I can't wait for these!!! (just look at my avatar)

 

I'll be there... Personally, I just can't get past the "man hands" so I'm picking one up for Jordan23 on the KR board.

 

Was going to drive up for the hell of it, but now I get to host corporate from one of the giant club chains. Bitchin'

 

Loco, do you what to grab dinner afterwards? I think it is my turn to pay.

 

Sure!

 

I will be there at about 5:30, when do you plan to show up?

 

I wish! I love Mr. Flores' art, although the figures just aren't my thing. They are amazing though! Enjoy!!

 

nice figure. too bad i am not in the area. i am sure it will be a fun time for all

 

Probably around then... depends on traffic and weather...

 

I don't think this figure is going to be all that well-received, except among people who are already fans of the artist's work. The Tiger Baby design had much broader appeal.

 

to anyone who's going to the signing, I'd like to see some pics/hear some news about what was there. Thanks!

 

I will post tonight when I get home.

 

they sold 8 of the black colorway tonight. the rest will go up on Sam's site later. There was one custom "supergirl" fatima, and more customs to come tomorrow. I was promise one so I will post picture here when I get my custom.

Thanks for having dogs and beer with us Keith.

 

Dogs and beer are always a good thing. Especially when the big yellow dogs walk up to you.

I think only 4 of the black colorways got into the hands of the general public...

 

really? Dam!

 

I have a feeling that the one on ebay is one of the ones that were sold before the doors even opened... one guy walked away with two signed black ones.

 

Cool stuff! Love to see the custom!

 

up for sale

shit...
was the black up for sale on the site? i see it says sold out

 

I don't think it was actually up for sale... maybe just to show what it looks like.

I see that all the yellows sold out.

 

ok...i will stop yelling at my co-workers for making me help them on a tough case

 

Sam's art is pretty cool, but I'm not feeling these at all. There foreheads look retarded. The two with bangs and flowers on top aren't so bad though. But they're still a step down from the tigerbaby, IMO.

 

I like the look of this toy but it is very cheaply made. I think it is a big step down from the tigerbaby purely based on vinyl quality. Fatima feels like a toilet plunger.

I still want them all but I am disappointed. I hope all of Ning’s toys are not made this cheaply.

 

Just curious; who made the tigerbabies?

 

strangeco i think.
