Oh so original! /sarcasm

Why all the Jled hate lately? Not original? Uhh, how many 10" stackable wood pieces do you own??? I mean, un-original would be making a mold, then selling it in 14 different colors/patterns like, like uhhh, Erik Scarecrow, or Andrew Bell. At least when Joe makes something, he does maybe a handful of color ways, all fairly classic and expected, and moves on. His style is what comes through like a GOOD artist, not a copy machine! With mutant bunny, we see him paying tribute to his own classic first piece, coming up with all sorts of unique ways to present it. I have much respect for Joe's art and admire him for keeping his art current and fresh, and not just churning the molds! Go hate elsewhere!

well opinion or not, At least 20 artists comes to my mind when I think at "boring toys with the same goddamn design again and again"
Jled is not on the list: there's a whole canyon wide difference between having a well established and recognizable style and having one idea and making endless copy of it over the years, and these are facts not opinion, period. -

One artist comes to mind when I think "boring toys with the same design again and again," and that's Joe Ledbetter. And that's an opinion, not a fact, comma.

I don't think this toy is boring, as such. I do find Ledbetter's style quite boring at this point

So just to note, my Burger Bunny arrived this weekend. The size and idea are pretty cool. However, the production leaves much to be desired. It's wood, and in several places the grain and wood dents show through where the paint is too thin. Mine has a fair amount of what look like dirty scuff marks too, where it was handled during production maybe. I think it's just cheaper wood really. However for $400 one would think the wood would be high end and the paint would be finished with some poly, yet this isn't the case.

Oh well I get all the sarcarsm except I was not arguing on the opinions matter but the "boring to some" vs. "talentless artist" issue, I pointed a finger at the moon and I see how many find easier to discuss the finger, but nevermind, feel free to come here and rant at Joe's work.

OMG @Agent_R how did you know about that? I've had this piece for a couple years and never knew that was in there until now. That is so freaking cool!!
For others: There is a resin fire imp figure inside the base. It's one color, looks like an old brown/yellow eraser. Check the eBay auction for pix.

FYI 1 case will be 1 set. A case is 12, and there are 12 figures. So if you pre-order a case, you get a set.

ugh, those are some heart breaking toy stories here
):
I am sorry to hear, you both guys received your beauties broken!
@plaStig: was your parcel insured? i mean, how the heck can a parcel be so poorly handled on the way to you and be delivered with a total destroyed toy? it's so upsetting to even read about the damage and missing parts, your guy went through.... is there any personal grief and vendetta going on between you and the post service / mail man / guys at norway customs?
@nico000: how bad is yours??? -

Bad enough for me to send it back to where it came from. Problem didn't looked like anything that could have happen during transport.
Guys at Artoyz are really responsive and told me it will be taken care of. To be continued... -

FYI, I have an extra green Slander. He is missing his rattler (came that way). I now have a replacement. If anybody wants this one with original packaging, sans rattler, make me an offer.
