I have a lot of respect for the LRG community and I have a release coming up that you might be interested in!

 

DESPAIR is a 3" Rubber Mini Figure designed by Terrence Brown II, Sculpted by October Toys and cast by Tru:Tek of Disart Toylabs.

Despair will be released at 6:66pm EDT on October 31st at faqcomedy.bigcartel.com for $25 plus shipping.

 

This is serving as the special edition release of my Stand Up! Records debut "Can We Afford This Much Despair" so each figure will come packed with a download code for the album.

 

There will be 10 different colorways in various edition sizes availble at the drop (some as small as 10). Initially, Despair will be sold exclusivley in my store and wherever I am performiong. Eventually, they will also be available at standupcrap.com (who will aslo have the Red and Black Marbled exclusive color). Additonally, there will be one "Ultimate Collector's Set" offered. This set will include the 10 colorways available in my store as well as the Red and Black Marbled Stand Up! Records Exclusive and the super limited Clear Blue colorway. I'm splitting the stock between my store and my release show, so if something sells out on Halloween there is a chance a few more will pop into the store in the following days.

 

See pics here www.adamquesnell.com , at the above store link, or on my instagram.

 

Thanks so much for your time.

So, this was sculpted by George Gaspar?

[faqrulesyou]

No, ironmask, it wasn't. We commissioned the prototype sculpt through Ayleen at October Toys and it was sculpted by one or more of the artists they have on staff! We were really happy with how it turned out and couldn't have gotten more help and support from Ayleen at OT.

Additionally, if there is a better spot on the LRG forums for this post, please let me know. I don't want to be posting in the wrong places, etc... Have a great week everybody!

Hm. Interesting.

 I took the liberty of moving this to the appropriate forum for member customs and artwork. No worries.

Nice figure! (can I say that without getting slapped?)

Seriously though, that thing is pretty sweet!

Please update us when you get pricing.

[faqrulesyou]

Thanks for the move, ironmask!

Thanks, Jon! I'll update the thread with pricing and webstore links and such when we post the rest of the colors and the header!

 

We just recieved the box from Tru:Tek today and we are way too excited about it.

I just had to pop in to say how excellent your figure is, especially in the neon purple "MIMP" colour on your blog!

 

 

I had no idea that October Toys employed a whole team of artists. Whoever did it is clearly a talented sculptor and has really got George Gaspar's sculpting style down pat

I could go for an orange and blue marbled one...

[faqrulesyou]

Sorry for the bout of silence! Between getting the toy ready for the drop, work, and comedy stuff, I've been spread stupid thin. Thanks for the kind responses. I updated the main post with the rest of the details. I really appreciate the interest. I will try to check the forums more regularly in case anyone has any questions, and you can feel free to hit me up via the contact info on my website or my store.

That's my favorite for sure!
