Ruben Procopio is one of the best sculptors around.
He did a lot of the design maquettes for classic Disney films, from The Great Mouse Detective onward, through Beauty and the Beast and Lion King -

hey, if anyone's interested, I've opened up a Tumblr dedicated to animation maquettes, and there's a nice collection of Procopio's work -

I'll keep updating until I've uploaded all the pics I've amassed over the years :) -

thank you Maquette.
It's one of my favorite things, and judging by your name, you don't hate them either! :P
it's such a weird form because it is internal not a lot of people ever get to admire it (more today in the "art of" books), but because it has to be "on model" with the animation, it's one of the most precise, difficult and artful of all the character sculptures out there! ( yeah yeah, I'm gushing about animation maquettes :P) -

This is the first time I've heard of a secret figure, but I honestly kind of like the idea. Only real Dunny fans will even know this exists which makes it kind of cool. Plus I think the overall design is brilliant. The sculpts, the colors and the character of this guy, all look awesome!

I think the reason for this message board exclusivity is the fact that El Birro design/sculpt is based on a custom from Most Wanted 2 - a series curated by KR message board members

I can't believe I'm buying a Dunny! But I am. And I like it. Will be my first. Sad thing is that with international shipping and VAT we end at $48.08. And they don't accept Paypal. * damn, where's my credit card? *

I love that Kidrobot was able to keep this figure so secretive before it's release. When was the last time that's happened?
They also did a bang up job translating Walter's custom work into a production figure. I know they've messed with the Dunny's head sculpt numerous times, but what's great about this figure are the subtle changes. The face ears might be my favorite part (as weird as that sounds). -

They actually might end up at retailers anyway... not much will come to europe but what I "heard" is the distributors will get a limited supply for the shops here...
But i'm not making promises on Kidrobot items ever again.... so no pre-orders / reservations... sorry -

Has been said so much before but I do wanna comment again, don't blame a company like kidrobot (or lot's of times Mintyfresh) for high shipping people blame ALL the shipping services. We are not making money on the shipping fee and I for instant actually lose money on shipping to some countries just to not lose customers !
I'm currently looking into new options for shipping myself but it's not getting cheaper, let we all just agree once and for all shipping = high and there's nothing we can do about it !
Regarding the large box, that's just retarded especcially when you limit people to buy 2.... -

yeah my complaint about shipping isn't primarily about the cost, that was my decission to accept & living in Sweden I understand shipping costs a lot, the box however was easily big enough for 10 / 12 Dunnys, I felt this was mighty wasteful on KR's part & baffled me a little

I have shipped internationally for $10 - $15 many times (small packages, less than 2 lbs). Is it more expensive to ship packages within Europe than to ship from America to Europe?
-
-
-
-
185 83 831
13 years ago
im not sure on real costs, but it certainly varies wildly between the differenet american stores, I have found rotofugi to be consistently the cheapest american shipping to Sweden, usually $10, however circus posterus wanted $35 i think in shipping for one mini figure last time i checked. (not giving out here, just stating my experiences)
-

Are the packages including insurance and tracking ? because I can also send 50% cheaper without these options. Problem is that customers really love claiming their cash back when something "hasn't arrived" and paypal will refund them without any discussion without a trackingcode.
And i talked to many party's past week for a solution to the expensive shipping all around the world, one comapny does not make difference between 1 kg or 30 kg... fact is most of these parcel serivces are focussed on large amout of packages or pallet shipping, that's what they base price off... -

Lots of times shipping does not have anything to do with the size of the box but more so the weight. it wouldn't have been anymore or any less for kidrobot to change the size of that box. I think shipping all depends on the country that you live in. I have gotten camera equipment from Hong Kong and China and the shipping has been free. minty I have checked other stores in your country and the shipping was nowhere as much as yours. Maybe because you provide tracking and insurance I don't know. maybe you should just let the people choose and that is their problem if they don't get it. that can be your disclaimer. I have seen many eBay auctions that give you the choice but the choice is yours .

No, that $10-$15 didn't include insurance and tracking. If you're right about that 1kg/30kg problem, that seems like a market inefficiency. Surely some company can figure out how to ship small packages cheaply.
This is why so many great toy artists are European. It's easier to make your own toys than buy other people's. -

I ship to Europe all the time... because my wife's family is there. shipping from their was much cheaper some years back. but now it has dramatically changed. but some of the prices people are charging for shipping is not correct either. I still send packages all the time with no tracking and no insurance. I just shipped a EL panda to JPK with no tracking. some now and it ended up getting routed through India but it still made it to England. and the time was really not that long even with the problem. I just want to be given a choice whether I want tracking and insurance and maybe I can check a box that says this is at my own risk.

In the starting days of Mintyfresh we did offer the customer to choose with or without insurance / tracking. We did told the people it was at own risk and off course they all agree... until they don't get the package they paid €100 for.
9 out of 10 packages arrived safely but the ones that didn't got refunded by Paypal / Creditcard agencies for not providing a trackingcode and I could not prove the person actually ever got the package.
Even though I wish I could do this and I have to trust the system / people, past has proven me that I rather ship a few packages less because the people think the price is to high then lose multiple packages and money... just not worth the risk.
@GMT , What company is shipping cheper then us ? and what amounts are we talking ?
P.S. I actually just got a call from TNT they will revise my current contract (told them specific prices from DHL, DPD, Fedex etc. ) and next week I will know more. Not going to be major changes but still ! -

I have to look that up again .because I just researched that the other day and I will send that to you or you can check some other eBay auctions from your country but you still remain the Highest shipping ..when it comes to toys.
I don't want to make this a big blowup or anything it's nothing against you I just don't like the shipping prices. -

If there are people that really want to take the risk with the no insurance / tracking option I'm willing to ship packages to them for cheaper rates (only personal emails)
I just don't want the fuss after the package is delayed / not received / damaged, i'm too tired for that stuff and all those damn forms and claims again :D -

Hey People, so just received the documents and this is basically what it's going to be, there will be flat rates for Europe and Rest of the world for all packages below 2000 grams (4.4 lbs.)
1 - 999 gr. = €9,95 (EU) and €17,50 (World)
1000 - 1999 gr. = €12,50 (EU) and €19,95 (World)
everything higher then this will be the "old" rate but for 90% of Mintyfresh customers these fee's will be delicious :)
*Apologies edited the prices a bit -

I have this guy with a mallet in his right hand and nothing in his left.
Signed on the back and numbered 15/20.
He also came with a monkey friend in a green hat holding a bottle.
He's not listed here, does anyone know anything about him? :) -

you have the Artist Proof version(AP), limited to 20, Each will be numbered and signed. It will come with a hand sculpted mallet (each one made individually). Also Birro Hat comes pimped with a fancy bird feather (last minute upgrade not shown on some pictures), and the coolest thing! Birro comes with his trusty sidekick, "Monko" who has the most important job, to keep safe Birro's Beer while he kick ass. Monko is an original sculpt made specifically for the hardcore Birro fans who get this AP, resin casted, and hand painted for yours truly Chauskoskis. Will come inside a nice and hard wood box (also the original KR box.... original price was 105$

WOA GUYS!
the last 3 days were a mess over here. our internet connection made issues and after being many hours with AT&T and their automated calling system on the phone without results, they made me download a connection restoring program, which then froze my laptop up, the second i opened it.
we went to the apple store and got it now working again without any damage and the internet is finally fixed, too!
So now back to the topic and sorry for chewing all your ears up, but i had to rant!!! <3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, it was a joy to read all your comments!
Thank you for putting a smile on my face, Fliphappy,
Elissa <3 , Lordy, J. Walrus, Blot, Shank :) and Minty!!!!!!!!!!
@Fliphappy (and the other interested people): I was supposed to have someone make me a webpage, but that is not just happening, yet for some reason.
and I am not saying, my stuff is not for sale anywhere, but if i can be honest, as much as i would love to put here a "where-to-buy-link" up, i am a little bit afraid to do so, because during the wonderful year, i have spent on roto, i also observed from time to time that there are shocked reactions about the prices of mainly self-produced collectibles....Aaaaaaand of course, i fear the same thing could happen with my stuff.
So, it is out >_<
@ Minty: i shall write you an e-mail ^_^ -

One or two years ago it only happened once or twice each 6 months, but it seams they got their eye on me now. I can hardly order anything now outside the EU without they're charging me. You know what? I have even tried asking sellers to 'down value' the toys on that little label, but the nazis tend to OPEN the package and search for an invoice!
Also, it's unfair that the customs free limit here in Denmark only is $15, I think I remember UK buyers can shop for at least twice that amount without getting caught. :( -

To my Outside EU customers I always send without invoice (not needed when marked gift) and mark value ower then €25. THis cannot always be done with large packages but everything seems to be arrving alright and sometimes ends up the customer being charged a little amount.
Either way Try buying through the Retailers in Europe Jan and ask them to get those pieces you really want, off course ebay stuff is almost impossible but y'all know where to find me :) -

The picture came from the MAD store. If we have to start giving credit for all the production photography, it's going to be a long day. I'll get started on the Dunnies.

What I meant was,when I click on this picture it turns into an advert for some gadget/widget company.Am I the only one with this problem, or is that a new feature of Roto? :)
