This guys work reminds me of Alan Aldridge's work for the Beatles.
Parra's Design work is also really good he has a great sense of the abstract and surreal. Needless to say "I want a Prostitute tonight" -

Amavevera, hope you will find her too. A dedicated fan like yourself must be able to pick it up somewhere! In the meantime I found out that it was in fact a limited release, 200 pcs. Dunno if there will be a re-issue. Should I find another prostitute, I will inform you asap!

well, shipping from Netherland is not very cheap (about 18 euros- TNT), but it is fast, reliable and trackable. After all, a charming prostitute like her deserves premium transportation :-)

We got our hands on 20% of the Prostitute stock, a bunch went to Rockwell (Parra's clothing line) and a bunch to MPH, and maybe more to other shops i don't know.
Problem is that with shipping and all that crap the figure get's superduper expensive butat least we have it and can offer it for a reasonable price to the european customers :) -

Also Wanna point out that MPH "accidentally" was selling the item for a lower price then they should be (which is weird) but with a wholesale price of $57 (ex shipping) there should not be much left to be happy about at MPH (MPH did not reply my emails regarding their prices with Adfunture)
There is not a big profit margin after shipping & importing costs for Mintyfresh so probably got screwed in this situation, but I'm still very happy i can offer this to my European friends :) -

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?

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. -

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.
-
14 years ago
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. -
-
14 years ago
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. -

$1 as a starting bid and £155 for shipping. "Awesome!"
I especially like how the seller emphasizes it – "SHIPPING COSTS are set HIGH and are not negotiable, but to welcome LOW BIDS and reduce FV fees."
"welcome low bids", yeah right...
Haven't these sellers heard about eBay excessive shipping costs policy?

too bad ebay says shipping+handling, so the person can claim parking lot fees and packaging and filling the forms and so on. hands off.
Vadim

£155 breaks down to ~£15 for shipping of the dunny case, and... £140 for parking lot fees, packaging and filling the forms?!
I don't think so... I'm pretty sure that if this listing is reported to eBay, they'll take it down, as it clearly violates their policy.

How do you go about reporting a listing? Surely it'd better to start bidding low with a reserve price and an appropriate shipping cost?

if you want to report an item you have to choose from preset options. and overpriced shipping is not there. £140 including person's hourly rate (that bloke is busy) and he has to go there during day:D

@aargh It's there –
1. Reason for Report -> Listing policy breaches
2. Detailed Reason -> Circumvention of eBay fees
3. Additional Information -> Excessive postage and packaging
