Coarse Toys "Paw! Raw" DIY figure release

During SDCC 2010, I had a really nice chat with Mark Landwehr of Coarse Toys... where one of the things I asked him about was how he felt about people using his art pieces and doing customs on them... now I don't remember verbatim what he said but it was along the lines of he didn't like when people did that to his pieces. Fast forward a year, and now Coarse has just announced their very first DIY figure... and it's a familiar one that. Titled "Paw!Raw", Coarse is on a mission to protect and or salvage released editions, and the 12'' Paw! figure is their first offering! This comes painted in untouched white and is on sale HERE now for a limited time only. There is no limit on how many you can order, but at $165 a piece... I can see people snagging up 2-3 of these at a time! This really makes me ask the question now... what else will these guys release in the "Raw" form... I guess that all depends on the sales :-)
