Check out the comments on supertouch. There is a lot of debate about whether or not he stole his ideas from another artist.

Was I too late to claim a book? I will be so sad if I missed out on this. Please let me know if I made the cut-off, I recieved the email but just saw it the other day. Thanks for this cool promotion, I love this site.

I love Sam Flores' Fatima and Tigerbaby. The Fatima is the sculpt that got me into collecting. It is a perfect transition from canvas to 3-D and it is a stunning piece of affordable art. I think the best toys take the artist's original version and turn them into accurate 3-d models, that are more affordable, accessible, and look great displayed.
