MaquetteCity - the first 'sculpts' i saw were the ones in the first photo, that was the 1st time i had anything 'real' to pick up (it's a heavy resin type material) i presume it was done via some rapid prototyping machine based on the illustrator turn-arounds and 3D renders i had made. I'm in London, the proto was done in the US the toys were made in China....so i was very arms length with this part of the process.

Ooo Cafepop, are you on Rotocasted too? Small world! And you're right, it was a factory mistake. The shoes and arms etc. were all blindbagged. I take my earlier comment back.
In fact you gave me one of the best customer services ever. Thank you. Humpty Djinn is now complete and I love the little guy :) -

I think it's wonderful that you have two words for slug in English. Here in Denmark we don't differentiate between Slug and Snail. Danish; Snegl.
We don't care if that tiny creature has a shield/ house on his back or not! They're all Snails :p -

anyone have any tips on cleaning this (i.e. white plush)?
just about two years ago a huge fire took out our apartment and several others, & when we were escorted back in by firefighters to get "necessities only" mr. ttt is who i grabbed, haha. but he's been sitting in our new place all this time, grayish with soot and sparkly with glass dust. after an Unfortunate Incident in my youth involving my mom, a favorite stuffed animal, and the washing machine i'm afraid to touch him, lol.
anyway, any suggestions? any ideas appreciated :) -

Try sprinkling talcum powder over him then some gentle vacuuming.
If that doesn't shift the dirt try a carpet cleaning powder like ShakeNvac. :) -

Btw, wouldn't it be grand (and about time) if Doktor A was about to release a new mini series? I think so, yes :)
Edit: I see it still have the old tag 'height'. It's a job for Sergey to get rid of that :) -

Toy market is definitely low at the moment, My Jled auctions have also been finishing pretty low compared to a year or 2 ago.

Yeah its nice to pick up some missing pieces at a good price, jut clearing out some stuff to make cabinet space. I'm falling out of love with Jled, so he's the first to go. No offence to Joe, I still think his stuff is awesome, just to much of it, and it doesn't really fit with my style anymore.

No not my snow bunny, I would keep that bad boy if I had it.
I'm gonna keep a few select Jled pieces. Maybe the KFGU stuff.

I'm buying a lot more toys compared to a few years ago, just because most of them sell for less than retail ! It's indeed a good time to buy, not to sell. I find it crazy that the price of JLed, Jarvis, Michael Lau stuff dropped like crazy. A few years ago i sold a grey king ken for $500, now you can buy one for $200...

Dunnys are still sell like hotcakes.
I'm considering selling most of my dunnys. I stopped buying dunnys more than a year ago, guess now it's time to start getting rid of what I have :)

I really try to think, when I buy a toy - if the entire toy world collapses tomorrow and I can't sell any of it, do I *really* want this?
CoMus

Why buy things if you are going to sell them later on? I only ever buy something I want in my collection for life and has nothing to do with the end line. If I wanted to make a profit, I would buy shares.
lordsketch
381 1089 1433

oh, I never bought anything *in order* to sell it. but sometimes you think that's kind of cool" and buy it, and in the back of your head you're thinking, I can sell it when I get tired of it.
Now I'm looking for real passion :)
CoMus

I guess I have always only purchased with a real passion, that being said, I would happily part with the handful of dunnys I have hahahah
Vadim

Preferences change as time passes, and you buy a figure "with a real passion" today, but feel different about it tomorrow.
Also, as collection grows, you suddenly find yourself with no space for new figures, so unless you're leaving in a mansion, you have to sell some of the old toys to free some space for new toys.
Vadim

As for dunnys, I believe a lot of collectors pass through a stage when they buy a lot of dunnys just to complete a series.
I know, I did. And so I have a lot of dunnys that weren't purchased because I really like the design, but simply to complete (or at least trying to complete) a series.
jazzydan

I often get rid of stuff when I have dealings with the artist and they turn out to be a douche bag! I just can't collect stuff, if I don't like the person.
lordsketch

Dan, I usually have the complementing effect - when I meet an artist and they're a sweetheart, I feel much more comfortable shelling the big bucks for their stuff :)
