Hello ,
Steven Cerio here….Welcome to happyhomeland.
If you’ve been tracking progress on my toys….thanks for your patience…the figures are ready!!

STEVEN CERIO, THE RESIDENTS and TOY TOKYO and are proud to present the release of “The Residents.””

I’d like to introduce you to “The Classic Eyeball” and “Mr. Skull.”

If you are a fan of THE RESIDENTS you are already familiar with the sinister antics of front man “Mr. Skull” and the blinkless stare of the “Classic Eyeball”…if you aren’t familiar with the group the cryptic box description reads as follows:

“Despite the apparent handicap of life in oblivion, The Residents have flourished for 35 years, releasing almost 60 albums while embarking on six major world tours. Credited with the invention of music video and performance art, they have also been honored with a prestigious career retrospective by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In a culture saturated with publicity seeking ciphers, the group has proudly maintained complete anonymity throughout its career, providing a faint beacon of hope for every crazy kid bewitched by the bogeyman of fame. They love and hate everything.”

SPECS:

FULL EDITION SIZE: 1350 (this number includes all 4 variations of both gigures)

FIGURE SIZE: Both figures are 7 ½ “ tall with a 4” diameter base.

BOX SIZE: 8 7/8 “tall, 5 1/8 “ wide and 5 1/8”

These are some samples of my original drawings I created for Three Zero(Hong Kong) to model the prototypes of both figures.

Here are some shots of the partly completed wax prototypes sent to myself, The Residents and Toy Tokyo for approval. I am still impressed with how close they got to my original specs.

This is a still of the figures as a group. (samples of the unpainted G.I. D. ‘s are not pictured.)

Here are some images of the boxed figures.

This is an image of the box graphics flattened for your viewing pleasure.
