Chief, the Inaction Figure is here

| 5 Comments

I got a tiny package from Sarah Trott in the mail. It was heavy, it looked very nice, it was addressed by hand. It had a bright sticker on it: Contents: ( ) Liquid, ( ) Fragile, ( ) Perishable, ( ) Hazardous, (x) None of the above.
I knew this was Chief. My very own personal chief.
I was late for the Subway so I did not open the package until on the Number (1) Train. The train was packed, but I had my Swiss Army Knife which i used to open the little package. As soon as I opened the (little) blad of the knife, there was a little more room for me in the last car. I then pulled out the little guy, who looked like a fragile chicklet, in his red cutoff sock. In fact, the Chief is a full plastic “toy” he looks cute, but I had to put the sock over the one I have here, because he is really dangerous. He almost pecked a hole in my head when I tried out the beak. A serious piece of plastic. And it is the only Toy I own that has no © signs, on it. I mean, even Lego is filled with branding. Not so the Chief. And he comes with a little story that was printed on blue paper and stapled by somebody who used tools like a stapler for the first time in their life, apparently. But it must have been the same person who painted “the chief”, because there is some red paint on “the cover”. I will not give away the story of the chief here. If you would like to read more about him, you will have to buy him. I know he is expensive, but he basically costs as much as 4 Starbucks Coffees and he is here to stay. I know that chief will survive me.
It is a good toy. He is dangerous, but really cool. Created by Sarah Trott, Devin Vagt and Phil Green. Great job, guys.

Cool "toy" Witold, I just checked out their site! Did you have any trouble whipping out your knive on the train? Ya never know these days!

Everybody remained calm. They knew that I was not about to do anything mean, I think. I am one of the more peaceful looking guys. (But I always have a swiss army knife on me.)
Speak softly, but carry a big stick, as we used to say.... back in the day...

Hello again Witold, I replied to your email this morning, but it bounced back to me, everything stable out there at your host?? (maybe it's my ISP?)

pat

yeah! I made that little guy! I'm glad you like him. We're talking about making some more sarah-characters in the near future. It's a lot of work though so we may take a break and just make comics.
