    No it's not that bad. But it is a little bad. It's a 3 on the 1-10 bad scale for handmade toys.

    No we do that one right. That's how you say it, "May 5th." Nobody says "5th of May." Notice how I put the periods inside the quotes, too.

    Why would you take an old male name like Jan and change it into female? Why? Why?
    And what about Kim? Bo?

    sbb that's Spanish. They put their adjectives after their nouns, so they're a mess to begin with. We write out our dates, "December 25, 2011" so we abbreviate them the same, "12/25/11." The metric system is for losers too, and men named Jan are an abomination.

    All in good fun!

    TPJ: Jan the woman's name is usually short for Janice or Janet, and pronounced with a soft G sound. Jan the man's named is pronounced like "yahn," so they're very different things.

    the name "issue" and relation with the genders depends on the countries and even continents, you come from/ live in, combined with the main language of the nationalities.

    i can see the confusion with the typical assigned gender of the name JAN as a female for english speaking nations due the different pronunciation.

    but nobody in europe (perhaps english speaking countries excluded) for example would assume, that JAN is a females name, nor the short version of janet/janette or janice.
    so, where i come from JAN is a complete name for a male and it would never be chosen for a female.
    and i maybe even would say, that people from the UK are used to jan as a male as well, because it is a very common and often given name in the neighbor countries...

    so, i stop this name analyzation now and let toys be our priority

    I love that this is like a place for toy perverts. But the artists ask for it. If it's got sticky out nipples or a camel toe, we're sure as hell going to pick up on it :P oh, and this is a 'she'? Those boobs look more like pecs :/

    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!

  • SillyK angel

    SillyK

    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 :)

    Number 2 under your mouth. It was really cool looking with my facial hair, but I felt it was kinda irritating at nights, because I like to sleep with my face down in the pillow. After a year I pulled it out.

    it looks more like a dead puppy to me, which got later abused as a "canvas"
    and when you check the other 2 puppies in the shop of the artist. one is laying in its own vomit and the other one has tire marks on its back to make it look like, it got driven over by a car...

    i know, everyone has a different taste and the artist might just point out certain problems occuring "on the streets"...but still, that kind of art makes me sad...
