This is a very rare and expensive piece by popular artist Joe Ledbetter, the Lava Ringo Bear. Check out eBay and you’ll be seeing this figure being sold for $1000! This figure has been long sold-out and only 60 pieces were produced. It is highly sought after by collectors and is considered the Holy Grail of Ledbetter works. If you have this, fellow collectors will bow down before you.

Even if I’ve been collecting designer toys for over a year now, I still consider myself a newbie and has a lot of catching up to do. It’s hard to complete a line-up. Designer toy prices really increase fast! I guess I’ll just forget about getting the older pieces and focus on what’s being released now.
