I really adore this figure. Let me show you what she looks like in the real world:

the second picture is stunning, jeremy! she almost looks neon green/yellow and is in a great contrast with its natural surroundings (especially with the pink flower)
wonderfully captured, sir!

@sillyK - I added this toy to Trampt, someone asked where I got the image & I said I pinched it from here (mentioned im a bad man - in jest) Keegan also in jest noted that there is a crossover in entries. All was lighthearted, we are all aware of symbiosis. I am a Mod / admin on both sites, primarily because I am active on both sites, no conspiricy! I assume jan is being light hearted too, this is a small community :)

I do not have to defend myself, kinda makes me sad that you can find the time to research my online habbits, personally i dont care what you do on other sites. Conversation over. Thanks to Roto for a real fun time, loads of lovely people and a lot of chuckles. keep it happy everyone :)

anyone who is a member here can contact Sergey & offer to help out, there is not a set number of 'Mod' spots, to the best of my knowledge. U can add to the library without being a 'Mod' the mod role is helping to remove duplicates & update incorrect fields. my mod role on the other site is with connection to my willingness to help with the upcoming forum features. My 'Rep' number there makes no difference to me, most of it was gained before this was even a visible feature & most of the items I have added there are art prints / OG art. I did note you added the blox here, in fairness I am not 'obliged' to do anything, this is a hobby. (as a side FYI, my understanding is the rep thing would go towards future comps there, which I have already opted out of so making it of zero importance) We're all good Jan, no worries

oh, now i slowly get it. i am not a member on this webpage called trampt, never even heard of it. thank you for explaining a bit, Mister Q. and Toy.
butttttttt.... if i can be honest, i really don't like the tone of this conversation/discussion among you guys :(
though, i am glad to read further in, that you got over yourselves.
@ TOY: i love you, man! you know that. and now sit down on your couch and smoke a reefer ^_^
@ Mister Q.: don't even think about leaving roto! THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! + where is the snapshot of your new addition?
@ Dan: ditto! i come to roto as well to relax and smile and cream my pants over all those pretty toys!

This is keegan from Trampt ...
Personally I feel the images on Trampt & Rotocasted aren't 'owned' by either. Generally they're from manufacturers or artists with some exceptions here & there and we leave room for people to get credit for the photos they take. I've definitely grabbed images from here, and I know images I've personally dropped the backgrounds out of have ended up here as well. I think this cross-over not only helps the community, but also the artists who get new fans by collectors stumbling upon their work on our sites.
Honestly I didn't even know MisterQuiche was a mod here, and I personally don't care if he does both. There are no big trade secrets being exposed here ... this isn't life and death, it's collecting toys and it should be fun. :) -

Hi guys. I haven't been around much lately, but it's more due to lack of money than to lack of love. I've personally interacted with Sergey, Keegan and Quiche, and they are all great people.
I guess if I could turn back the clock, I would have wished that instead of Keegan putting all his energy into establishing a 2nd similar network to Rotocasted, that the two teams (Trampt & Rotocasted) could have worked together on one killer database (Roto-trampt?). I'm not sure if that was ever something considered.
Funny enough, a couple years ago, *I* met with a programmer about starting a network like this. (It's a true story, and we were going to focus on trading dupes.) But as soon as I did my research, I found that Sergey already had a significant headstart with Rotocasted. Splintering the community seemed unnecessary, and there's that saying: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Well, I had no interest in (or money to put into) "beating" Rotocasted, so I offered to help Sergey instead.
Sergey has since become a great friend and guest at my house in California a couple times. In 2012, I may get to visit Moscow for the first time too. I'm not sure my rambling has a specific point. Just that in my experience, I have found the biggest gains from collaboration vs. competition. -

Tristan - first of all, I think it's okay to criticize an artist when you think he's doing bad work.
but to be fair I've always been sticking it to him cause I don't like his work very much - to me it seems more like brand merchandise then art and Kaws himself more buisnessman then artist.
this recent work just makes me feel more strongly about it. -

MisterQuiche and lordsketch: I agree with both of you. I typed the above comment facetiously, but with an alarming amount of sympathy. I also feel like the stuff I ought to like is not as cool as it used to be. However, barely one percent of Kaws and Dunny and Bearbricks interest me. Kaws probably didn't think this Snoopy would falter, but many on this forum think so. And here I am, seeing the same qualities in this figure that made me think the rest of Kaws is overpriced and underwhelming.
When I started collecting blindboxes in Portland and Chicago (on the few chances I happened to be in either of those cities) I had no idea how much vinyl I had already missed, and four years later I'm feeling crotchety and curmudgeonly and bitter that the artists I liked then either aren't producing stuff that appeals to me or they have stopped making vinyl altogether, and the rest of the toys that I like are unattainable due to rarity, expense, or access.
And the rest of the rest look like total boring shit. The debate over whether something is genuine or bootlegged, commercial or art, goes beyond what I care about. I love my collection, and I'd like to refine it, nurture it like a little toxic garden of non-biodegradable treasures. But increasingly it looks like there is less out there for me. So I feel old and mean compared to my enthusiastic collecting self of just two years ago, and with artists like Kaws I just sit back feel cynical. People are upset about Kaws doing a lukewarm x'ed-out-eyed Peanuts character. I guess I'm upset about caring less about vinyl in general.
Does anyone else doubt the intrinsic value of their hobby? -

@tristan; i know where you are coming from, i have shed most of my collection in recent years but continue to look and hope to find new artists / pieces that excite me. For me recently my focus has been more on the resin producers, small home runs, more artist interaction and a feeling of being involved as opposed to just buying a really really expensive snoopy or tweety bird. (obviously the only factor that ultimately matters is do i like it!)
@ monsterforge, Blend some ice cream in there and im right with ya! -

Tristan - there are many many more toys I want then money I have so I don't have those problems :P
there will always be crap, everywhere. But there is is still a lot of stuff I love. -
-

51 9 368

I normal situations, at least for me, there will always be lots of stuff I would like to have, but cannot based on the price/availability etc. But it's all part of the fascination of collecting, buying fancy furniture and so on: would be a damn more boring if you could get all the stuff all at once!
We as consumers/collectors have the responsibility to buy and collect the stuff we really like and want to support, and I have started to think about his more and more lately. About the facts how well are the companies treating the artists, in which conditions are the toys made (I don't want no-one to risk/damage their health making my toys) and so on. As one individual you can't do miracles, know every little details of conditions, but you can act via your buing habits and I think I'll do that much more in the future. This all comes to Kaws and how I really think that his toys and art has started in the recent years become more and more about milking the buyers/collectors. That in my mind tells that he doesn't really appreciate his fans a lot.
I myself have cut up my collecting almost totally at the moment, but in the future I'll surely buy only something really special and might head towards buying more art pieces during the years. For example nice painting/canvas by some brilliant artist.
For me my toys, although I have a really small collection compared to many here & it doesn't include any "high-end" vinyl toys, are little pieces of art and all have something that visually & mentally describes somehow who I am and what makes me happy.
But that's my rant about these things. Hat tip to Tristan for starting the conversation. Now others - continue. -

I gotta say...I don't understand this figure. I picked it up because I like Jon Burgerman's style on toys. But the sharp curve to the head and the bloated Dunny body just aren't working for me at all. What do other folks think of Bitbots?
-
-
13 years ago
That's the problem, they are using the platform like a dunny!
There is nothing wrong with the form they just need to develop their own style. It needs to be more appropriate to the form rather than just wrapping a dunny illustrator file around a bitbot.
Some of them work well but I would like to see a new style of platform toy rather than another dunny. -

The Bitbot platform sucks, as does this toy. I struggled to pass on this being a massive Burgerman fan for the past 4-5 years, but with a bit of life coaching from my girlfriend (lol) I managed to save myself £40! I dont know what Jon was thinking, maybe he was just keen to support a UK production platform in its early days, but it's ugly!
