A few months ago we showed you Lou Pimentel‘s new Siamese Cherries that he is producing in resin and now we have word of the second colorway, a black cherry! Set to be released on Black Friday, the black cherry features extra detailing on his face in a black and grey colorway. The black cherries are quite limited at 12 pieces and will be available starting this Friday, November 25th (Black Friday for those not in the know) for $65 with $7 shipping within the U.S. and $10 for international shipping and will be online at Lou’s webstore.
Also, now available are the original red cherries, which are an open run and are going for $50 with the same shipping prices. For those wondering about the delay in the production, these have also been re-designed from the ground up via 3D sculpting by Chris Raab so as to make the stems of the cherries much more secure. Don’t fret though as each piece is still produced via hand by Lou himself and painted with oil pants by him as well for a great affordable piece of art.

Up until August of 2009, I had bought only small blind-boxed figures and a few larger vinyl pieces that were from pretty large runs.

Cranston marked my descent into serious collecting, and as such he’ll always have a very special place in my collection.</p> <p>Lou has put out several colorways of Cranston, but other than that he has yet to put out any other figures. Finally, two years later, Lou has a new design for us! He’s been teasing his Siamese Cherries for a few days <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/LouPimentel" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://twitter.com']);" target="_blank">on Twitter</a>, and you can see the in-progress shots in the gallery. But now we get to see the painted version in all its glory! These 3″ resin figures are hand-made by Lou, from the mixing of the resin to the gorgeous oil paints. They will cost $50 a pop, and it seems like there will be several colorways, with the original red colorway being an open run. Release information should be available soon via Lou himself!</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: Lou has now opened a list for purchasing these on <a href="http://loupimentel.blogspot.com/2011/08/siamese-cherries.html" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://loupimentel.blogspot.com']);">his blog</a>, so head on over and sign up!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/LouCherriesHeader.jpg "Lou Pimentel’s Siamese Cherries")
