Can this be classed as a toy as it's a stool? Discuss :)
-
-
14 years ago
That is a good question.
I feel like "vinyl toy" takes on a larger meaning. A stool is not a toy, but then some of the vinyl toys out there are probably close to sculptures. To me, vinyl toy just ends up taking on the definition of a 3D piece of art with some portion of the playful attitudes of childhood, be it cartoony, or imaginative, or like 3A reflecting the age of playing with toy soldiers.
Plus, if I bought this, I would not sit on it. -

I Agree with what DNA has already said. Take for example, the giant 4 foot Kaws dissects, which aren't toys either, but still listed on here. Same could be said for the giant smokin Labbit seats.
I would like to know restrictions to what can be posted also, but I know what you're saying.
I just try to keep it in the Kidrobot world. -

I was reluctant to put it on here at first, but it's Kidrobot and Amanda Visell; it seems like it has to be on here. But this does come pretty close to not belonging.

it has eyes and is playful. It's a toy because you interact in your mind the same way you do with any toy. I would put my Treeson toys on that stool! I love 'em!

Brain Pattern? To me it looks a lot more like intestines.
-
-
14 years ago
Yes! I agree...I think thats because the lines between the ridges are black, suggesting no connection at all, like in intestines, rather than with valleys like a brain?
IRL it looks a little more brain-like though. I'm not sure why.

please explain to me what is so great about this piece?
-
-
14 years ago
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.
-
-
14 years ago
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
-
14 years ago
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. -

Dammit, Sil...what's your sleeping hours over there? Just today a Mongo like this appeared on ebay...but it's gone now!

NOW I just H A V E - T O stop buying toys for the next month...my man promised me some cash if I could resist! -

my TOY, i am not always on the computer and my sleeping time depends on how, when and if i am able to fall asleep. ;)
i might have to give you my phone number, too, so you could emergency text me if a grey ghost mongo ever pops up on the surface again, hmm?
oh and btw... you just made me laugh with your last sentence...i really really reaaaaally hope for you, that there won't be any good releases or opportunities to snatch long sold out toys for the next month, so you can grab some cash from your man and then later on invest it in more toys again ;) -
