Prenute by Tim Biskup

Pronounced Pree-noot.
Prenute is Gravy Toys first non-bwana vinyl. Sculpted and created by Tim Biskup.
All we have right now is the first test shot. pre-orders for the first version. Birth of Prenute is now up on Gravy.
here's a magic question. How many years since Tim's last new sculpt? My brain says six. What does yours say?

 

here's a pic of the original sculpt I took a while back.

 

Unbelievable news, Bwana!!! Prenute is very CUTE! Tim Biskup creates characters full of personality and Prenute is no exception... Feeling excited with Biskup comeback!!! \ /

 

Huge Biskup fan, this looks great!

 

Yay! I'm in

 

Not what I was expecting of this collaboration.
It's so surprising, so different, so already ordered : )

+ Bonus points to Bwana for keeping shipping price down for us gaijin !

 

Yeah, baby! I love this little guy.

 

Can't wait to have this guy in my grubby little paws! Also excited to read that more surprises are coming.

 

Prenute would look great in that watermelon marble youve used recently.
Has the feel of a buta sculpt, which is a very good thing in my book.
Ill definitely want one when I see a color that catches my eye.

 

These look insanely cool and fun. Just ordered what an awesome Easter present!

Buta meets Gumby-me likey.

 

^ That's a great description for this guy.

 

Buta meats gumby. That's a good one. This was sculpted ages ago, I think I mentally tricked Tim into using this beast as his contribution to the gravy line. As I had spied this several times, sending little mental vibes to him about how this should be vinyl. Or maybe he just tricked me into making this...

He thinks this was sculpted almost 10 years ago. Pre buta peanuts. He was collecting a lot of Buta and U.S. toys at the time though. I'm guessing it's more like 7 years... but all our time lines get a little fuzzy.

Really stoked about the reception on this guy.

 

I don't get the peanut vibe. It reminds me more of that little bronze sculpt he did or ghonner but with legs. It's pretty cool. Curious to see how it will look painted.

 

It almost has the feel of those african clay or wooden sculptures you see in museums and galleries except instead of being based of african culture it's totally alien. Like it should be sitting in a museum on planet zeta-alpha-79 or something.

 

I love it! and I'm really excited about a biskup comeback.
So will the next few releases also be biskup?

 

How would you pronounce this guys name, Bwana?
Really digging it.

 

It's literally the first sentence of the thread.

 

^^HAHA, fuck!

I cant be bothered to re-read things I read days ago and forgot already!!

 

I also see the african sculpture/cubist reference, and couldn't be more excited to see tim back!

 

How do you pronounce the name of this guy?
