WHAT'S NEW

*REVIEW* Ron English's "Fat Tony" vinyl figure

Last week I posted a little info about an upcoming release from Ron English, and told you I would follow up with another post when we got more info... well, I one-up'ed that and thanks to Tenacious Toys, I actually got one of these figures in had to do a proper LIVE review! Now, if you are reading this you may notice in the above video that I am having some dialog... well, that's because I recorded this video LIVE and had people watch... something I do at random times to get the community involved... now onto the review! Dubbed "Fat Tony" this awesome 9" tall vinyl figure, with articulated arms from English is by far my favorite figure from him to date, and based on a guerilla cereal box advertising campaign that Ron placed on some super market shelves a while back... they have made the leap from 2D to 3D! According to the press release "Introducing Fat Tony: A Ton of Tiger with a Short Shelf Life The 100% Nutrition-Free Vinyl Toy. Sugary cereals captured the hearts of Young America by giving away cheap toys made in China in every box. This prize at the bottom of the box actually ate the cereal. A delicious shortcut to attention deficit disorder!"

I really like this figure and above is the "OG" colorway which is limited to 500 pieces is set to retail for just $60, a great deal if you ask me, and since we recorded this video Tenacious Toys is long sold-out... and I am having a tough time finding him anywhere online... so congrats to Ron on this self produced figure! There is only one thing that bothers me about the figure itself though, as mentioned before, that the scarf around Tony's neck is orange and not red... it looks like a skin-scarf, weird. Other than that, it's a rad LARGE figure and from what I understand there will be other colorways to follow, so keep your eyes peeled!

A big thanks to Benny over at Tenacious Toys for donating this figure so I could do this review... and I would tell you to go buy one from him, but like mentioned above, they are sold out... but that does not mean you shouldn't support Tenacious Toys because they have a TON of other stuff to purchase... so go HERE now and get some shopping done!
