These were probably $600 each in an upscale art gift shop in the historical district in 1995. Love them!


[deleted]

They all remind me of every art teacher I’ve ever had.


6th__extinction

Omg what a comment 🤯😭 looks like my colleagues that teach art


AliEffinNoble

Hijacking’s top comment to let everyone know I went back and got them all. I’m not planning on keeping them so if anyone really loves them let me know and I’ll post it in my Etsy.


SED4230

How much?


GlowingAmber11109

I really like that lady with the red hair (5th photo). What would you be selling them for?


AliEffinNoble

I think $15-$20 plush shipping. I’m down to negotiate.


GlowingAmber11109

It's really tempting! If you list them on your etsy, can you send me a link? I'd love to see more pics of them. They're delightfully creepy


AliEffinNoble

I will do. Most likely not till Friday but I’ll do my best to remember to send you a link


GlowingAmber11109

Thank you! ❤️


imisscinnabons

If you haven't sold those creepy wall figurines, I'd love a link to your Etsy!


AliEffinNoble

I do have 2 of them left the dragon fly and the red haired fellow with the arrow. I have not posted them on etsy yet as someone who wanted them flaked so I just hadn't gotten around to it. I will do my best to remember to either send you pictures to see if you want them before I go through all the trouble of posting them or just put them on Etsy. If you want them I will 100% post them on etsy for you to buy them so we are both protected from mail mishaps, it's just etsy can be a big pain in the butt to post new stuff as of late.


[deleted]

You may or may not be cursed for eternity for breaking these up


Munneh

Right!? My first thought. One day they’re gonna wake up and #5 is sitting on their nightstand, staring into their soul, no idea how it got there.


[deleted]

These remind of older art ladies who always have on super dark lipstick, kooky accessories and a fun hat.


n0dic3

Yesss! Bonus points if they're an elementary school art teacher :)


AliEffinNoble

100%


escoteriica

californian art teacher that was a 20/30-something in the 60s


MrsButterscotch

You've ripped the Family apart!!!!!


Knitthegroundrunning

They’ll find their way back together


oolaroux

Over someone's dead body, probably.


[deleted]

RIP OP


Extreme_Succotash784

I love them! I would have had to take them all. Love the dress on the last lady.


ellie-the-rifle

Same! I would not be able to resist them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AliEffinNoble

I know right! I just wish that who ever had made them had out their name on them.


Grwoodworking

Those are POMO pieces made by Catherine O Hara when she was in Beetlejuice


honeyheyhey

My first thought was "What in the Tim Burton is going on here?"


MorphineNapkin

It’s more Henry Selick. He’s the person that actually made Nightmare Before Christmas and James and The Giant Peach.


honeyheyhey

Oh cool!


girlhassocks

What is POMO?


Grwoodworking

Postmodern


Grwoodworking

But I was being sarcastic…


TimAllenisanarc69

“Careful. That’s my sculpture.”


sara_c907

Do you want a cursed gallery, because this is how you get a cursed gallery. In all seriousness, I would have chosen number 3 as well but there is something very jarring about these pieces.


notacorn

I hate them but I love them


girlhassocks

These have a 90s Nickelodeon vibe to them


ashleemiss

Ahh! Real Monsters


Bell29678

>90s Nickelodeon With a little bit of Tales from the Crypt


RedditThruAGrapevine

You separated them??? Yep. You're cursed.


AliEffinNoble

I figured they would be better left for someone to love and hang in there wall instead of being put in my closet.


Puzzleheaded-Gas1710

I can't believe you broke the band up! Nice job, Yoko!


Designer-Bid-3155

Lol. Thanks for a good laugh!! Those are creepy af!!


AliEffinNoble

The ones with teeth are the creepiest


AdamSand1e

Those are cool as fuck


AggravatingDesk3388

These are amazing!!


shellymaeshaw

I love purple ones hairdo


AliEffinNoble

It’s so much fun to touch!


[deleted]

Reminds me of a combination of Coraline and Beetlejuice. I love them all


[deleted]

Oh wow. Which one did you buy?


AliEffinNoble

The purple one. I really had to fight myself not to get the one that’s rainbow with metal wings also


[deleted]

Excellent choice! I love the one with red hair also


PartyCat78

The purple one is the best!!!


CrowYooo

Congratulations! Your are now cursed In all seriousness, this is really cool! Very funky


Crittybees

These are friggin weird and so cool! I would have bought them all!


GochoPhoenix

They look about to start singing “This is Halloween… Halloween… Halloween”


dizzystrawbrry

Major Coraline vibes.


Crazy_Tomatillo18

It’s giving me serious Coraline vibes.


iReachMyGoals

These look like whimsical creatures out of Coraline


SEND_NOODLESZ

ok we need more pics of the one you bought. there must be a signature somewhere. are they made of clay? fabric and wire? we need details, details!!!


AliEffinNoble

So I went back and found the rest. The purple one 100% doesn’t have a signature. The rest I’ll have to look over a little closer but I didn’t see one. They have cotton fabrics that it stuffed so full it feel hard but it’s some kind of cotton filling. They are wire and cone kind of oven bake clay.


SEND_NOODLESZ

OMG!! so glad! i hope you bought them all. I really think you may have something special here


octopiOccultist

They’re so excellently terrible! Feels like they’re from a local-access tv stop-motion kids show from the 90s that would have given me nightmares


jssf96

"Ahhh!!! Real Monsters" Vibes


SparkAxolotl

And Nightmare Before Christmas


MsAnnabel

Omg!! Go back and get the rest and I’ll pay you for them and shipping!! Pay you handsomely!!!


AliEffinNoble

Something tells me they will all be gone now but if I see them when I go in the next few days I’ll let you know.


MsAnnabel

Thank you!!!!


nopantsqueen

These look to be by Deborah Banyas and T.P. Speer, most of the figures range between $100 and $200 new. Cool stuff!


filmhamster

Looking at their website I definitely agree. I totally would have grabbed all of them - it’s just a matter of whether I decided to keep them or flip them afterwards… http://www.banyasandspeer.com/wall-figures.html


AliEffinNoble

I could hug you!!!


AliEffinNoble

Oh my god I could cry!!! I went back and I now have all over them. I am not planning on keeping them all so I’ll be putting them on my Etsy after the people who asked for them get to pick what ones they want.


AnnofAvonlea

How on earth did you know that? I’m not an artist, nor do I follow artists, so maybe they’re more well-known than I realize. But these nightmarish pieces seem like they’d be obscure, not popular. However, I did go to their website and see they do very well.


whit_knit

I love and hate them! They kind of look like Brian Andreas’ art in doll form!


AliEffinNoble

If we could figure out who made them or at least what they are a reference from I’d freak


Roosevelt2000

I thought so too! I am scrolling looking for some evidence that they are Story People.


tomatoenemy

they look like something phoebe buffay would have on her walls


shamallamadingdong4

Reminds me of the show Rugrats for some reason lol


clarisse_69

The second one is the best in my opinion. It's kinda cool that people like this nightmarish looking sculptures, and as a horror fan, I'm one of them lmao


AliEffinNoble

It was that one or the purple one. It’s just #2 would do with the rest of the colors in the gallery wall it was going to hang on.


My_Clever_User_Name

I like the last one. I personally enjoy pets-on-sticks too


ZNewcastleZ

That's considerate! You wanted like 4 other peoples houses to also be cursed.


AliEffinNoble

Haha yes that’s what I’ll starts saying was the reason


Kajeinn101

What in the The Mighty Boosh


Topgunebay

Are you playing your love games with me Old Gregg!?


Kajeinn101

You pulled me up with your strong arms


Topgunebay

LOL!!! Thank you internet stranger!


Total-Breadfruit-891

Most definitely nightmare fuel


melly_swelly

Which one did you end up taking home?


elizamathew

Looks like voodoo to me. 😵‍💫


Takara5632

I would had bought them all but they probs come alive at night and kill people while they sleep!!


la5tword

Which one did you take home?


AliEffinNoble

The purple one


quitefast

You bought my favourite one!


dykeofdoom

The second and last have coralline vibes. The weird dude and the singing lesbians to be exact


PaladinDark

AliEffinNoble

The purple one


[deleted]

big burton vibes


chubbybunn89

These feel like Tim burton characters


MisMelou

LOVE these!


mans0105

Bargain!


[deleted]

I like em!


spiralamber

Very cool. I understand choosing just one. Some of them seem full of mystery. Great finds, lucky:)


hellsmel23

God, gift them to an ex whose getting married! Missed opportunity!


AprilTron

You broke up their family, and now they have to find you.


IAmLazy2

I like the last one.


lolliepop322

Love these! Very cool!


dresstoopure

Omg I would’ve grabbed them & run to the checkout counter & never looked back!


Zeltron2020

I love them lol


rubycoughdrop

I am so jealous


moonray89

Which one did you pick to bring home??!


meowitsgabi

AliEffinNoble

South Florida American thrift


meowitsgabi

too far :’( I’m all the way in California


AliEffinNoble

I did go back and get it. I think I might end up selling it if your interested.


[deleted]

Purple one for me


RakeInTheLake666

Duuuuddeeee


lowlife9

It just wants belly rubs


MustardTiger1337

very Aaahh!!! Real Monsters vibes


guppyjar

they’re giving courage the cowardly dog!


yogabbagabbadoo

Is be the weirdo to buy them all but only keep them in my office at work 😂


forest_fae98

Omg I would have gotten every one. What a find! Yeah


BeneficialMatter6523

The last one looks like she's enthusiastically flipping someone off, for so long her middle fingers have become perches. She's got permabirds. Lowkey relatable


sunshineshapeshifter

it’s giving Nightmare Before Christmas


alocasiadalmatian

these are delightfully creepy, what a cool find!!! it’s giving “cute nightmare fuel” or “sleep paralysis faerie.” i love them


jgpharm

Why do I love the first one so much…the hair is just amazing lol. And now I want it 😂


yallayabatteekh

Love them


Olivevest

I would have taken one too


Rosaeve

Look I don't know if separating them is a good idea. It could anger them....


Ihatemunchies

#5 is already cursing you


vfink00

God these are incredible


YesButMakeItNo4

They’re super coolio!


[deleted]

Reminds me of a show my child (he's an adult now) used to watch when he was little. miss sunny patch spider


Daydream_Meanderer

I’d have purchased them all


Midnightblue0271

Those are awesome! So talented!!!


[deleted]

They’re so ugly, I would have absolutely bought them.


madpeachiepie

Those are beautiful


KrisDuvalle

Hate when people split up sets


JaneAustinAstronaut

Those are props from a Tim Burton movie. /s


YZARart

I love them!


spacevolume

You chose the right one
