Painting Wackys keeps me on my toes...

I'd really like to use Rob's drone and target this topic for all the phalange shenanigans and puns, but its too early in the year for anything having to do with missiles and  toes.

[Joe G.]

Neil, these are great!  I saw them last night on eBay and was tempted to post them but I didn't want to step on your toes.

Can you say "foot fetish"?

You really have a way with arch humor!
Talus your inspiration.

You're walking a fine line Joe...

[Joe G.]

Neil, just following your lead.  In fact let me post the Wacky I painted for WP 2014 Series 1.  It's card 39 in the base set, for those keeping track.

That's a wonderfull piece!! Excellent work Joe, I can make a fine sketch card of that image!

Beautiful and funny at the same time! That's what you call an amazing "feet"!

[Joe G.]

Vincenzo, thanks and if you do a Fruit Troll Ups return card I may just have to buy it from you!

Neil, it means the world to me to get your praise, sorry if that sounds a bit corny.

Nice job! Too bad that's your sole entrant in this series.

And Neil, I love your paintings as well, especially Blubberfingers. With titles like these, I plantar pick up more of this set than the last few.

Two questions:
1) In the base set, is "Cream of Feet" based on a 1970's Jay Lynch rough?
2) In the RIDICULOUS READS subset, is it true the Richie Retch comic book Wacky Package done by John Pound originally planned for the never made 1992 series has now finally seen light of day in this subset?

[wackydustin]

I did 4 approved concepts for the NEW 2014 Wacky Packages series 1 set
that is currently being released, here's one of my concepts
"Shave 'N' Bake" I am not sure who painted the final but I think it came out great!
If I was to Guess I'd say Fred Wheaton.

[Joe G.]

Dustin, congrats that's awesome!  From what I've seen this is shaping up to be a classic set!  Your Shave and Bake gag is great!

Great concept Dustin! It's the toe-tal package! Can't wait to see the rest!

Each series seems to have one card where the artwork is different than all the others. This series is't #54 Elmo.

[BumChex]

Here is what a medallion looks like. Tough to really see but it's a metal embossed medallion. It looks like the patches from the last series. There is a tiny gape between the top of the card and the actual metal. I just took a picture with my phone to help see it better at an angle. You know which packs have the medallion. The packs are about 2-3 times as thick as a regular pack. No mystery there.

Also, here are the two patches I pulled. There is supposed to be one or a couple short prints. I wonder if Band-Ache is one of them. I'm only guessing because Pupsi was and both Pupsi and BA are a couple of most peoples favorites.

Thanks for the pics Brad. The medallions look sharp. The patches are kinda hard to get a feel for from the pictures. What do you think of them? They certainly aren't embroidered pathes. Are they like a vinyl patch?

The patches feel like fabric but I'm not an expert. they are about twice as thick as a card. I don't think you peel any backs and stick with these. I would think you would need an old fashioned sewing machine.

[De-Mented Tomatoes]

does anyone know how many bonus cards there are in total and where to get them?

Now the plates are are facing forward and not flipped.

[Joe G.]

Could someone please post a checklist.  in LA we're still awaiting for these to hit stores.

Joe, I can tomorrow if no one else does. It will cost you $5 though...Haha sorry, it's a family joke. We have kids here all the time and they will ask me for a snack or something to drink and my response is "OK, but it will cost you 5 dollars". I'm so used to saying it that I was at the grocery store a few weeks ago and I was putting my shopping cart away and this lady said "I'll take your cart" and I told her sure but it will be 5 dollars. You should have seen the look on her face. I just started laughing. Just kidding!

Here's one of four that I painted for this set...

Brad, thanks, I'd appreciate it!  Still dying to get all the details on this set.
