You can change all the details yourself if you added the toy. Top right hand corner of the image you will see a 'edit tags' link. Push that :D

Yeah, dude... it's seriously my favorite Dunny ever. It's a conversation starter... people see it and just start asking questions about it.

This should be in the CUSTOM section, no?
-
13 years ago
I'd say yes, but I think the mods are still trying to iron out what clearly defines a custom, and I think George made about 20 of these. See here....

Sorry... It seriously seems like everything I do here is wrong. :/
I figured since they were wax sculpts that were molded and cast in resin in a number greater than one that they were just a low run resin toy. I was considering the cast head sculpt as the actual limited production piece.
I think I'm going to refrain from posting anything else. I don't want to mess up the site. -

Post away, don't worry, the mods are here to tidy things up if nessecary.
there is a friendly debate going on over what constitutes a "custom". I don't think anyone minds, just helps to know what section we should put things in.
It's all good :) -

Cool... I try my best to help out here with pics and info. This is honestly one of the best sites on the webbernets, and I recommend it to everyone I know who collects toys.
I personally think a custom is a one-of-a-kind thing made using an existing toy as a platform... I can see why the Skull Dunny would be lumped in with the customs because of the use of the Dunny body. The skull, however, still makes me think more of a low run resin toy.
I'm fine with it being in whatever section everyone decides it needs to be in... it's a GREAT figure no matter what! ;) -

I am not really a fan of dunnys, but this is awesome. I would like one of his custom skulls, it looks even better with no body!

I'd like to pipe in and say this is a custom. I took someone Else's Dunny and changed and added to it, hence made it a custom. I don't think it should matter how many there are. (which by the way is now more than 20) There was no closed number of these, and more can be made if someone wants. You can contact me through the Toy Break forum.

As I am not an artist (I am an industrial designer) my views come from a production side. I agree with George, once a figure is used as a platform its a custom.
I wouldn't consider it a "custom" if it was a production release by the original company, then again Mark Nagata makes many "customs" and releases them.
I am starting to think there should be a few "custom" categories.
BTW Welcome George :) -

Welcome to the site George, about time (joke).
Dropped you an email about the custom dunny. -

Great to hear the artists view. I have just ordered one of these skull dunnys, and a couple of custom skulls. Can't wait to add these to my collection.
As for the "custom" discussion, I have submitted a few pieces to the custom section. The koibito is a one of a kind color way by the artist. I would say this is a custom.
http://rotocasted.com/toy/8387/
The blobpus is a one of a kind color way for an exhibition, although it is also part of a limited run of 15?
http://rotocasted.com/toy/8421/
I'm not sure if the eyezons are custom? They are hand painted
and of a limited run of six.
http://rotocasted.com/toy/839... />
Custom? Limited run? Not sure? -

I think Huck Gee called his limitied releases "production customs".
to me it seems simple - if it's based on an existing toy - it's a custom. if there's more then one, it's a "production custom" or however you want to call it, but having multiples doesn't make it less of a custom. -

Woah! Customs are serious business!
In my "view" of what a custom is:
It is a custom as its using the original sculpt as an artistic platform and not released as an official series.
Also 4 (currently) own this figure but how many versions were made of this exact config? -
13 years ago
In that case:
Quantity should be 1, title name left the same with a commentary note about 60 released in the series.
If 4 people own it, it would be great to see each version! -
13 years ago
Why not?!
I am not saying it should be a policy for people to have to upload pictures of their variants, they can use another entry (such as this one) and add a commentary if anything.
They are still individual pieces, personally I love this variant pictured above compared to the one linked. I really am interested in seeing them all.
What is your view on the multiple entries of Spray 2-V2? Do things change that much with its various colours?

I don't think there should be a "policy" either way.
If people are happy to say they own a variant that isn't 100% like their own, that's fine and it would be good to see linked images or commentaries about their version. On the other hand, if someone uploads their variant, that is also fine.
Otherwise you have the whole debate about what % of variation is considered for an individual entry and what entry should be used.
I like the variant pictured here, yet I dislike the linked variation. You can't pick one of these two as the series "poster child", neither one should be deleted for being a duplicate. -
13 years ago
Shouldn't we let Sergey decide? It is his site after all.
I'm not to fussed to be honest, as long as we all know how we should be listing our toys, its all good.
I just listed these 2 because I thought they were significantly different enough. -

Here's my 2 cents...
In a custom series, like these or the Spray2-V2 then there should be 1 listed with the number in the series and anyone that has one of this series can mark it has "Have". You can then link to outside pics in the comments where you can show off which one you got.
This way you aren't listing multiples for things that are basically the same. I know the R2's are different in color, but they came from a set release. If you start breaking up a custom series as individuals because there are slight paint variations then this is going to be a huge section filled with tons of almost the same pics. I thought the whole idea was to be able to mark "Have" as a community and see who else is into the same stuff you are and so on.
I'd say get one picture that best represents the series, then mark the quantity and date of release to correspond with how many were sold and when. This way if Dril made another 20 of these later on and they were similar you could have a later release date for the second run.
just a thought. -
-
13 years ago
Agreed. It would also be awesome if the custom section would allow more than one picture per toy, that way variant images could be listed on the site, rather than having to be linked to.
-
13 years ago
It would be cool to have single page group entries for series. Allowing the image displayed in the library to cycle through uploaded variations (a gif or something)
-
13 years ago
I don't think anyone was saying you were wrong? If its in regards to me? I have never thought your thoughts were forward or picky, just another view and I really enjoy reading them!
A sub image set with a rotating gif would be perfect. Also it would be good for GID figures! -

First off: I love how every gives a damn about the direction of this website!
I agree that a custom set release should be grouped and have multiple images. It would put all the versions on one page which is what i often times crave to see. The reason I uploaded my s2-v2 was because I felt it had enough of a variation. The dril gwins, however, are very minor so I wouldn't take the time to snap a pic if it meant having to create another whole group.
Let's see that custom section get off the ground! -

Hello guys, here's my 2¢.
1. As every custom is unique I believe you can create as many records (images) for custom series as you have/want.
2. Grouping is made by tagging.
"Custom" tag has the same "series" or "issue" tag fields as mini figures, so you can group by adding "series" tag and everyone can see it as "Monster Family", for example — http://rotocasted.com/library... />Unfortunately, at this moment, you cannot sort Customs as Library toys, but we will make it possible soon. You can add series tags right now, though. I did for Gwin Army.
One simple Idea. Do you think it will be good to have "Exhibition" tagging group for Customs to tag specific shows as "Monster Within" customs that was posted recently?
Also, do you think it's necessary to separate Customs counter from the Library counter (http://grab.by/5Ud9) ?
Thank you for all the ideas! -
-
13 years ago
@sergeySafonov I think "exhibition/show" tagging group would be nice. It will make easier to see pieces from particular show.
Regarding the counter – I think unified counter is enough. -
13 years ago
Sergey has it down packed.
Creating a few extra tag groups will cover it! Other than an exhibition group, what other tag groups would be good?
I don't think its necessary to have a separate counter for customs but it would be neat!

Hey guys, I, too, am pretty sure this didn't sell out. It's a great piece, but the price makes it hard for some people. I picked up three at SDCC. One for me and two to mule. I would have gotten even more probably had I seen this Roto thread. My suggestion is to email Ben at 3DRetro. Tell him Jeremy sent you! Try: retroadmin@3dretro.com
