Nope, it's one of a kind original.

Isn't a one of kind original a custom?

This is a really good conversation to have. A CUSTOM can be a one-of-a-kind original (especially if the customizer has gone above and beyond to make something new out of the original toy). However, a ONE-OF-A-KIND ORIGINAL is not typically going to be a CUSTOM. In the case here, the talented Jimmy Foo has created an original figure with his own original sculpt. This would only be a custom, if Jimmy writes that underneath the purple, there is a Munny in there somewhere :)

There are talks in multiple toy commentaries on Rotocasted. My reasoning for what is classified a custom:
Custom: Uses another toy as its platform, including re-casting parts. Therefore customising a toy.
Original: Creating a sculpt without use of another toy as its platform. An original toy. -

I feel there is a difference between "customizing" and "custom". I would define taking a platform toy and painting it or making it your own would be customizing or customization, however, making your own one of a kind toy would be a custom (as in custom made). IMHO.

As toy design as we know it is relatively new, it may be helpful to reference an older practice to define the nature of the beast.
In furniture design, the term "custom made" tends to be only used if you were commissioned to do a unique piece for someone. The person commissioning the piece would set the design specifications for the custom made furniture, not the designer.
One of a kind pieces get made in furniture design often and are not considered custom pieces but new designs.
English language seems to lack the words required for this subject :P The interpretation of words like 'original' and 'custom' can easily become out of context. -

I think in this instance the term 'custom' is being confused with customised. Imo, to customise is to take an existing object and make alterations. A custom is essentially a commission with some kind of client brief. However, I regard this piece to be neither of the above as it's an original design....soooo... Between Jeremy and CoMus I'd say it's pretty much covered.

I just got my purple kid dragon from the upper playground booth at SDCC 2010. I had the OG version and I noticed that they were slightly different: the tip of the tail of the purple one was facing the other way (the most curved, light colored tip is on the belly side and the up facing, deep purple colored one is on the fin side). I've been looking at pics of other kid dragons and I found a couple on ebay that have the tail facing the same way as mine, but for the most part they are Anyone ever noticed that? Are there two versions of this kid dragon out there?

thanks, but its not really related to pics, I've been looking very carefully, check out the difference in this tail with the one in my flikr pics. http://farm5.static.flickr.co.... Can you see the flare part of the tail is backwards compared to the pic in this page? Check out how the fin side of the tail is placed compared to the curved light purple tip of the tail.

I see what you mean now....hmmmm. I'd email Loyal Subjects and ask.
I don't have one of these to check, but I'm assuming that the flare of the tail cannot be rotated? -

nope, it can't rotate, yeah I'll email them, I want to get to the bottom of this!

I would say the sculpt was changed for balance issues. Not only the direction of the tail was changed, clouds were added to bulk it up and give a lower centre of gravity.

That would be a plausible explanation. I've emailed the loyal subjects. I'll post here when they give me an answer

This was the answer I received from the loyal subjects:
The tail of the Regular Edition and Gold Edition are both facing the same way.
The tail of the Purple, Blue and Grey Editions are facing the opposite way.
We did this to create a different look for the variants. -
