The Ron English Temper Tot is the designer toy emanation of English's most popular character. The Temper Tot has been seen in his painting and street art work too.
Standing at 8" tall, the Temper Tot toy is one-part infant, and one-part Incredible Hulk. The juxtaposition of infantile innocence and uncontrollable anger make this piece an alluring and thought-provoking artistic toy. The work makes one think about the potential of each child to use its power for good or for evil -- a struggle that the Incredible Hulk deals with throughout his comic book adventures. This incredible toy is a great addition to designer toy enthusiast's collections.
