Continue reading...All Hail the Fetal Alien Queen
19. November 2008
Not too many things are scary in their most pupa-like fetal forms, but Sideshow Toy’s Fetal Queen Maquette is definitely a junior creep of the highest caliber. Maybe it’s the giant teeth and ever-eyeless face, or the sleek grey skin, or the functionless arms, or maybe it’s the eerie resemblance to a human baby - [...]

14. November 2008
Forget vinyl. Forget plastic. Forget plush. Join Munktiki as he takes figures to the realm of the old, the ancient, the honorable art of ceramics. Munktiki aka Miles Nielsen makes some fancy schmancy super fine Tiki Mugs that are done in an artisan limited edition series. Nielsen recently spent some time in Japan doing an artist [...]
Continue reading...You Got Alien in my Predator
14. November 2008
I don’t really want to think about the organs, motions and fleshy rendings that had to take place in order to create the PredAlien, but there’s no doubt that Sideshow Collectibles had to ponder every gory detail in making their own. I’ve never been completely sold on the whole Alien and Predator thing, but I’m [...]

13. November 2008
Here’s a find Jason slipped my way this week. Check out these crazy-detailed, hand-made, hand-painted art toys by Italy’s OniBaka. OniBaka is the artist behind the sarcastically apolitical resin figure Adolphy. These four new figures were made for the Original Toyz exhibit beginning today and running through December 12th at the Arte 2 Gallery. If [...]

11. November 2008
America recently got an injection of much-needed hope with the promise to put more focus on “main street” versus Wall Street in the near future. Although there was some shock as a nation to hear that amidst the billions of dollars in bailout, insurance executives were dealing with the country’s woes by getting spa treatments, [...]

10. November 2008
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yeah, and since we haven’t yet gotten over the hump that is Turkey Day, some of us may need a little inspiration to get those jolly old holiday juices flowing. This Luna Night, Saturday, November 15th, Charles’ Creature Cabinet has alerted the world that “the door to the [...]

5. November 2008
Cris Rose dropped a small sneak peek at the next edition of his graceful, amazing Runcible robot figure over on his blog, and it’s already stolen my heart. Forget everything you know about the blocky, awkward (but still charming) robofolks that generally populate the designer toy world - Rose merges delicate natural forms with a [...]
Continue reading...Next Wave of Runcible Custom Robots by Cris Rose
27. October 2008
Last month, I was really entranced by the poetic resin robot known as Runcible Edition A by Cris Rose. While pursuing a peek at the follow-up bot, Rotund, on Cris’ Flickr, I stumbled upon these beautiful one-off editions of Runcible. Each figure is a custom with a story and unique head contents from peace lily [...]

24. October 2008
It happens, people bite off more than they can chew. I do almost daily! The creator of the We Kill You figures, the ambitious handmade series, announced today that he won’t be able to do an entire Halloween set that was to be for sale at the end of the month. Here is his statement [...]

20. October 2008
Luke Chueh’s Shithead metal-cast figure by FullyVisual goes on sale tomorrow, Tuesday, October 21st at 11AM PST for $130 here. In spite (or perhaps because?) of this piece being a severed monkey’s head crowned with a pile of feces, there is a lot of interest in the figure. As with other FullyVisual releases, this is [...]
Continue reading...Sexy Space Vixens of Galaxy Vega
16. October 2008
I’m a sucker for both the mysteries of women and the mysteries outer space, so when Product Enterprise combined the two for their potential Space Vixens of Galaxy Vega 1/6th scale action figure line, I was in some kind of geek nirvana. Well, like the recently mentioned Doctor Who figure, the Space Vixens action [...]
Continue reading...Medusa’s Gaze Statue by Luis Royo and Yamato
13. October 2008
In Luis Royo’s world, women don’t need clothes to fight fierce battles, and everywhere, all of the time, something is on fire just off canvas, bathing everything in an eerie smoke. When you connect all of the dots, it’s probably a gargantuan pile of smoldering, disused clothing anyhow. Who needs ‘business casual’ when you [...]
Continue reading...Kaws is Busting Out for $25K
7. October 2008
Is bronze the new vinyl? Highly unlikely, but one thing that the folks who like to spend their free time arguing Kaws vs. Kozik on the KR forums can agree upon is that busts are the new platform. First came Kozik’s dictators and Ludwig Van. Now, The Art Collectors reports that Kaws is, ahem, busting [...]

6. October 2008
Something must be in the air (a sniff of the recession perhaps or just the fall sale season). There is another super sale, this time for those action figure lovers out there. Amazing Toyz is creating a new website and they are having , I guess you could call it, a virtual moving sale. They [...]
Continue reading...Runcible Edition A Resin Robot by Cris Rose
29. September 2008
Weekends are good for lots of things like sleeping in, eating brunch and seeing daylight. Weekend toy drops, however, can be a double-edged sword. For instance, witness this beautiful hand-cast, hand-painted resin robot, Runcible Edition A by UK artist Cris Rose. The edition of 5 sold out in 3 minutes on Sunday. That’s like [...]
Continue reading...FullyVisual Gama-Goon Artist Proofs
25. September 2008
Remember FullyVisual’s hand-crafted metal tribute to GAMA-Go’s Gama Goon? Well, the original limited production of 100 figures sold out, but FullyVisual has now made available 15 artist proofs. They are approximately 4″ x 2.5″ and one is a gold-plate chase! That’s pretty fantastic odds of getting the gold (1/15 rather than 1/100). Go for gold [...]

10. September 2008
Previous incarnations of the Deathbot have been in cotton, canvas and wood but now you’ll be no match for the power of this mighty creature! Deathbot is armored and ready to meet his match. Check out the magic that is the 30-inch tall, metal-plated Giant Armored Deathbot. This epic rendering (only five are being made) of [...]

27. August 2008
Next Friday would be a good time to do some thinking. And where would be the best place to get our cerebral? Why at the Focal Point Gallery in the Bronx (if New York State, baby). On Friday September 5th at 7pm, graffiti scribe SEEN will show off his upcoming limited edition figure “Thinker” at [...]

The same characters that are featured in Ryo Honda’s first picture book, Kabakuro First Story. Kabakuro is made of high-quality polystone material and is about 4″ tall. It [...]
