Coarse Toys has decided that because people have enjoyed customizing their Paw! figure (and there are some amazing ones out there) that they needed to bite the bullet and make a blank one. Available in their webstore now, this blank figure is aimed at stopping artists from painting over their special releases and thus limiting the amount that are available to collectors. It's a double edged sword because on the one hand, the less there are available means that the remaining products will increase in value. The flip side of that is that there are fewer of them for collectors to buy up on the secondary market because their original design is compromised. Well, for $165 toy artists can now paint without the guilt of possibly ruining a limited edition.
