Found this little guy today at Atticus in Barcelona, a lively little store gallery that has some rare stuff for good prices. I'll write mire of what I saw there later :)

I'm not sure I'll go back there, but you were mentioned in the conversion.
I got so wrapped up in it and in the toys I saw there I almost walked out without paying! :-p I was so embarrassed but Carlos was so nice.
I told him I'd put up links here to some of the things I saw in the store.

I liked Abe's postal character stickers http://www.flickr.com/photos/... and Globulon is exactly in the style! it's cartoony, shape and details is strong.
It has a retro feel and Hedorah resemblance.
I think it's really sweet combination.

True story: I was the first person to ever buy a Sketchbot. I was in NYC at the time, and happened to pass by My Plastic Heart just when Steve was getting ready for the release and signing.
Lucky me. :-)

Haha ! I was sure of that ! But not at all : the color is not the same (this one is "beige", the other one is "yellow", even if the photo doesn't really show it - this one is clearer in reality).

Yes, but I've already seen another photo (on mintyfresh.com, long time ago) where it was more grey and almost green than it seems to be here. This toy is called "beige" and that's true ; this photo doesn't do it justice at all. But this is the only one I found (on atomplastic.com), sorry !

I'll take photos of this when it comes in. Stoked that these old MINDstyle colorways were a warehouse find. SKWAK is one of the most underrated artists in this scene. His art feels like the inside of my head.

This is a sweet piece, and you can find them pretty cheaply on eBay due to some distributor clearance. They were originally priced at upwards of $100, and they're going at around $30 now. LOVE SKWAK! Even without all the color, he's great :)

actually, as far as I know, Mindstyle bad name is due to their shadiness in the relation with the artists (not paying them, not sending their APs), not about quality. I own toys from 2 series by Mindstyle (Mechtorians & serv-o-matics) and the quality is great.

Yeah same as amavevera, I've been told TONS of awful stuff about MINDstyle's ethics and operations, but if it's possible to put all that aside, the toys themselves are done really well. If you compare SKWAK's Maniac to SKWAK's KR Dunny, you can see what I mean. I only wish 1) MINDstyle didn't treat its artists so badly and 2) There was a green colorway of this piece :)

How do they treat them bad? Not pay them for their work? Do they say "we are making a toy of your artwork, that is your payment"?

Interested in this I am.

Me too. I'm trying to find time to write an article about it, but in the meantime, ask any artist who has worked with MINDstyle. I've found most to be quite open to talking about it. For instance, Sket One and SKWAK.

It would make an interesting article! I wonder what they will say? It may be hard for the toy producers to write up a contract for correct payment? Especially considering they are bearing all the risk!

But my approach is from a product design background. Many designers work on products that don't sell but then you get one that sells like mad. Its great for portfolio (if the company lets you use it) but you were only paid an hourly rate (and/or lump sum) and the company is making millions off of a product you designed as they did all the extra legwork.

Yet as a toy, you are directly selling it for art,you would think the payment would be something like this: (A lump sum upfront) + (% royalties) + (Correct exposure, such as artists name on box)

Who knows, looking forward to your article when you do it (check out some product designer horror stories too :P)

OMG Mindstyle is my favorite toy maker. I love their toy quality and the boxes that toys come in are amazing and high quality. I haven't heard of this shadi-ness though I can tell you, that I emailed Skwak a year ago to ask if he had any of the Maniac colorways and he emailed me back to say no, but if I ever found them, he'd like one. So apparently he didn't get his artists proofs.
I just bought the black/black and the black/blue off ebay for 29.95 SCORE. I have ALL Skwaks stuffz. :)

More info re: my post above. I talked to Skwak via email. He told me he never authorized the release of any of the Maniac Colorways (not blue, not black, not red). And he never got any proofs or any of the productions. Tsk. Tsk. Mindstyle. Tsk. Tsk.

I'm not the worlds best photographer, but I figured it was the best way to make sure I'd have the right to add it to the library. If there's a better image out there with an open license, I'd be happy to change it.

@larzor Do you have the Kriegaffe Number 10 as well? It's pretty expensive on ebay!
larzor

340 182 58

13 years ago

No, I've been trying to get it, but I've given up. I almost bought it when they first came out and they all had the same price tag, but I decided not to for some reason. :(
I only have this one, Liz Sherman and Lobster Johnson from this series.

Ah, damn! There's nothing worse than knowing you had the chance but didn't grab it! I did the same with the cutest little Nibbler from Futurama once. It was priced around $ 25, but I did just like you. Years later I was forced to pay waaaay more for it on ebay *sigh*.
I've been a hardcore Mignola fan for years, so when I saw these action toys I just had to own them. But again...some years too late, so I had to go with the Rocket Pack Hellboy, which I believe is from series 2 ?
larzor

340 182 58

Yeah, way worse than buying something rather pricey and then realise you could have bought it much cheaper if you had just done some research or waited a little :P But there's always new chances to buy stuff at exactly the right time…
What I'm really interested in right now is either one of the 18-inch Hellboys or the special edition Hellboy with the uncensored Herman von Klempt head. I think my chances at aquiring the former is slightly higher :)
Until then I'll have to settle for my Big Blast one.

Uncensored Herman von Klempt head? You mean with the swastika on his forehead? But he came with the Kriegaffe!! Just looked at mine....and yes, I think it must be censored. The sign looks more like an X than a swastika. Didn't really notice it till now, because I let them stay in the clam shell widow box. Censorship in toys? C'mon Mezco!
P.S. I have the 18-inch of course. ;)

Oh, hope I didn't ruin it for you! I was disappointed when I found out and it's part of the reason why I'm not trying that hard to get a hold of the ape. I guess we're lucky that Liz is still allowed to have a cigarette :P
The 18-inch must look pretty cool. It's on my list, so hopefully I'll get it eventually…
