So what is the bird dog lady lacking? What is the quality that a Formal or an Uglydoll has that Parra's figures don't? They're all simple, clean sculpts, with simple paint jobs. What separates them?

Needs 2 big bunny ears, and a Kidrobot logo on the bottom of its foot.

Personally I appreciate Parra. I don't own any of his pieces, but I find the clean, simple form and curves of his style appealing.

I like his cheeky/filthy sense of humour, and the french styling. Magnifique!

@shank, his faces and boots bother bother me. just not my style.. and it also bothers me that his feet look broken (ive had a compound fracture, so maybe that has something to do with it..) reminds me of something my grandma would collect. Please keep formal outta this, he is a gentlemen ;)

My love for Parra started out with his graphic work. To see this translated in a 3D form, is just amazing for the fans! Also, I think it's great that his typical and recognizable style (typo & character) seems timeless after almost being unchanged for 10 years.

I called the owner of Toykyo today. They recently told me that they have collectors who purchase every sculpture they make. So i guess they get contacted first. The previous birds were for sale at Toykyo for +-$500 each, Colette sold them for +-$1080 :-s and they were gone in no time. The new birds are $400 each + shipping.
Let me know if you want to buy one, i can call right away. -

Vera, listen, please...I don't have an issue about other people's semi-personal comments. I love them! Sil and I did that, but some people were annoyed. As far as I see it, it makes Roto alive. It's not like the clever comments are standing in queue!!!! Mostly it's just ; "I love this..blah blah".... But the moment people are getting personal, it's all : GET A ROOM! . Roto was meant to connect people, right?
Maybe in the near future Sergey will add a chat room????????? -

that pic made me smile up to both ears!! smart idea and i gotta say, i love your taste in shoes! i would wear that kind and color of shoe, too...but it seems, like you got tiny feet! lucky girl! -
13 years ago
actually, I am terribly unlucky with shoes :-( I have tiny feet indeed, but not enough tiny for those beautiful red shoes... I just bought them online and unfortunately they are too small. I love them a lot, so they might end up as... display shoes, haha. lesson learnt: never buy shoes online, buy only toys :-)
-
13 years ago
@ penguin: i gotta agree, it looks bigger than i expected as well, but as vera said, she has tiny feet, hence the shoes are tiny, too ;)
@vera: may i ask for your shoe size? your feet might look like baby ones next to a 10 1/5 - 11
and can't you exchange those ones for a size bigger or was that an ebay auction and not an online store??? -
13 years ago
I wear size 36 (european) and yes, it was an eBay auction, no bigger sizes available.
the bird is a bit bigger than I expected too, but well, shoes are small :-D

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). ;-)

That would be mean, wouldn't it hu8o? ;-)
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
Quick photoshop of what it may look like... :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 really want this one! Is it flocked? I do like the others but its the only Kozik bust I would be able to display without making one of my friends feel uneasy.

does the flocking make maintaining the piece difficult?

It IS delicate to handle, but on the other hand, it just has to stand still :-)
What's great about this piece (and isn't mentioned here) is that this comes with a screenprinted musicsheet signed and numbered by Malcolm McDowell (Alex de Large in A Clockwork Orange). -

I don't think the 'year' is correct on this. The orignal Ludwig Van busts came out in 2008, but the flocked one was only released last year I'm pretty sure.
