Anyone see the Mark Gonzales Mo'Wax statue that finished on ebay last Sunday?
I didn't know that they were that sought after still, end price was £343 GBP! that has to be a record for one surely!

was it an original one, or one of the re-releases?

I saw this, it was a Mo'Wax original. I still want one, but not for that much, damn. They must be more sought after than I thought.

Yeah, it was an original one but without the box.
I think the previous sales I've seen over the years have been around the 150-220 GBP Mark.
I picked up mine from Alma road when Jo was getting rid of them, around 80 quid I think.
Given how much mo'wax stuff has dropped in price, I was a bit surprised to see it go for that much

There was a dude here in the states trying to sell an un-peeled promo sticker (that went on some of the boxes) for about $70usd. I wanted it as my box does not come with it, but I could not bring myself to pay that much. It was cool though, and rather large. He didn't even know about the MW connection, or the statue. He had jacked up the price just because it was the Gonz.

I bought this from Alma rd when they were being sold off, it's completely blank...I was a bit annoyed at the time but it is a lovely thing.

the blank ones were the reissues i think unless you managed to get one of the first releases before it was customised.

well, he made another version later on - non-mowax was for dpmhi i think in 2006. different figure, but similar. Think there were plain ones available but forget.

Ah yeah. They were all customized too, used a lot more colour. Plus they blew bubbles too! I thought you might have meant a proper Mo'Wax reissue.
Though Bison08's blank one is kinda boring, it's very rare.

I lost the box in a house move. It didn't have a sticker on so I guess not a great loss! I didn't even know there was a sticker till I stumbled across a blog on the statue. The guy has collated pretty much everything he could find on those statues, including photos and when they've surfaced on eBay etc BlogspotThere was a dude here in the states trying to sell an un-peeled promo sticker (that went on some of the boxes) for about $70usd.

It's been a few years since I set eyes on it. Next time the attic is open will get some photos. It's in the box with the gold sticker. Left it sealed for a few years but ended up opening carefully to check what had been done...maybe he used a white pen??
