Although the basics of Muttpop’s Tequila toy were in place, there were a few things that Monster5 began to tweak.
First off, Monster5 slightly altered the shape of Tequila’s head. The original sculpt for Tequila’s head was a bit too square. It made Tequila’s mask look more like a Roman Gladiator and less like a Mexican Wrestler. To fix this, Monster5 began the curve of Tequila’s skull lower on his head.
Second, the original lines on the back of Tequila’s mask were too curvaceous. Monster5 straightened the curves on the back of Tequila’s mask to stay consistent with the strong straight lines on the front of his face.
Monster5 also adjusted Tequila’s head so that it rests lower on his neck and shoulders.
The photos also clearly show the increase in detail and clarity that Monster5 brought to this latest sculpt of the Tequila figure.
Here are Before and After photos of Monster5’s initial tweaks to the Tequila head and back (without poncho):
Seeing the before and after photos right next to each other, it is easy to see how Tequila is turing out to be quite the handsome toy. It also allowed toy collectors (like myself) to understand why and how the artist made certain decisions to the design process.
Check back next week for the latest pictures of the revised Tequila’s front!
it’s really awesome to see this progression, and the newest sculpts are freakin’ amazing! thanks for posting, and props to Monster5 for the sweet work.

This toy loks awesome, it can’t be released fast enough. Excellent work from everyone involved.
Que shulo esta quedando ! Congratulasiones.
MUTTPOP WILL MAKE MORE DIFERENT VINYL NO? WILL YOU SELL OUTSIDE THE USA?
Thanks for the support!
I’ve still got plenty of images to show you Vinyl Pulse regulars. There’ll be plenty of nice pics of the Tequila figure FRONT next week.
There’s also the poncho…you guys are going to LOVE the poncho!
Right now we intend to debut Tequila in two colors: Original and Extra Spicy. You’ll eventually get a sneak peak at both versions on Vinyl Pulse.
If there’s enough demand for it once the original limited run of Tequila sells out, we MAY do a limited run Glow In The Dark Tequila.
Any vendors (in the US and outside the US) that are interested in carrying Tequila can contact me directly at info@muttpop.com. Expect the Tequila figure to be in stores this December (2005).
We’re already planning our NEXT Lucha Libre figure.
This figure is awesome!! How is the box look like?
I like definitly to carry it in my store, please email me with more info!
Keep up the good work!
Wow, wow, WOW!!!
We’re working on the box at this very moment.
I think you’ll like the unique concept we’re using to design it.

Is the sculptor in America ? does he teach how to make figures ? I would love to attend an ANNEX to learn the skills to make toys like the man/ woman ? that is creating for your ? How much does it cost to hire the sculptor ?
Greatest regards,
