Qees have keychain attachments so they can be worn as accesories. Your point is moot.

is not. they come unassembled, so keychaining qee is an option. you can wear almost anything as a keychain, but you wouldn't put in your toy collection. and the point was that this revoltech is much more a collectible toy than a keychain.

I think a debate could go on for ages about what can be deemed a toy suitable for Rotocasted, but I thought Rotocasted started for collectible toys i.e. art toys and designer vinyl. I wouldn't class this figure as either. It's an anime related action figure, which I class as something completely different... but then again, the 'Type' tag is there to differentiate between all the toys and their kind, so I don't see why all toys can't be on this site as long as their correctly tagged as whatever kind of toy they are. I was just saying about the keychains thing, because everyone by now is probably aware of my slight Yummy Breakfast addiction, and although it is a keychain, I see them as mini art toys, because of their humble beginnings as Heidi Kenney's handmade felt creations. Then obviously Kidrobot got involved and saw the potential to bring her creations to a wider audience.
I just clicked on the 'Keychain' tag to see what else I can make examples of, and although I can't stand Kaws, the keychains of his are in a way, shrunk versions of his actual art toys, which is pretty good for people who can't shell out hundreds for one of his proper figures. Anyway, I could write all day about this, but I think I've got my point across. -

So how would you all classify my custom 1 of 1 Elissa Shutak action figure that I paid someone to make me?

The problem is some things should definitely be on here and some things definitely shouldn't, and then there are a lot of of things that maybe could be on here. But once you put the grey area stuff, then the things that shouldn't be here start appearing.
Am I making myself clear? :p
I, for one, think mascots and advertising figures are a definite no no. Others are strictly against toys of characters from movies or comics. It gets complicated.
The toy world itself is pretty ambiguous and we've been having this discussion in different forms for a while. -

Isn't the whole movement a little bit of a grey area? The whole idea is to find the essence of toys and make art with that essence in mind, if I understand it correctly and if you don't accept toys as art you've kinda missed the point and it's all about wether or not some one tells you it's a cool, rare and expensive piece rather than up to your own tastes. Of course this makes it impossible for me to objectively dismiss toys that I personally don't like…
There are a lot of things here that might clearly be art, but that aren't toys, like for instance the busts of Mao with Mickey Mouse ears. That should fall within the grey area aswell (or even be immediately dismissed), since it's a sculpture rather than a toy.
My opinion is, allow everything, but make it easy to sort through it with clear classifications and such as. People will always have different opinions as to what is art and what is beautiful.
But then again, I'm new here… :) -

Lord, I got 'em on the bay, but ended up with 50 pieces!!! 10 of each in the series! I know we share the same fascination for Joann Sfar's work.
These small figures are über cute. I can send you the remaining 4 you're missing!? -

I really like Sfar's style and I've been tracking toys from this series to no avail... eventuality I found this figure rummaging through the PCCillin figure boxes of a comics store in Bordeaux :)
However this was the only one I could find, so if any French people know of their whereabouts and what to do me a favour and pick some up for me at the local store I'd be very grateful! -

@jan: thanx for your gift. I take good care of Michel: I just took him in France, hi hi. Joann Sfar is born in Nice, so Michel was happy to visit the home town of his "parent". Some pics here: http://m.flickr.com/photos/am...

I love Joann Sfar's style and these figures do a really good job translating it.
He's such a prolific artist, I wish he'd make am actual designer toy! -

Can you believe it? I ordered this guy ...and the rest of the series...but ended up with 50 (sic!) pieces. My French is pretty bad, didn't know exactly what "BOITE" means. Now I got plenty for all of you wishers... (all five in the series!) ..if you're still interested!

This picture looks like it's from Jeff Pidgeon's collection, and if so Jeff can probably fill in the details. But did you ask Jeff if you can use the picture?
