Actually the picture for the kidrobot wizard is wrong. Kidrobot wizard is a darker red.

Yes, got it for the initial price. I was amazed no one else bid on it! I guess most people thought it was the regular size. Yes, I have the full set of nine "mini" Squires (and a few extras I had got before I bought the whole set).

I have a little question:
A few days ago, I this guy and upon arrival, I noticed the little one has a crack in his chest.
I'd rather not talk about refunds and stuff, I want to think positive, believe the guy that it was perfect when he send it and repair my newest addition of the family.
The item is made of fiberglass and the crack is about 6 inch long. It's not a large crack but pretty long and no color has been chipped off.
Does anybody have an idea how I can repair this myself? Fill it up, sandpaper it, recolor it,... Please, any information would be helpful!
Thanks in advance and hopefully someone here is the next MacGyver of toyreparing!
Feel free to email me at federico@honestcrooks.be if you have any thoughts about this! -

honest- id send it back.. you can fix it and use clay or a filler, as well as color match the paint, but its a lot easier said than done.. unless if you restore or fix things like this on the usual, id send em back. =/

if the price was quite good or a bargain, i would keep it. If you paid a top price for the squire, i would send it back as well.
You will always see the squire as a damaged or 'fixed' toy. Always!
The chances to fix it as 'brand new' or new are quite slim. You have to fill it, sand it, repaint it which costs a lot of time and money! Unless you want to do some free hand painting on the squire :-p.
I doubt you will have the same glossy look and detail in the end. So save yourself all the hustle and ship it back. Would you buy the same squire from a seller if you knew it's a fixed and repainted one? -

unless you got it for so cheap, that you cant see a point in returning it to get your money back, id defo send it back.. if you try to 'restore' it yourself, chances are it will come out less than perfect and it will hurt the overall value of the piece, by a lot. (kinda sorta just said what middleclass said :P)
on the other hand, if you dont mind non matching paint (or you could just repaint the whole thing a similar blue), go for it.. like i said, id return it though.. hu8o paid 800 for his, so im assuming you paid somewhere around there.. not cheap enough to receive as broken and fix it yourself. -

Thank you all for your thoughts!
Well, I'm not the guy who buys toys for making profit, so I think I'll be the last owner this guy will ever have (at least if nothing serious happens - knock on wood)
I asked around and I know someone who can scan a color, get the right colorcode and make that precise color. Also, I have some friends who are in the "oldtimer car" business so they could refill it an airbrush it. I don't know if you guys have seen this toy in real life, but its far from smooth and perfectly painted. :D So my guess, it will be ok in the end.
For the price question: I got it cheaper than 800 so I don't mind paying up a bit to restore this little guy :-)
I'll let you guys know what the outcome is and thanks again for your thoughts!! -

If you're going to paint it, paint it in the shadow version, much rarer (only 10), and easier to paint (all black with red eyes). ;-)

If I'm not going to find the exact color of this thing, I might paint it "skin color" with brown or blond hair. Let's say, make a little boy out of it :D

"Squire is the pig-boy creature in the image. I first saw Squire in an old ad from the 1930s back in my teens, and then again, about a couple of years ago, on a concert flyer. The artist of the concert flyer had basically taken this advertisement from the 1930's and re-appropriated it. Originally, the little pig-boy character advertised baker's yeast: the implication of the ad was that this yeast made folks healthy and 'plump'...like a little hog.
Well, I saw possibilities in this character. I 'named' him, made a few changes to his appearance, and began constructing a story around him..." - Jermaine Rogers

I think we're allowed to make distinctions based on other criteria. We can just decide this doesn't belong, regardless of the similarities it has with other toys in the database. We keep taking these baby steps away from the originals: what's the difference between Kubrick and Lego, what's the difference between Lego and Playmobil, what's the difference between Playmobil and...Fisher-Price Little People? Is that next?

When the Playmobil sets were added a few days ago people were in a tizzy, which seemed confusing to me because we do have quite a few Lego figures in the Roto library. It was explained that the Lego figures are from the minifig blindbags, which many people collect. Adding several Playmobil playsets is a little too much. Understandable. Now these Playmobil figures are being uploaded with generally the same idea- they are collectable minifigures, blindbagged, and they come in a series. Yet it's still unacceptable? Maybe this is my inner Libra speaking- everything has to be fair and equal- but what's the difference between having these figs in the Library and the Lego figs?

I believe that both Lego and Playmobil sets shouldn't be allowed on here, because they are both very different from being a designer toy.
A designer toy is designed by an artist with a purpose to make it, and is usually commercial in the designer toy market. An example is Bounty Hunter's Kid Hunter figure. It is, in my honest opinion, the benchmark designer toy. It was made by a t-shirt company (Bounty Hunter) and was made to advertise their new designer clothing line. This already checks off two things on the list, a designer and a purpose. You might argue that it was the toy that established the market as a whole (being the first designer toy ever), but at least it was a part of a specific market for specific people. Also, you may argue that Lego and Playmobil both cater to the toy market as well. But, as I stated before, it was catered to a different kind of market.

Everyone makes good points. Honestly I think that Playmobil doesn't fall under the "designer toy" category, but blind-bagged toys are in the spirit of the designer toy and should be permitted. On the other hand, it's generally accepted that designer toys aren't meant for children, or at least weren't created to target that audience. Playmobil toys are created for one purpose, and that's for kids to play with. Sure, there is always someone collecting just about anything, but they weren't originally intended for collectors like designer toys are.

Very valid points, from a personal point of view I don't believe LEGO should be on here either!
It's not a designer toy, its just a toy, designed for and played with by children…admittedly Adults collect them too but they also collect china plates and they're not on here.
I think some clear lines need to be drawn and pretty firmly on the side of no PlayMobil

Either its a toy site, or a designer toy site, simple.
But if its a designer toy site, and lego and playmobil go, then so should all that pop-vinyl funko rubbish, and maybe even the kidrobot licensed stuff, its no different.
I don't really care either way. I love all toys. But someone needs to define the content of the site, to stop this pointless debate. Sergey where are you?
supercooperberella

@jazzydan I do believe that Funko and licensed Kidrobot should be allowed on here, because they are aimed towards the designer toy market.
And, to everyone else, non-designer toys can be blind boxed too. Lego has its own blind box series, and it isn't a designer toy. Right?

Funko vinyls are based on comics and films, atractive for collectors. Lego sometimes too. But playmobil? What represents? A pirate, a princess, a nurse...

The Rotocasted library is "for the love of toys".
If it was strictly for "designer toys" half of the library should be deleted - including Ashley Wood action figures!!!
I personally think that it is Rotocasted's force that we have several different categories - and not just that vague (and in my eyes outdated) term : Designer Toy.
I love ALL toys, but I mostly collect Japanese stuff. Nevertheless I really don't have any issues about having Funko vinyl figures, Hot Toys action figures, Kidrobot keychains etc., etc. in the library.
Regarding the Playmobil; people are now adding them to their have and want lists!
Peace!

Ashley wood is a designer/artist, his toys are not (for the most part) based on licensed properties, so should be considered "designer toys".
That aside I agree with Jan, I don't see why all toys can't be featured on rotocasted. With a few tags users can soon filter out what they want to see, and what they don't want to see.
And please don't think any of my comments are derogatory to any particular toys, like I said I love all toys, and love all collectors. Its more a question of what the site is designed to be, and only Sergey can answer that question. It is after all his site.

That's right. I thought this site was specifically for designer toys. I'm sorry. Does this mean that all kinds of toy objects are allowed here?
That would actually make things a lot easier.

Where is the line drawn though? Do those loom band sets belong on here because they're popular kid's toys? Do the toys I get in those vending machines at the mall belong here? Does Barbie belong here? Do Skylander figures belong here?
Think about it. Being open to all toy types is ridiculous.
Nerdbomber

I think it needs to be approached kind of what like Coop said, this site should be for BRANDS that were CREATED with the designer toy collector in mind. Lego and Playmobile are not part of this. Maybe they have changed some of their business tactics to aim at new demos but they are kids toys. Plain and simple. Funko on the other hand (as much as I personally do not like them) were initially created as a designer toy brand with a more mass appeal. 5-6 years ago, Funko couldn't give their stuff away at SDCC, now it is an entirely different beast. But the heart of Funko, despite the licensing, is aimed at collectors.
As for the argument with if licensing toys need to go, then KR license figs should be taken off as well. I would argue that the same way and say that despite the license, Kidrobot is still a designer toy company and anything under that brand is a designer toy.
supercooperberella

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I just realized that this site might be aimed towards designer toys only. The Playmobils uploaded before were deleted after a few days. I know that a random user can't delete all traces of a toy on Rotocasted, for we would have a lot less toys on the site.
Also, I don't think the term "designer toy" is outdated. It has many subcategories that keep it alive.
