Ron English "grin"

I like this..not bad..nothing that special..if it's only $15 bucks like his rabbit guy I might get it to go with the peanuts toys I have

 

they're $95 + shipping i think, 7" tall....
not nearly enough vinyl for what you're paying imo.

 

What are you talking about? Not enough vinyl? We pay that much for 4inch figures. It does seem a little high. I was hopeing for a nice price around $50-$60. I guess I will have to catch a sale somewhere. I really like this figure. Its really gimicky to me. i like it!!!!!! maybe there will be a sick colorway at this years sdcc and I can get it signed?

 

Actually he smiled fairly often. Go to amazon.com and search for The Complete Peanuts, pick a volume, search inside the book, and click "Surprise me" a few times. I'd guess that maybe 5-10% of the random pages it brought up had Charlie Brown smiling.

 

This is based on his painting of the same theme. I havee to see it in teh flesh, but like what I see so far.

 

Ron English will pay Manila a visit this coming Saturday--I hope to meet him in person.

 

I like this for western vinyl, has a garbage pail kid feel to it and a nod to our pop culture here in the states without putting it down like the fat ronald mcdonald.

 

What's he doing in Manila? Par-Ty! heheh

 

WHat do people think of the Obamraham (sp?) bust?

I like the execution, but picked one up and its is lightweight, smaller than the Koxick busts, unarticulated (obviously, but makes it less costly to produce) and seems like not very much for a staggering $200 a pop!!!!!!!!!

LA local can see a bunch of them at De La Barracuda.

 

I like the painting, not the bust.

 

He swung by Manila before his toy launch in HK.

 

The bust is 'meh' for me. It looks less Obama tinted than the actual painting... but as you mentioned Muton, the execution looks all right.

 

Never liked that bust...just didn't seem right compared to the painting.

 

This is probably his best looking figure, but I still wouldnt buy it

 

I like it,came out just like my other peanuts toys,but I will pass due to the price..and obamaham lincoln is just stupid

 

I noticed this on vp, looks to be another figure along the same lines? hiding down in the corner of this photo...(I think the image is from the Manila show)

 

those are the mindstyle minis...there's a "grin" piece in that set as well...but it's not a CB figure...

 

ah i see, thanks for clearing that up.

 

I wish the lighting scheme in this photo:



were just painted onto the toy. I might pick it up then. McFarlane toys did that a few years back when they painted a spawn figure to match the lighting of the character on the spawn #7 cover:



I think matching the lighting Ron English uses would be a huge step towards capturing his style in vinyl.
