Big T + Little C + Barry - BFFS Series 2 - Travis Cain

Ok, I've had a pretty bad week, so I wanted to leave this blog until my mood was a little better. I had a theft incident earlier this week, a man walked into my home & stole my bag. Now, generally this wouldn't be a problem, except that my bag was covered in 17years of badges I'd collected & keychains, patches etc. The sentimental loss is overwhelming. Mostly, I've been trying not to think about it.
So, to move on to better subject, lets continue with my tooth obsession. As I've mentioned before, I have serious issues with the dental industry, dental hygiene, just teeth in general. As a result, I feel the need to portray that aspect of myself through at least a small portion of my toy shopping. So I went hunting & I found Travis Cain. His toys are adorable! There are a few pieces from his BFFS series that I'd love to acquire, but the teeth took priority. Big T is just the most adorable little tooth ever!

So I browsed on ebay & found a Big T + Little C + Barry for myself. Nothing cuter then a tooth decayed by candy corn!
There are other Travis Cain toys I want(including another tooth), mostly the ones that relate to me(coffee, lungs etc), but I'm just glad to have another tooth to sit amongst my other toys.

Just another small addition to my collection. I'm in the process of trying to save for a couple of larger toys, so my purchases have been a little slow lately. I am, however, trying to buy reasonably regularly, mostly for the benefit of my readers. Always more I want & I always find a way to justify spending the money! This week, I only have one more toy to share with you all. Hopefully this 'lull' won't be long-lived. Maybe next week I'll share a few things I 'want' instead of things I 'have'!

Tooth Decay - Creo Design - Gloss White

I recently blogged about Creo Designs latest creation 'Tooth Decay' & my concerns that I would never own one. As luck would have it, I did get one(limited to 9). Mine arrived this morning(thank you Mr. UPS man) & I think it's officially my new favourite art figure.
I love that Chris Alexander took the time to stencil the boxes he shipped the figures in. He also produced little Certificates of authenticity for these series. Mine is 7 of 9, for anyone who was interested.

It's a truly stunning piece, so much prettier in real life, then in my photos. It stands at 7inches & it truly shows it's size, it's surprisingly heavy. Buyers had a huge selection of colours to choose from, I settled on gloss white with a black tooth. Quite happy with my colour choices, it'll make a beautiful statement piece when I get my new desk to display it on. For now, it sits with my horror toys on my bookshelf glaring at me for a more central display location.

I think I may have become a little Creo-obsessed. I hope everyone is incredibly jealous of my latest acquistion & expect more Creo Designs toys to be added to my collection in the near future. Tragically, I have a new monetary obligations over the next few weeks, so my toy purchases will be greatly diminished for a while.
