This looks great value for the price. But awkward to display.
Due to the shitty QC and CS on the last large release in this series, I will be giving this a miss. -

"Hey, our work isn't selling! What can we do?"
"How about you wack a stormtrooper helmet on it and call it a day"
Have always wanted a piece by these guys but horror stories about QC puts me off -

The smaller Keiko pieces are unreal as far as quality goes. I think they struggled with the massive illusion of depressing love piece though, 6 month build time turned in to 12 months. Arrived damaged. I've been waiting 3 months for replacement parts!

The quality itself is very good but the problem is the figures are fragile as fuck ! Out of the 200 Batlle damaged keiko we had about 17 broken ones, but from the darkside keiko we had 7 broken from 30 pcs, and K3KO just 2 !
I will be stocking this pbaby for sure and gonna display it just with keiko on the cross on my wall :) -

yeah it's correct that the Fools paradise figures are very fragile and even though the K3KO packaging is much better then previous editions broken stuff is just part of this business.
Especcially when the figures travel thousands of miles and get thrown, stacked and shacked during this time, and resin doesn't like that :) -

Worst Fools Paradise piece by far imo.
Tasteless, unoriginal, poorly executed & just... plain ugly.
What a pitty, the should've stucked with the Keiko form or a combination like the Illusion of depressing love (who invents those names by the way? :D ) -
-
10 years ago
Agree with HonestCrooks, and it appears they struggle to deliver these larger pieces are speaking to other people with QC issues on their last $750 creation.
I'm totally out.
I'd rather see some more interesting non star-wars keikos.

B-KAWZ there isn't enough shit at Comicon already
B-KAWZ you are not a very discerning toy collector
B-KAWZ absolutely everyone bastardizes everyone else
B-KAWZ art imitating art is still art, geddit?
Call it what you will, is it a blatant rip-off or a noble tribute?
We at Necessaries Toy Foundation consider it a homage
to two successful and very respected artists.
It is also commentary and parody.
Is it an original idea? We think it is, but only in an esoteric sense.
In fact, it is a very original idea if you are a lateral thinker.
Appropriator? Perpetrator? Instigator?
It is what it is, and I yam what I yam.
B-KAWZ is a metaphor du jour. Merely this and nothing more . . . -

Ah, I see. This will be my first COARSE buy so I'm not part of F&F yet.
I'm actually looking to make my first serious purchase. From a value standpoint, which would you recommend: an original like Locks Pain or a retailer-exclusive/variant like Blackout?
Thanks for the help! -

If you are talking about "unlimited", there are only 159 still available from the kidrobot.com shop... ;-) So apparently, this will be sold out pretty soon :-)
-

10 years ago
1,000 is pretty limited for a big global release.
The coarse mini omens were limited to 800 pieces, and they are already pretty hard to come by at a decent price.
Anyway surely its about how much you love the design, not how limited/flippable the piece is? -
10 years ago
I'm a collector, I hunt for a collectible items. So limited edition has great importance for me, as for any collector I suppose. I like good designer toys, but good & rare designer toys I like much more. )
-
10 years ago
So the perceived value of the piece is as important to you as the design?
-
10 years ago
Yes. Do you have another opinion?
-
10 years ago
Its not an opinion, it was an honest question. I'm always interested to find out why people collect what they collect.

I Agree it's pricey for a 1000 edition piece but then again we don't know how much of each KAWS figure is produced aswell, and people pay top dollar for that. Is that perceived as a non collectible then or is that different because everybody wants it ?
-
-
10 years ago
Of course an edition is a relative value, and 1000 still limited. But as I know McBess not such famous artist. I don't understand where KR took the number of the edition. And I don't understand why KR made excitement around the figure. May be KR just tried to catch success wave of Dunny Evolved Series and Mermaid figure.
-

Maybe they had to make a minimum of 1000 pieces to keep the piece affordable. It's a 2 piece, 10" statue with a extra prop and a whole lot of detail. I can imagine the production cost of this being a bit higher than let's say a 8" dunny.
Anyhow, it's true that 1000 might be a bit on the high side but even if it was a ediion of 10.000, I would've bought one nonetheless. It's an amazing and affordable 3D form of his art.
And McBess is a well known artist here in Europe. Unbelievable that they made what, only 50 (?) available here? -
-

I was just typing up a reply, but HonestCrooks said exactly what I was about to say in a much more concise way.
So what he said :) -

I haven't been aware of McBess for long, but from what I've seen, I'm personally VERY impressed. Also, with all the new toys being released by McBess, popularity will increase quite quickly I think.
Also, when an artist isn't 'hugely' known, advertising & flaunting a toy seems like the logical choice. That way, numerous non-fans see it, become fans, and thus increase the fan-base.
Thus, i say, flaunt the hell out of new toys! -

I'm not really sure if it's made of vinyl, on the bottom of the product page it says "resin cast" and at the top "vinyl toy". Anyway I would have loved to get this, but it's quite a bit above my price range.

It's funny that the extra tattoos (what started out as a "gift" for collectors from McBess because they were running late on delivering these Mermaids) became something that people wished they wouldn't receive :D

@kittykittymeow666 Ofcourse there are and it wasn't my intention to speak for every one :-) Sorry if it seemed that way. It just feels like a common opinion when I bring up the tatted version of the Mermaid. And there is a difference of wanting someting because of the visual appeal or the "exclusivity". (read the Viandardes comments for that :-D )
If you're going for the exclusivity, there was told that there would be 5 pieces with tattoos, but I know already of 3 people in a radius of 20km of where I live that have a tatted version (they know McBess personally), so I'm guessing there are a lot more than just 5. -
