I find it amazing that people continue to call Tristan’s figure, “Yo Momma.” Big Tris himself calls it, “Your Momma” and it’s clearly printed on the box as such (more than once).

It’s all subjective kids, so put the toys back in the pram.
Saying the list blows ain’t much help in educating me about why I’m wrong. Although technically I can’t be wrong and neither can you. That’s the beauty of opinions. Crazy world we live in ain’t it?

To me Muttpop look like action figures. But if they float your boat, more power to you. I think your taste sucks and you think mine does. Equality for all. Mono Kaws over Colour. Yep, guilty as charged. To me, it looks better. Simple as. And Snorse just rocks.

So what would have up? There’s always room for healthy debate here. Enlighten me.

“your momma” and “fatima” both look like action figures, except it looks like sam flores’ toy has a bad case of elephantitis. i don’t think your list is entirely wrong, but i definitely wouldn’t list kaws twice (especially for those toys), and i think there were other truly interesting figures produced: squbes, kozik’s “bird is the word,” and el panda (which looks too much like an action figure for you).

Fair play. I hear your point on Fatima and Your Momma. I never liked the tiger baby for the elephantitis reason, but it works for me with Fatima - in his paintings and the toy. Squbes are cool don’t get me wrong. But the table sized one was truly interesting, the toy sized ones just lost something in the translation. Bird is the Word is a nice sculpt and interesting, but Mickey ears are a bit played out in my opinion. A bit of a contradiction there in that I rate Kaws work so much, but I just think he did more with it. And as I said the Muttpop stuff I can appreciate, but they just don’t inspire me. All that said it’s good we all disagree. It means the market’s varied and healthy. and touchwood will stay that way.

good point this list being subjective, but my ultimate question is- was this list designed to exemplify the specifics and appeal of succesful toys to those interested in the toy scene? or was this concocted by a toy guru who was hoping at glorifying those toys that did not get the mass recognition that he/she believed they deserved? If so, then whatever- your list may be good to you but it does not apply to all denominations of toy collectors. boom shakalaka.
