process & each individual figure is fully
handcrafted in prestige. Due to massive inquiries there will be secret
edition coming out. Confirmed released date on November 31, 08.
For further ordering info, please go to: info@garageworksindustries.com

I sent them an email too I'll post their response if no one beats me to it.

 

This is what I got. Pretty exciting:

Also got this screenshot. Not sure if it's on the Blog too or not...



Can't fucking wait.

 

Looks amazing. Maybe the toy of the year, in my opinion.

 

sweet mother of god.......^^^^

 

+1 I guess Kustom Kulture can't all be faux Rockabilly/Bettie Page clones.

 

Second that! Don't get me wrong I love that look but sheesh some girls don't wear it well at all....

 

Can't really tell from the glare on the babypod, but it looks like Mr. Fink is straight hitting the bong yo.

Retarded.

 

I think its supposed to be a rattle... but who knows?

 

OUCH! You guys are tough, isn't she just pregnant (hence the rattle in Finks hands, also makes me assume it's not actually a tattoo?) I mean, Von Dutch is lame as hell, but otherwise she just looks like a normal pregnant lady to me with some belly paint, Fink style, going on.

 

I got the paint vibe too, which, taken out of coolguy-where's-news-on-frankenfink-mode is a different animal than an out-and-out tattoo.

The rattle thing is way cooler than it being a bong, an idea which I despise. Rat Fink huffs glue, not weed.

I guess any gal who's down with Rat Fink has an immediate leg up on one who isn't. That axiom does not, however, work the same for dudes who love band logos:

 

Psssht Dangerous Toys is above Dio.... this guy is a poseur.

 

That's one of my favorite tattoo pics of all time. Like the guy just aid "See this denim jacket dude?! I want that, on my back" and handed over his crappy, patched up, weed smelling denim.

 

Nothing says "badass" like a Firehouse tattoo.

I remember slow-dancing to this with some chick at tennis camp.

 

Sorry to derail things ( ) but did anyone get the Frankenfink fig in hand yet?

 

They said the release was pushed back to Nov 31st. and that they'd be sending the paypal invoices on the 15th. I never got the invoice, so I'm wondering if it will be pushed back again

 

Just got this message attached to my remaining-balance invoice from Garage Works:

Getting excited...

 

Ouch... even though I knew it was coming that 200 bucks just hurt.

It will be worth it though
