To celebrate the Chinese New Year, we decided to release a 100% American-made resin figure of an American dog breed, because that makes perfect sense!

This is a limited-edition weathered golden variant of our Tenacious Toys shop mascot Danger. Many important sculptures in China are gold in color, as gold is considered to be very beautiful. And I'm sure there's a bit of "gold attracts gold" theory in there as well. This is the second New Year Earth Dog release, with the first being red. This figure was finished in a weathered gold color and bagged with a festive and totally on-brand header card fashioned after the lucky red envelopes handed out this time of year.

If none of that is familiar to you, consider yourself schooled! Sort of.

Molding, casting, finishing and painting services for these figures provided by Brian Ahlbeck of Dead Hand Toys.
