TOYSREVIL Reviews: GUNDERBOI from Good Guys Never Win Toys
"GUNDERBOI" is created by Cipta Croft-Cusworth and produced by Indonesia headquartered Good Guys Never Win Toys (Instagram / Facebook). Released in 2017, I've had a chance to see them in person at the recent "TOY EXHIBIT (THIS IS NOT A TOY)" private exhibition (Some images featured at bottom of this post), and thanks to the generosity of Cipta, be able to sponsor prizes for my just concluded #TOYSREVIL14 giveaway contest!
Made with 100% recycled plastic, and finished in a variety of colors, GUNDERBOI is based on "Genderuwo" = "a Javanese myth about a genie or a human being resembling a large, muscular ape with black to red color, its body covered in thick hair that grows all over the body." (Wiki) - with this interpretation being "Gunderboi" being a half Gunderuwo half Boy, who is "the protector of the forest & friend to you & me!" ... and as it continues to say on the header-card: "Keep me on a window sill and give me a view. Occasionally feed me coins and I will bring you good fortune!"
As mentioned in my video review, there is no way to "open up" the figure to retrieve the coins, BUT I have plenty of 1-cent coins to feed him, to keep my Gunderboi head and standing steady! My piece stands pretty sturdy too, so no worries on this aspect LOL

As mentioned in my video review, I have been told that GUNDERBOI is not available online, but might be made available where Good Guys Never Win Toys exhibit and/or booth their wares, so keep an eye out!
