[Groop] Artist Proof Groo cheese dip Statues whats the deaL?

[nicholas doyle]

even if it doesn't, it's still an actual item.  sergio may have done the original sculpture, but he didn't actually manufacture each one - artists' proofs are done in advance for review by the artists and producers (for lack of a better term) to make sure everything is up to specifications.  once everything is signed off on, i would assume the manufacturers are free to do with them what they will.  has there been an outbreak of counterfeit cheese dip statues that i'm not aware of?

Maybe.  But I'm still suspicious.  Where did it 
come from?  And does it in fact say "artist proof' on the 
bottom?

here's the wikipedia entry on "artists proof":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist's_proof
as 
  far as i know, they artists proofs *are* legit; they are done in advance of 
  the rest of ltd runs - i actually have an artists' proof of the first alex 
  ross wb store plate, done about 10 years ago; i ordered one from a wb store, 
  and they were unable to get one, because it had just sold out.  however, 
  the store *was* able to get me an artists' proof - it is identical in every 
  way, except where it says "number ___ of ____", it has the words "artist 
  proof", instead of a number.
i would say this item is on the 
  up-and-up.

    My knee jerk reaction is that it's a load of 
    crap.
     
    Sergio did the scuplture.  It's hard to 
    believe he would have left an 'artists' proof" out there.  

     
    The certificate is no big deal.  It is 
    equally easy to lose it as it is to make one.  
     
    But the underside of each statue is 
    numbered and has a Groo logo.  I would be really curious to see the 
    stue and especially what the underside looks like.  
     
    I take it this is not on ebay?

      Hi Guys,
       
      I am looking to buy a CHEESE DIP statue, but they 
      mention it is an “Artist proof” edition, this edition has no 
      certificate.
      Does anyone have any info about “Artist proof” 
      Cheese dip statues? Are they worth buying? 
       
       
      Kind Regards,
      Jason 
      Smith
