He did this great Jimmy in the 80s. He based it on a 3/4 drawing I did of Jimmy, and actually sculpted it as if he was a 3/4 character. A really funny idea I thought.I'd love to make a bendy toy of this.
The crazy perspective reminds me of an old Mad article where kids designed their own christmas toys. It's a cool idea and it strangely works for this one.
ERIC, That link is amazing, I wish they do stuff like that now-a-days, wow.
I love how Jimmy's legs look like rotten potatoes, and his cheeks look like a spanked ass. And the strands of hair everywhere. It's beautiful.. *sniff*
I love how the character has so much going on all over. Even though it's static my eye is traveling all over it checking out the wild fingers, the exposed calves, the red bow tie, etc.. I'm not sure what's going on at the crotch. Is that a fig leaf on the outside of his pants? or is it a wet spot? or . . what is it?
Anyway the face definitely steals the show (which it should in my opinion), but that hasn't held you back from making the rest of him interesting also.

That's really great, what kid wouldn't want one? He's cute and gross at the same time. I especially like his socks and leg freckles.
Beautifully gross!
Does he have a poo surprise on his crotch?
Golly, that's fetching! I can't decide which angle I like best.
When did you take Jimmy out of the Rik Blastoff series and make him into an idiot?
- trevor.
Wow, it looks pretty frickin' scary.

I love it.
Jimmy is my favorite of your characters, I like the slightly different look he's got in this toy. Retro in an honest way.

Good grief! That's hideous!!!!
Nice sock garters.
Was Chris still using Sculpey (or whatever it was called)?
His legs look so diseased! Disney would have cried haha!
the moles and freckles made my skin crawl, I guess that means they're good
That's disgusting.
Just the way I like it!
Boy, Jimmy has come a long way.
And Peterson's "3/4 drawing" sculpting technique is quite intriguing. Especially in the previous statuettes.
I love how the character has
so much going on all over.

eye is traveling all over it
checking out the wild fingers,

Now that's funny. It's like the toy you remember, not the one you had.
+1 on:
"Retro in an honest way."
I didn't realise Jimmy had been around for so long. I love this toy.
Haw! Hilarious! I almost fell out of my chair when I saw these!
