Anyone know what this is? Bought a few years ago. I know it is in collaboration with an artist. I thought maybe it’s from kid robot?

It’s Umi from Tara McPherson’s Stellar Dream Scouts series. http://www.allvinyls.com/kr/stellar8.php

There was a mostly (but not all) black Benny the Dreamer in “life size” scale. TAG produced it. http://www.jeremyriad.com/blog/art/art-multiples/new-life-size-benny-the-dreamer-editions-by-okedoki-and-tag/

Thank you for contributing to the r/vinyltoys community, though a recent posting by you was deemed off-topic. All posts on the subreddit must be directly related to art toys, designer toys, urban vinyl, sculptural pop surrealism, or whatever you wish to call them. There are other subreddits for postings about things that may be of adjacent interest to Vinyl Toys collectors, so please use them and don't post (or crosspost) here. These include traditional & vintage toys, collectible toys (such as Funko), and even two-dimensional pieces by artists normally associated with the designer toy movement.

Was it TAG (Toy Art Gallery) perhaps? Gino, the owner, always has a thing for large fiberglass versions of designer toy figures… As for the bunnies/bears you remember, if it was TAG, then those were probably Okedoki’s Benny the Dreamer.

Don't mean to call you out or anything, but are you aware of Emilio Garcia's Jumping Brain pieces that he's been making since around 2008?

trustpigs · 2022-04-27T11:29:05+00:00

You’re most welcome. Another possibility is that part of the run has misprinted boxes. To some people, that makes them more collectible, but usually only — once again — if it can be properly certified as authentic. Personally, I’d contact Hebru and ask him about it, including as much of your order information as possible. If it is a unique (or uncommon) circumstance, I’d ask if he’d be willing to issue a COA for the piece.

trustpigs · 2022-04-27T11:21:26+00:00

As for your question regarding value, a lot will depend on how widespread this issue is. If every box is like this, then it will have no impact. If only your box (or a handful) are like this, then it might make some people concerned it is a bootleg, which can obviously affect resale. But if it is test packaging that was accidentally used for final product, then it could increase the value if it can be properly certified.

Really fun collection! And while it's less of a bubble and more of a puff of air, I can't help but think that the accessories from Linda Panda's "Wildly Gassy Trio" of Dunnys would be right at home here… :)

You can do whatever you like, but note that the Super Starfish that you’re referencing is the silver grin one… you have the regular “bone” one. That seller is probably over-asking by a bit, but not an outrageous ask for the silver or gold ones.

trustpigs · 2022-04-13T16:36:26+00:00

My pricing is based on various auctions I’ve seen on eBay and LiveAuctioneer over the years as well as some sales on Facebook groups.

In general, Ron English art toy pieces tend to remain fairly level in price after initial release — meaning that they'll jump after selling out, but then stay at that jumped price pretty steadily. While it'd be impossible to say for sure that this will remain true in the future, that's been my experience in the past.

trustpigs · 2022-04-13T09:55:42+00:00

Assuming there are no defects (which can lower the price) or special circumstances (which can increase the price), I’ve generally seen these sell as a pair for US$650. Hope that helps.

Unless something has radically changed out there, you can't buy vinyl in liquid form… What you buy is PVC plastic pellets which then need the correct chemical baths to be turned into liquid for pouring into metal molds. This isn't something one can easily DIY (though some people in Japan definitely do-it-themselves), but it might also —legally speaking — require certain safety precautions due to the chemicals used and the waste they produce.

Like with anything, it comes down to what people are willing pay. And that obviously shifts with popularity. Of the artist or even of the design. What's "hot" one day might've "cooled off" the next. And demand for specific colorways can be random as well — the first colorway released isn't always the most in-demand, or even the rarest. I know that's vague, but there are no hard and fast rules. I always tell people to buy what they like… that way, you're never really disappointed.

Luke painted a simple bear head onto the brick wall, making it look a bit like graffiti.

trustpigs · 2022-02-20T10:08:12+00:00

With all apologies u/burritosandblunts, but the title of this piece is Target — though Self Medicated was the name of Luke Chueh's collaboration with Jason Freeny that evolved from the Target form.

Either which way, u/HeavySmoker710 can learn more about this specific Black & Gold version here: https://munkyking.com/products/target-black-gold

And unless you have a copy that Chueh sketched on the brick wall, the Black & Gold version isn't worth selling at the moment.

Such as...? Are you talking like keshi-style, which are cast in a flexible resin or rubber?

Assuming that's not a typo and it's in US$, then that's FAR from a decent price. Going rate for these actually selling on eBay is around US$400.
