I am not sure what you will get if you ask for "sporg" instead of "sprog"? :P

As Jon Knox is the man behind Hello, Brute, should the artists name be changed so they're all in the same grouping like the 'Matt JOnes/ Lunartik' thing?

please explain to me what is so great about this piece?
-

I guess because its a new toy released by Amanda and people enjoy her work.
The really neat thing is the mini toys with this set, they are mini versions of previously released toys by Amanda. -

and it is handmade and IP toys are popular too.

I like both Amanda Visell and Itokin Park's cute styles, so combining the 2 is a win for me :)

Worth the price. If you're a fan of Itokin Park and his resin work, then you will understand. I was fortunate to get one and it's truly amazing in person. And a lot bigger than I thought it was. If you find one, get it.

This piece grew on me but I had no idea what the price was, just googled. Woah $450! I would love to hold one and play with it :D but not at that price.
-

Yeah, the price point is completely understandable for this release. I really want it now LOL

An establish artist customized an existing toy figure with bespoke details, some putty/sculpey work and great painting. He/She charges $100-$200 on top of the figure, sometimes even more, for his/her effort. If it is a popular platform and popular artist, e.g. Sket-one, it goes up to $500+.
This you have two established artists, designed, sculpted, hand-cast resin & hand-painted them. The pricing is high but I think it is fair for their time & efforts.
Similarly in an older medium. An established artist hand painted a collection of canvases for an exhibition, they will likely to cost you +$1000 each. Sometimes there would be some mess-printed pieces at a much lower price. -

It is good that the two artists do have mess-produced figures via Kidrobot/Super7/self catering for most collectors :)

my problem is not in value, because it's mostly a moot point - nothing has a set value or price, it's all about standards and conventions.
My problem is that I don't want to see the entire scene prices start escalating, something that could very well happen as artists gain more and more recognition.
I've said it before, one of the special wonderful things about this form is it's widespread affordability. once the prices go up and up it will just get sucked into the regular market of the "art world" and will loose a lot of what makes it special - an art form for the public, for the fans. -

I don't think this toy is an indication that the scene is going to price itself out of the reaches of its current supporters. As I said the artists have toys at different price levels, so their fans can afford them.
I don't see that why an artist can't exist in both "art world" and this scene (I am not sure how to distinguish the different art scenes, I've used those terms only for the context of this conversation)? If they do and I am glad that they apply their artworks on mess-produced figures every now and then, so they can afford to live and don't care if the toys make enough money.
I am also happy that some of them have turned into toy markers e.g. Mr & Mrs Horvath of Uglydolls. I've always wanted Uglydog vinyl figures and I can now buy them as open edition window-boxed figures at a couple of bucks.
I think you have a bigger problem with limited edition toys, especially blind boxed series. It encourages non-collectors to buy them and to sell at an inflated price. This makes collectors to think that they have to sell a rarer piece at the inflated price level as well to fellow collectors!? I certainly am guilty of it. -

The bed's length is approx. 6 1/2 inches and height is approx. 6 3/4 inches. The figure that is in the bed is 5 inches.

Silicon is very good as capturing the texture of a material and resin is very good at reproducing it :)

Yeah this is incredible. I had the same reaction: is this actually resin or did the gallery accidentally send me a wood version? I purchased this resin one-off from Scott's recent gallery show in Portland. I confirmed with both Scott and the gallery that it's resin. There are subtle differences in size and weight and coloring. I love it in resin!

Just checked and the blue and brown colorways (one-off, hand-painted, HEAVY, 6-inch RESINS) are still available. $60 is a steal for this piece. The gallery people were really nice, too.

No wood box for the resin version, but it did come well-packed in a cardboard box with stickers on the sides. Sometimes I'm glad when I get a toy with packaging I can recycle. I've now got boxes of toy boxes stacking up. I want to keep the packaging on a lot of toys, but at a certain point, it gets impractical!

Jeff Pidgeon blogged about this once -
the Resins were the ones Scott made first, and the masters were molded from actual wood sculpts :) -

Avriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, you probably wouldn't like him anyway. He's been exposed to HEAVY smoking for two years now. Not sure if you can wash his bathrobe, and I can't remember which parts belong to him either. I have a whole box with extra eyes and arms for the Squadts I have. And the boxes they came in are at the attic, can't remember which one belongs to Jack.
Besides that he's fine. No scuffs! :) -
