Look what arrived in my inbox this morning courtesy of Mr Alex Avelino… the latest production photos of my toy ‘Shirley Creamhorn & Shithawk!’

Now for those of you who dont know anything about Shirley, shes a side-project toy that’s been in development for some years with the very talented Mr Avelino. Were working together under the guise of ‘Big Spoon Toys’ with Shirley being limited numbers hand-painted figure, so very much an ‘indie’ toy.

‘Shirley Creamhorn’ was actually an alter-ego name given to me by an old friend from Leicester many moons ago! When Alex first got in touch about working together, I wanted to do something very different to Droplets and thought it’d be fun to see how Shirley Creamhorn could come to life, so I brought her to life along with a companion named Shithawk (named after mine & jonnys favourite insult)

I even started writing silly backstories and sending them to the toysrevil blog along with photos of early sculpts, I didn’t mention my name or JamFactory, I wrote everything from the viewpoint of Shirley herself. commissioning a statue for herself!

So, thats a whistle-stop review of Shirley’s humble beginnings! Hopefully she’s be available through my store and a few other places in the coming months!
