what other 'types' are there? i thought just about anything on here was considered an 'art' toy... hell, that's the only justification i have when i buy my toys..
I think a base gives it a statue vibe, and this one has a base even if it's incorporated into the design. A 5YL Kaws still has the look of a toy that could be played with, and I don't think this does. But I'm sure we could find examples of items that challenge that definition.

Theres an "ART" type tag now, what justifies one item being any more "ART" than another?

Good question. Besides the occasional clock/bobble head/ what have you, I consider most of the pieces on Rotocasted to be "art" one way or another.

Exactly, art is in the eye of the beholder. To me, this isn't art, but if someone else thinks it is, then thats awesome.
The tags need to be narrowed down, and made into a selection you can choose from, as opposed to typing what you damn like.

There is a statue type, which seems just fine for this guy.

What makes this anymore a statue than a 16" KAWS toy?

no need for a fuss.
This is a custom. We have a label for customs which we always use.

i agree with shankweather, but jazzy does have a good point as well. glad to see it got the right label sorted out though.

I believe Dan is saying this can't be a custom because there is no platform. The custom/one-off debate has been ongoing.

Can't be a custom unless it started as something else. Other wise its just a designer toy and the quantity is 1
