BREAKING FUCKERY
Oh God, I am so, so conflicted,
Someone just sent me an email saying they saw these freshly posted on Etsy.
YouTube video of Dennis Hopper in action
Pantswetting video of this toy in motion
I am sick. Really sick about this, because as you know, the last one of these he posted, the Bill Nighy one, I bought immediately, before even posting it here. And My Paypal finger is itchy like you wouldn’t believe right now. I want these so badly.
But I am going to let someone else have a shot at this. I think I have to. It’s only fair.
But mark my words, if these aren’t sold by the end of the day, they’re going right on the counter over there, and you can all kiss my ass.

HK i’m concerned there’s a gas leak at your place. ARE YOU OK? IS THE CALL COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE? ARE YOU HIGH?

Aw man, why when I’m broke?
February 9, 2010 at 11:01 am
This guy is SO good with the polymer clay sculpting. He doesn’t even have to name these things to know that they’re Dennis Hopper and Conan O’Brien.

Imagine the 32nd C archeologist unearthing a collapsed Ikea shelf and these are underneath…
February 9, 2010 at 11:03 am
super amazing!! i’d totally buy if i had extra toy money right now too.
February 9, 2010 at 11:04 am
#6 TheOldGuy: Brilliant!
February 9, 2010 at 11:06 am
Go ahead push that button. I think COCO would want you to have this. Conan is way better then that Jay Leno shit and he had a mittens. I sure hope he comes back this fall with something that’ll knock em dead.
February 9, 2010 at 11:06 am
@TheOldGuy
…once unearthed, they start jumping around!
February 9, 2010 at 11:07 am
Just have Ann Winchell buy them. No guilt.
February 9, 2010 at 11:08 am
Helen, April & Ann- can I come over to play? You can come over if your Manager say’s it is OK- don’t worry my Daddy will drive.
February 9, 2010 at 11:10 am
John’s work is simply amazing, I’m sure these will be sold by the end of day.
HK, do you have enough whimsicle fuckery for a Regretsy museum?

They are calling you to complete the Army. One of us, one of us, one of us……
February 9, 2010 at 11:12 am
Oh my God, I would kill for the Conan. Alas, I have not seen a paycheck since October. I am well and truly broke-assed, which means my Conan will be going home with some other floozy.
February 9, 2010 at 11:13 am
SKULLY- maybe you could come over and play at Helen, April and Ann’s house. We could just take her all of our Fuckery and have a slumber party. If we get scared or scarred my Dad will come and get us.
February 9, 2010 at 11:14 am
He really is amazing. I couldn’t sculpt my way out of a paper bag. Putting them on a windup body just takes it to the next level. I mean what does go well with a tiny well sculpted celebrity head?
February 9, 2010 at 11:14 am
I don’t get the whole mechanical thing with these, but the sculpting is really good. Its a weird idea, but a well done weird idea. maybe.
February 9, 2010 at 11:15 am
Helen, Ann, April and some other Floozy- have you bought these fucker’s yet? Hurry Up before he posts an Al Green one. Christ.
February 9, 2010 at 11:16 am
If you consider the care put into sculpting these–the price is a bargain.
Too bad I’m not buying right now–I’d get Hopper in a heartbeat.
February 9, 2010 at 11:16 am
i am sorely tempted
February 9, 2010 at 11:19 am
@#17 RCB: Can we make smores? If so, count me in.
February 9, 2010 at 11:20 am
Wouldn’t a tiny guillotine be cute sitting right next to them.
February 9, 2010 at 11:21 am
#23- I will bring the sharpened sticks and I think we may have enough throw aways from regretsy to make us a good Smore’s fire.
February 9, 2010 at 11:24 am
I WANT THE COCO. But alas, I maxed out my credit card yesterday. >:(
I guess I’ll just have to wait for the David Letterman or the Craig Ferguson.
February 9, 2010 at 11:31 am
Mother’s Day is too far off for me to justify this as an early gift. Dammit.
blondeweezie- How about Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert? That’s who I’d like to see.
February 9, 2010 at 11:47 am
dammit!!! Coco sold! I’ve got to make sure i get these updates sooner. I am soooo bummed right now.
February 9, 2010 at 11:47 am
Hopper sold too, FWIW.
February 9, 2010 at 12:00 pm
That Coco video is super awesome. But am I correct the other one is a Hopper hopper?
February 9, 2010 at 12:01 pm
conan was my favorite, and i loved the dancing…so freakin’ funny- especially w/ his theme song…killer, did you break down and buy them?
February 9, 2010 at 12:05 pm
@ #31, No, I said I’d wait and I didn’t cheat. The same person bought both of them – just saw their comment on Facebook. I’m sick about it.
February 9, 2010 at 12:07 pm
awww…sorry to hear that! i wonder who also won that adorable plush conan on ebay- that was pretty cool, too!
February 9, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Robo Coco makes me smile, I must admit.
February 9, 2010 at 12:24 pm
I hope they found a good home. They are lovely and I would love to have one too.
Maybe I could just feed the kids toasty o’s for the week.
February 9, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Larriva’s windups are so awe-inspiring that I forget to look at the rest of his work. His paintings are beautiful! His graphic work is great too.
This would make an excellent Valentine gift:

February 9, 2010 at 12:38 pm
I’m sorry I was late to this party. Oh well, I didn’t want that adorable COCO anyway, his hair was MUCH too bouffant, and that string dance was CLEARLY missing strings!
(Now pardon me while I go nurse my sadness with another type of sour grape…)
February 9, 2010 at 12:58 pm
I can’t help it, these disturb me to no end. Maybe that’s the attraction? But yes, they are skillful sculpted.
October 10, 2011 at 5:25 pm
I think you’ve got it.
February 9, 2010 at 1:05 pm
I think you really need them. I mean, they’re a set. You don’t want to split them up, do you? They’re brothers! Or something.
February 9, 2010 at 1:33 pm
@#36 Meth: Agreed, all of John Larriva’s work is MFing amazing, makes one wonder what he could do with cardboard, string, and foil.
February 9, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I’d like to see Craig Ferguson – but he’s already pretty hyper.
February 9, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Creepy. Creepy. Creepy. No way I am sleeping tonight….
What about Sarah Palin??
February 9, 2010 at 3:50 pm
This guy is absolutely amazing. I love him so!
February 9, 2010 at 3:57 pm
These things are ridiculously good! WTF, yes. Poorly made? heck no!
February 9, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I want!!! But they keep selling out. Grrrr
February 9, 2010 at 4:33 pm
It wasn’t revealed in the listing, but the Dennis Hopper Hopper screams, “Heineken?! Fuck that shit! PABST BLUE RIBBON!” as it hops about.
February 9, 2010 at 4:36 pm
At only $65 – I think these are a great investment in true art. They can only appreciate in value over the years. I see this artist going places in the future. But, even if he / she doesn’t become well known, these particular items stand on their own (or hop around on their own – as the case may be).
Genius!
February 9, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Helen, I am so sorry for your loss. If I had some tinfoil and string, I would make you a card.
February 9, 2010 at 5:04 pm
dammit, i want one of these!
February 9, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Hey, wait a minute. You’re slipping some of the awesome stuff in, aren’t you Helen.
IT’S LIKE I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE.
February 9, 2010 at 6:42 pm
@ #44, not everything here is poorly made!
February 9, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Okay , they are well made but I can’t look at them without my skin crawling.
February 9, 2010 at 7:14 pm
Not for lack of appreciation of the artistic skillfulness factor, but these things give me some creepy flashbacks to a weird looking, scowling, androgynous, wood-faced puppet named Casey on a kids TV show when I small enough to have the shit scared out of me every time Mr. Dress-Up came on with that demonic little friend of his. I had recurring nightmares about that pickle-nosed doll and nearly crapped my sweatpants when I saw the Bill Nighy jumping head a couple weeks ago. **shiver**
February 9, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Those are great.
I want to see a video of a bunch of them hopping around all at once. I like to go to Target and make all the baby dolls cry or the singing dolls sing- I wanna see these all hop!
February 9, 2010 at 7:31 pm
I don’t know if I’m the emailer you’re talking about, but yea. Last night I was on regretsy really late, and went over to etsy just for shiz ‘n giggles. Really, this was so crazy, I thought maybe I had fallen asleep in my post 2am internet daze, and dreampt it all up. But apparently I didn’t. Sometimes dreams do come true.
February 9, 2010 at 9:21 pm
They are excellently made and all, but those things still scare the shit out of me.
October 10, 2011 at 5:27 pm
He should resin cast the faces so the poor kids on the other side of the tracks (ME) can buy repros, and then he can up the price of the originals. I think he’s got a good thing here.
February 9, 2010 at 11:17 pm
wonder if he would do that fucking cat.
February 9, 2010 at 11:19 pm
I always call it that fucking cat- Helen could we have a contest to name that fucking cat- he/she needs a name. I am convinced some pretty fucking good names will be thrown at yah.
February 10, 2010 at 12:43 am
If he makes a Christopher Walken one, I am SO FUCKING JUMPING ON THAT MOTHER.
October 10, 2011 at 5:23 pm
You’ll have to get by my fat jealous arse! I want C.W. on a cowbell body. Anything after that is just glitter tears on an eagle.
February 10, 2010 at 1:32 am
Ooh! Ooh! I got dibs if he makes a Zombie Michael Jackson one!
February 10, 2010 at 10:46 am
I’m thinking of getting one of these and having it as a surprise for my little guy…imagine him seeing it when he wakes up in the middle of the night hopping toward him!
February 10, 2010 at 11:48 am
i wonder how much he’d charge to make an april winchell one.
June 8, 2011 at 3:50 am
This stuff is a little bit scary. I can’t dare to look Dennis Hopper and Conan O’Brie’s head on my table. But yeah I admit they are cute. How good that guy sculpted their head just by using clay. Thanks and I am a year late before discovered this blog or else I lost my money for this nonsense but funny things. Sorry to say that. I know their head are already in a good hand!
August 1, 2011 at 12:07 pm
Hilarious! Look at Dennis Hopper’s face. It seems like he don’t like his face being sculpted. But Conan O’Brien super loved it hah? He really gave a big smile. Ha-ha! Who’s the guy sculpted their head? I like it. Is it still available or does he have another works like this? I want to have one but it is okay if I request for Barack Obama’s head? Surely the result is super cute and I love to put it on my office table.
October 10, 2011 at 5:20 pm
I don’t have one single bit of snark for these. They are purrrrrrfect. I bask in their glow.
