Got a young son or kid brother? Have him look at this and tell me if he'd buy an action figure like this. Or would you?
This is Rip in his natural street wear. He is part of the Ripping Friends Super Hero group.
They are the world's most manly men. So manly, in fact that they don't actually have super powers, because super powers are cheating and are for wimps. The Ripping Friends win their battles though sheer raw manly muscle, will power and the ability to take pain. The more they hurt themselves, the more they love it.
The Ripping Friends are Time Travelers. They exist always and everywhere there is evil to be vanquished. How do they go through time? With superior scientific technology? No. Through combined rage. They are so manly, they can
rip through time. They just reach out their massive angry arms and grab a chunk of space and time in their hands and rip holes in it. It hurts like the Devil to do this and they scream at the top their lungs while suffering for humanity. When Hitler,
Genghis Khan or Nebuchadnezzar's armies of evil come bursting through the holes, The Ripping Friends beat the living crap out of them.
Here's Rip ready to climb Mount Olympus to kick the crap out of the Gods.
Here's Rip in his voyage to the ugliest part of the ocean gear.
Here's Rip ready to rip tomorrow.
Tell me whether the boys in your family want manly toys like this that can beat Hell out of G.I. Joe, He Man, Ken, Elmo and every
WWE wimp.
The Ripping Friends build up their tolerance for hurt every morning in their pain machines. "They also practice disciplined marching exercises and sing the "Whistle While You Wince" battle song.
By the way, I drew the first Rip and the costumes and color were done by Bruce
Timm, Lynne
Naylor, Jim Smith and me. There are many more too.
This is Rip giving their arch-enemy a Purple
Nurple for trying to destroy the earth.
These happy lads seem to be saying "We Love the Ripping Friends Toys! Yeah Yeah Yeah, Oh Baby Oh!"
If you wanna see more Spumco toy action click this sucker:
I think Ketcham and his crew have a perfect balance of skill, style, cartooniness and observation.
I have a Dennis comic that has some wonderful drawings of cows, cars, houses
and of course, milfs.
I want to do a post on one of these things they excel at.

Hey folks. I'm making some toys again and will need some good cartoony sculptors. Preferably in the LA area.
This is the kind of style. If you are into this cartoony stuff and want some work doing really fun toys, let me know in the comments. Put a link to your samples if you have them on a site.
I'm working with a couple of good sculptors now, but we are expanding and will need more.
Let's say you saw a grab-bag full of these Little babies hanging from a peg in your local drug store or 7-Eleven and it cost 2 or 3 bucks of lousy US dollars.
I know David is gonna want this one. It's his favorite expression.
