i just found this and was blown away by the colorway...rotofugi described it like this:
mongolion with dual-layer clear red over white vinyl, plus a darker red paint rub
sounds like quite a bit of work, they put in the coloring of that little guy -

i know, what you mean, toy. i feel the same
the first one of the mongolions, which really got my attention was the GID version with the clear vinyl and white poured inside (the one, you actually have) ;)
then i just saw this one and fell in love..i needed to get him. :D
and congrats to your new addition as well! -

It seems to be in caramel... Is it more red and less orange in reality ? Or not ?
-
-
13 years ago
miranda, it is clear red vinyl over white vinyl and on top of that a darker red paint, which lets it appear red and orange together.
i wrote both colors there, but only one is allowed...
but i will let you know, how it appears in real life, when i have my package. should be here in a few days :) -

Soooooooooo...i just picked up the package, unwrapped this little guy and took a very close look at him. he is unbelievable pretty and damn well sculpted!
to the COLOR: the official release picture of this red jade mongolion lets him appear orange or caramel, like you said, Miranda... in real life, he appears in a candy like, cherry RED ( under a light bulb though)
i will take a picture of him tomorrow in sunlight and post you guys a link, so you can see the actual color :) -

Number 2 under your mouth. It was really cool looking with my facial hair, but I felt it was kinda irritating at nights, because I like to sleep with my face down in the pillow. After a year I pulled it out.

Definitely legible if you know the script. I know some but not all of the letters. For example in this pic it says "Salvation" across the Salvation Ink's belly.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yardarm51/3273507225/in/set-72157613695481370/
The script across the belly of the SDCC Rebel Ink is a super clear "SDCC".
Trouble is I'm almost certain the word across the bottom of the Rebel Ink back tattoo is not English. I think it is Spanish or Latin. In either case the words written in the upper arch between the shoulders and the mitre (pope's hat) are written in clear roman characters and say "Contraste Organico". You should be able to see if those letters are mirror print or regular. -

Not the font. That's an Usugrow original. They are roman letters though but written in a really funky style. I got it now though. The letters across the bottom of the back say "INKFORLIFE". Makes sense eh.

I cannot find a complete alphabet of Usugrow's font. That may be purposefully done on his part. I'd love to have that font in my word processing software! The pic you just posted ToyPunkJan is one of two versions of the design. One has roman (regular alphabet) for the "Contraste Organico" but a different version has the Usugrow font. I'm off to work but I'll try to post links to both versions after I get back tonight.

Apparently the White one with the Silver Tampo was only available at SB in their Token Machine (not sure what that is) and its called the 'Golden Week' edition.

This is different than the one they just released through their token machine. The token machine RI was the GiD one with silver print. The deal was they have what is basically a gatchapon machine and you'd turn the crank and out would pop a token. The token would determine which toy you got.
-
-
11 years ago
Hey Yardarm, sorry I meant this was the first token machine release (a fair few years ago now) the one your on about was released on Christmas Day 2012 and was a Double Poured G.I.D.. The Silver print was the standard mail order release and the Gold print was the Store only release. I managed to get the Silver print but I'm guessing the Gold print is gonna cost me ;)

I love them too - particularly this zombie.. Found one recently too: http://plasticplanet.co.za/?p... .
I think this series particualr kindof has a place here, due to it's blind packaging and collectability - but it is the slippery slope into all the starwars lego... which would lead to starwars figs... etc... etc..

Until someone can provide a useful definition of what a designer toy is exactly, I can't see a basis for excluding any toys that have been designed (which pretty much includes every single toy that can be bought for money) and even though I don't really like the look of these particular lego figures, some legos are amazingly aesthetic and cool. Had a combination of lego and star wars figures showed up as a custom or on Kidrobot before Lego made them (or even if Lego first made them for Kidrobot) I don't think there would have been any doubt that they belong here.
Also, hasn't something made specifically for collecting/display seized in being a toy? -

Sorry for keeping silence for some time, guys.
Appearing of the Action figures, Legos and Ugly Art dolls at Roto doesn't mean we've lost our focus and aiming for every toy collectibles possible. As I said before, I'd like to split our database later this year and move character toys, action figures and 1/6s (threeA included) to another domain where you can keep track of your non-designer toys collections. Until then, please, don't fight :) -

@fliphappy I totally see your point that this is more a place for mass market or artistic intent, the old toys vs art debate!
I have to admit I HATE mass produced pieces and to be honest Dunnys (and many more 'designer' toys) are far too mass produced and mass marketed for my tastes.
I guess the real question is whether this site is catered towards toys or art piece. If a piece is for displayng and not playing with (which most of my own stuff is), is it a toy or art?!
More importantly, does anybody care? :) -
-
13 years ago
I really wish I remembered the pages where we have had long conversations about "what is a designer toy"! As by now, I beleive we would have compiled enough opinions to make a valid answer.
I agree with fliphappy - "designed with message and artistic intent in mind"
I initially said "they are designed to be collectable toys for display purposes" yet they are not intended as specially designed artistic LEGO pieces, if they were, that would rock more.
Saying that, Lego is one of the most designed toys in the world. The amount of design stages between initial concept to production is insane!
To make people understand the intent of a designer toy and what they are, I mention that they are like "modern day porcelain statues"
Yet everything has a designer behind it, EVERYTHING in the world. What sets "designer toys" from toys that have been "designed" ?!
I think all you need in a "check list" is this =
1 - Is the designers name of the toy known?
Any company releasing a piece without mention the designers name, isn't intending to release that piece as a "designer toy".
They may be cashing in on it being a "designer toy" but it truly isn't a designer toy with the artistic intent behind the piece. -

Some qees and be@rbricks haven't got a designer named but they've got a cool or fun design and I think that's what it's all about.
I know the initial platforms are, but you get my drift. -

Also, a lot of mass market toys are based on an original design by a known artist, for instance anime action figures. Sure it wasn't the original artist who turned his/her drawings into a toy design, but the same applies to, for instance the Heroes of Burgertown. Jon Burgerman only drew some original concepts (I'd assume) and then some one who's good at the technical aspects of designing turned them into toys.
Personally I think the best approach is to provide the users with tools to exclude and include toys in what they can see on the site based on their personal definition, but allow pretty much anything to be added. Take it in to the house, but put it in the darkest corner of a cupboard.
Like comus said, everything has had one or more designers (except for things in nature). -

Jizz. Even some in his eye as well. I can't be the only one who thinks it looks like that, surely?

reminds me of carrot cake (minus the blue flakes, of course). all of the cupcake buddhas have that "dessert-y" feel... or at least they do to me. =p

I could be wrong... but I don't think elissa was thinking about cake.

started out as a tribute to hedorah (slime monster)... but you're free to see what you want to see. (though you may want to see a doctor about that oily, blue discharge. =p)
