The Figure That Never Was: Tequila Carai Edition
Here's a rare goodie for you guys. Way back when we had just released Tequila (December 2005)...our manufacturer mentioned that some Japanese retailers expressed interest in an exclusive version of Tequila Extra Spicy.A prototype was made with a slight tweak to the colors used in Tequila Extra Spicy for this our Tequila Carai Edition. Unfortunately we couldn't find the appropriate exclusive deal and so Carai Edition was never produced...it's a shame too because the prototype developed of the figure (the ONLY Carai figure in existence) was a beauty.I was also bummed because I came up with such an AWESOME name for the figure. Carai translates to "spicy" in Japanese...but it's also a polite curse in Spanish. Very similar to how "darn" is the polite version of "damn"..."carai" is a polite version of the Spanish curse word "carajo".Man, I'm good! :-)One of these days I think we're going to revisit and produce this beautiful design...

I would totally buy a Carai Tequila. The paint application used on Carai & Extra Spicy really compliments the figure nicely. I know I've said it before, but it'd be great to see something comparable on the other Muttpop figures someday. Thanks for the peek!

luvyatoo:Thanks. I also love the Extra Spicy/Carai design. We really want to bring back figures for an Extra Spicy collection. It's a shame we haven't come up with the right approach sooner.We recently did some tests for an Extra Spicy Molly which I think would turn out nicely...hopefully they will end up part of the final production of Molly.the7000club:Thanks!gnarfdeath:We're working on that...-MPB
