Has anyone anywhere ever had a discussion about the obvious (to me) homoerotic element of Coarse toys? Has Mark ever spoken about it in interviews? I brought this up on the 3A boards once and everyone basically told me I was nuts. Maybe most Coarse collectors just don't want to consider it?

Maybe that's because Coarse is working in the style of the 1930-50's german, soviet and american propaganda and that era is a cliche for homoerotic imagery in the modern culture? :)

I would say that perhaps there are homoerotic elements, but it seems to me it springs more from Coarse's dealing with masculinity then with homo-eroticism per se.
but after you said that I did realize there are no female characters in the Coarse roster. -

It's not just the lack of female characters though. We could name dozens and dozens of toy companies that don't do female characters, but that doesn't mean their toys have any homoerotic element. Coarse "explores masculinity" in the same way that an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog explores masculinity, only with more penises and spooge (see Sprouting Noop).
I bring it up only because I'm kind of surprised that Mark Landwher has never talked about it in interviews considering how up front it is in the artwork itself. It seems like whenever he's asked about the themes in his work he always says that his art is about "life and death." Not that I expect him to say that it's about "ripped dudes in pink and teal," but still. -

I'm gay :) but didn't really notice that Coarse toys had this homoerotic feeling before you mentioned it.
I totally see / feel it now...
I like them a lot more now. I want them! -

@MisterQuiche, I know what the word means. I just don’t understand what Jazzydan means by using it in this context. How is this observation a Freudian Slip? I'm assuming he's just trying to call me gay, which may be why there aren't any discussions on this topic. They quickly devolve into offensive jokes.
-
-
12 years ago
Not trying to be offensive or insult you, apologies if it was taken that way.
I'm just saying that sometimes the mind makes us see what we want to see. Thats the beauty of art.
I think what is more offensive, is the fact that you think being gay is an insult or offensive? It's OK to be Gay, or to appreciate the male form. -

Just pre-ordered mine! You can get only get them at the OF price in JPY if you are lucky. At KawsOne it should be more expensive, and at eBay, a lot more expensive! I think these will appeal to both Kaws and Lazzarini fans, and Lazzarini fans usually have a lot more money than Kaws fans.

Kawsone should be close to the original OF price. It almost always is.

Yes, but if you don't live in the US, you can't buy there. And you need an extra fast internet connection too.

Your best bet in the UK was through Colette in Paris. They sold out Xmas weekend, but they were going for £167 shipped to England. The downside was that they were one per customer. You couldn't buy the set.

This toy is really awesome! Never saw an interest in kaws, but I love how they made their classic toy look like a deflated balloon.
Anyone have a link to purchase it or release date? -

I too have never been interested in a Kaws piece until these guys. I completely agree with Sergey. I bet this will stand out as original in a collection.

Kawsone.com can suck it. I had a 12 hour advance heads up, and got all three in my cart this morning right at 9am sharp, only to discover that the stupid checkout system doesn't work on my Droid. I was sabotaged by a few pulldown tabs that wouldn't pull down.
-
-

I had prepaid them in another store. A bit more, but worth avoiding the hassle. I experimented at kawsone and managed to put the three in my cart, but just two were confirmed at checkout, one was already sold out.

Oh and yes, it was scrapped. The toy company didn't want to go ahead with it. It has 2 switchable heads. This is a hand painted prototype.

The Rotocasted 10K Toy Celebration!
In celebration of Rotocasted's upcoming 10,000th toy, we are having a special community giveaway.
Here's how it works:
1. Go to your toys and choose a figure you want to give away.
2. Type [10K toy] in the comments section of the toy's page. [Example: http://rotocasted.com/toy/943... />3. Then, go to the "10K Celebration" page [http://rotocasted.com/toy/10576] and post the link to your 10K-toy. This way we have all the raffle toys in one place.
4. Add the "10K Celebration" toy page to your wishlist to be eligible to be one of the winners.
5. Now, keep on adding toys to the library to make it to 10,000!
In January 2011 (when the postal service is not as busy), we will select as many winners as there are 10K-toys provided and connect both parties. A special prize will go to the person who posts the landmark toy number 10,000! Good luck!

sergey, I have an arithmetics dilemma: because this 10K Celebration entry is listed as a designer toy and therefore counts as 1 toy, I guess the real 10.000 toy in the database will be number 1001, right?

We will need to reach 10k again when we will move Action figures and maybe Kaiju to some other place.
-
-
13 years ago
What would classify it as a "designer toy"? Action figures are an easy spot but taking out kaiju? Its just Japanese for monster/strange creature.
I can understand if its a mass produced toy like http://rotocasted.com/library... but what about kaiju toys like http://rotocasted.com/toy/8015/ and http://rotocasted.com/library... />
I would consider the designer toy classification be something like this: "a designer toy is something (plush/vinyl/resin) that has been produced purely on its own form, not created for an established licensed property (movie/tvseries/comics)" but then where do most of the kubricks/bearbricks stand?
I wonder how many would be moved to another category? Then how far off it would be from the "real" 10k!
Edit: Having all the Kaiju in one place would be really neat, I just consider them still designer toys :P -
13 years ago
In regards to what number 10k is, why not make this the 10k toy when its replaced.
Special custom 10k Godot IMO, how about that Sergey? -

The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is an apelike cryptid said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet.
Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is an alleged ape-like creature purportedly inhabiting forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America.

Sure, except maybe for the usual standing issue. Salvatore falls over easily, but his feet are adjustable, arms as well, so you just need to find a good balance!
