    Sorry, I didn't read the 94 pages of this thread. That toy is rad. Carnival pickled punks / Ripley's. Gross Americana!! I liked the other Splurrt but I don't collect smiles. :x Looking forward to owning this one.

    Man Joe you did such a great job on this, although you know my thoughts on this guy.

    Can't wait to get mine !

    And can't wait to paint a few :)

    Joe,

    i have said this for awhile now, you are a professional!

    they look like they would smell like formaldehyde,
    this is my favorite sculpt in years from anyone.

    looking forward to seeing it in clears to mimic
    a true to life diaphonized sideshow exhibition.
    hoping to see alternate appendages & heads!

    i wanna wrap one of these in a baby blanket then take it
    to a local park and sit on a bench with a candid camera
    set up to capture the reaction of folks walking past!

    much respect & best success to you with these puppies!

    Thanks guys.

    John I agree a diaphonized sideshow version would be very cool. Maybe with an internal skeleton insert on clear acetate.

    Believe me every time I leave the house I just want to take one of these with me and gauge reaction, but my wife just gives me that uh uh look.

    I just don't have the cash to get in on one of these, but just like to say again how amazing they came out. You've really reached some next level stage with that paint, especially on the detail of the Twins' sculpt. Best of luck to all for the happy homes these go to. I am sure there will be at least one or two surprised SOs. ;)

    Don't feel too bad there were only a handful of those guys, a tough one to win. Though I do think 3 or 4 of the winners were on the boards here. There will be plenty more releases to look forward to.

    We've all had what seems like endless strings of losing lotteries, and when the streak is broken and you win, it will be even more exciting.

    Thanks for the encouragement. More releases = more chances! The Cadaver Twins is such a awesome figure & congrats to all who won! Did it have a "new" header card??

    This Saturday I will be releasing this Usir/CK run at FOE. 4PM (ET) and will also have some Cadaver Twins one-offs . I'm planning on heading out to the store for the release, so if you're around the area, come on out.

    None sold yesterday. They are all going online. FOE is sending emails today taking orders for everything. You might want to sign up for their mailing list if you want a shot at one or one of the Usirs. There are a few pictures of them on my Instagram though, @splurrt.

    i dont believe they're making them that easy to buy, a friend of mine tried to get one and just wasn't able to, not because it was sold out but his messages were just met without response

    Yeah I noticed that there is no real buy it now system for a while. Even finding the online shop was hard. You had to email them and to see if it was avilable.

    I think they migrated all the remaining work from the show over to their normal store, there are a few Big Digs still up but everything else is gone, http://www.circusposterus.com/originals, for anyone who was looking. Plenty of cool art up there from others in the show too.

    Well, I am very pleased to be offering the first run of the Cadaver Twins this Saturday, Watermellon Chewing Gum Cadaver Twins, with a Freezer Pop chase. A fine way to say goodbye to summer.

    I will announce details as Saturday arrives and I settle on a time and method, watch the site for updates.

    Love the paint app you went with on these Joe. That freezer pop is really something.
