Tarnished Daydreams Feature: Rodney Aloysius Spencer by Doktor A

TOYSREVIL: Yet another "classic" Doktor A custom-creation! Are you comfortable with having your work labeled such? Are you comfortable with being charged with spearheading the steampunk movement in customization?

DOKTOR A: "Not sure it's a classic. But then I am not the one to judge. It's a pretty straightforward toy custom this one. Not a constructed character like Amnesia but a customised Squid Kid.

I am not sure I spearheaded anything steampunk wise. Its just a scene thats come to popularity whilst I have been working in that style. I dont really have much crossover with any other element of the subculture, if you want to label it such."


PRODUCT-DETAILS: "Rodney Aloysius Spencer" is a customized Squidkid toy by Squidkids Inc. standing 8" tall. Made from Polyurethane Resin , Lead, ABS, Paper, Brass, Rubber, Wood, Polymer Clay, and Found Objects - Rodney Aloysius Spencer is listed as SOLD OUT.

WHO: Owner of one of the larger department stores in Retropolis, Rodney worked his way up from the lowly position of junior manikin duster. He is an outstanding shop keeper with an eye for a good deal and a nose for a new trend. He was the first to offer self polishing cravats for sale and made a small fortune from peppermint scented lubricants.
