The Official Putrid Pal launch!

It's the official Putrid Pal toy launch day!

He stands at around 5" tall and is limited to 300 pieces for each colorway. The Putrid Pal is available for pre-order at crazylabel.com (orders to be shipped in 2 weeks). He should be in shops in March (here is a full list of retailers that carry Crazy Label toys)!

SRP is (US) $29!

order now!

Knock! Knock!

Guess who arrived from Hong Kong? 

 

Andy Woo sent me a set of the hand painted prototype Putrid Pals! 

Yow - thanks, Andy!

They all look amazing - you guys will not be dissapointed when you see them in person.

Line up, kids!

These are the hand painted gloss first runs - the finals will have matte paint, except for the gooey faces and hands.  Icky!

 

And just so you know, they're big!  They may look small in the photos, but they stand about as tall as Treeson or say Enid (but wider due that enormous skull of his!).  I'm 6' 5" tall and look how big he is in my hand! 

 

The Putrid Pal - production samples - the box!

Here comes the Putrid Pal, kids!  According to Andy of Crazy Label, retail availability should be in March, so start spreading the word!

Limited edition of 300 pieces only for each colorway.

Andy will also be accepting orders in February ( if you need it even sooner)!

Now, I'm going to go pass out from excitement...

 

The Putrid Pal - gloss painted prototypes

My cute/slimy little toy friend creeps nearer and nearer.  February is the release date at this point, so save your pennies.  In the mean time, here are some hand-painted prototypes from Andy Woo and Crazy Label!

Looks like Andy Woo and Crazy Label are one step closer with the Putrid Pal toy!

The Putrid Pal toy!

Well I can officially announce that I'm working with Andy Woo and Crazy Label (maker of Treeson, Seamour Sheep and many more) and a Putrid Pal toy is coming soon! To say that I'm excited is an understatement.

Andy and his artists have done a smashing job. Have a look at these wax models...

 

 

Still amazed to see my name here on a toy!
