Cool Dino!

Poor Ox I know your trying and my hats off to Baxter too for trying but the is no love or respect for Spastik. I've tried over the years but now I just accept it. Spastik will always be my #1 Funko passion I'm just glad there is a few people out there that share my love. Since Ox posted I will too here is my Gill collection including the hand painted proto.

Very awesome, jacob!
I just see the downfall of spastik as cheaper prices for rarer pieces!! :-)

Postby **0xTurtle** » Wed Jun 10, 2015 10:12 am

D@mn Jacob, those elusive Gills ALL lined up... impressive as always and those hand-painted pieces *speechless* :headbang:

rest assured, at the very least I'll keep rocking the Spastik for the group!

$\:D/$ Baxter, thanks for the thread AGAIN dude!

The funny part is I am not talented enough so that actually that picture is not photoshop

Some day we will have a pop thread like this. Remember when...

Rev, I don't know what your talking about. I LOVE the Spastik line. They are the best thing Funko has (had?) going. It's one thing to license a bunch of characters and crank out cutesy toys but original art is by far superior. I wish they would do more. I am hoping that the Hikari line produces more original items (e.g. Ron English Star Skull).

Back in Dec of 2011, i got a 1/1 Chrome Mr Hyde from LTJPEZKID (Skott) today...he told me that Rob Schwartz (designer at Funko) sent this to him...they were experimenting with "chroming"....little bit of Funko history.

Carol

first time seeing that piece and, wow, makes me a bit sad they stopped when they did... oh, what could have been

still, happy to hear/see more and more Funko history, thank you very much :thumbleft:

Chrome Spastiks would have been absolutely killer!

One of the very rarest. Took me three years to find one with the shield.

I'm curious if you know if this was based on Bill Campbell's work? He's the artist that was responsible for the design of the Hawk Weird-ohs which were later reissued as Testor's models:

Several years ago I helped his daughter set up a web page on my site to help her sell some of his prints. The page is still there although I don't know if she still offers the prints or not:

http://www.treswright.vervehosting.com/ ... rints.html

Anyway, would be cool if that's one of his designs, if so I had no idea there was a parallel between him and Funko.

There are several piece in the Spastik Line that have a Weird-Ohs or Rat Fink feel to it, that is part of my attraction to it. I am sure both Bill Campbell and Big Daddy Roth along with others like Johnny Ace and Dirty Donny to mention a few were influences to Funko original artist Wilky and Rob Schwartz. They are the main artist that designed the Spastik PlastiK line of all original Funko characters.

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 5:07 pm

Loving the new pics!

Thanks for the background info! I thought maybe Campbell himself was involved which would have been cool, but certainly tribute pieces by other artists that were influenced by his work are fun to see as well :-)

I have several tat's that were inspired by Ed Roth/ Dave Deal/ Sonny DePalma/ Von Dutch. It's a shame they've all passed. I grew up with that hot rod culture stuff, love it! I was good friends with Dave Deal for over a decade, right up until he passed away. I still keep in touch with his son. Those guys were all very talented artists but really down-to-earth types too.

Probably my favorites from the Spastik line, the T-bones. Only ones I have but I love them!

Postby **misterjstewart** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 9:19 pm

Nice cows, Austin! I like the T-Bones too but have yet to include one in my collection.

Postby **dakook** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 9:20 pm

Awesome, austin!

I've been living under a rock, but finally seen the light shine of Spastiks!
Here is my early Tuesday contribution-

Another bad episode of the Bachelorette! lol

Postby **Deezy** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 9:06 am

Need some clarification :
Are Monkey Assassin no longer part of a Funko line? Are they seperate now?

Also, I bought a subscription box for these. I'm so anxious to see them.
July - red white and blue clear
August- Camo monkey
September - golden idol
October - Headless monkey
November - Gingerbread Monkey
December - black and purple Monkey with nightmare before Xmas mask

Postby **Reverend** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 10:32 am

Awesome picture, and the original vinyl assassin were Funko. Those have not been made for several years, since then paper+plastik has decided to make a resin recast of the monkeys, so they are not Funko anymore.

Postby **Reverend** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 10:49 am

Here are all the Monkey Assassin Funko made

Hand Painted proto, GITD, Shadow, B/W, and original (they were two runs on B/W and original made)

Hand Painted proto, Blood Splatter set (on top row) and Pop art set (on bottom row)

Postby **Deezy** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 11:23 am

Thank you for the clarification. It makes alot more sense now.
Those are awesome Jacob! Love the blood splattered ones!

Postby **BigM** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 3:11 pm

Very cool Diane! Love the theme.
Jacob, rocking as always #funkobada**
