So, what do you think of this figure? I think it's not true to Gary's painting(s) of Toby. The eyes are too close to each other, the nose is not curved, and lips look kinda weird... Just check out a photo of plush Toby, and see how different it looks from this vinyl Toby - http://farm1.static.flickr.co... I'm a fan of Baseman's art, especially his toys, but I'm really on the fence about this one.
The small one is also not 100% accurate, but looks more like the original, and small differences are understandable, because it's a mini-figure. But "High Priest of Toby" is way off.

I think this one is meant to look more like him.

Why has there not been a full-size Toby vinyl before this? And why is this one all wrong?

Just look at Gary's paintings of Toby and plush Toby.

I know, it's just weird that there's never been a proper vinyl Toby, and still isn't. A dozen variants of Hot Cha Cha Cha though.

Honestly, I was not too keen on this figure when it was first released but he looks great when surrounded by my Secret Society mini figure set.
