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????????? -

I agree,personal comments are interesting and bring a little humanity to the collecting experience.
I wouldn't like to think we are all po-faced collectors just in it for the investment!
These are toys! Let's have fun! :) -

YESSSSSS!! :D
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

you will not believe what just happened... the shelf where I placed the bird just collapsed, out of the blue. I was the happy owner of the bird for... 48 hours.
(I don't blame my luck, I know it was totally my fault not to secure it properly. I guess I didn't deserved that beauty...)

I love the thing about diversity. I have no feelings for this piece, but other people are ready to pay 400 bucks for it. Now, finally I understand my man, who thinks all my toys are garbage. Obviously it's all about TASTE. I've paid 580 bucks for an insanely rare Coil LP.
Are you ready/ rich enough to get the things you love? -

In reality, pink is clear. Not so vivid. I know it's the same toy because this photo comes from the website where I bought it.
With these white touches, it seems to be in stone ! (very nice, and more funny because of the contrast between this "preciousness" and the finger...) -

i just found this and was blown away by the colorway...rotofugi described it like this:
mongolion with dual-layer clear red over white vinyl, plus a darker red paint rub
sounds like quite a bit of work, they put in the coloring of that little guy -

i know, what you mean, toy. i feel the same
the first one of the mongolions, which really got my attention was the GID version with the clear vinyl and white poured inside (the one, you actually have) ;)
then i just saw this one and fell in love..i needed to get him. :D
and congrats to your new addition as well! -

It seems to be in caramel... Is it more red and less orange in reality ? Or not ?
-
-
14 years ago
miranda, it is clear red vinyl over white vinyl and on top of that a darker red paint, which lets it appear red and orange together.
i wrote both colors there, but only one is allowed...
but i will let you know, how it appears in real life, when i have my package. should be here in a few days :) -

Soooooooooo...i just picked up the package, unwrapped this little guy and took a very close look at him. he is unbelievable pretty and damn well sculpted!
to the COLOR: the official release picture of this red jade mongolion lets him appear orange or caramel, like you said, Miranda... in real life, he appears in a candy like, cherry RED ( under a light bulb though)
i will take a picture of him tomorrow in sunlight and post you guys a link, so you can see the actual color :) -

Hey Miranda. Everyone can become an angel. It just means that you love Rotocasted and supports it with a few bucks each month.
Mods however (we are 10-12) are the ones who really, really love Roto. We're complete toy nerds and have the divine power of correcting things like names, sizes, spelling etc. :) -

Thank you, Jan !
