Toy OTD: Electric Tiki Betty Boop Figurine

Electric Tiki is wonderful at making maquettes of pop culture icons, but this one is exceptional! It's a great sculpt - tightly on-model but very appealing and in character.

The paint work - especially around the eyes, traditionally a problem area for toymakers - is superb! The base is on-theme, and has no visible labeling on it to identify the character (a touch I love). It's not all that big (just 5" tall), so it won't gobble up much shelf space.

Several versions were made - full-color paint jobs with red, black, and plum dresses; and (pictured) a monochrome variant. They both look sweet, but after seeing Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, I knew I had to get the black & white one!
