A Second Chance At Soopa Maria Sato
As a total sucka for anything even remotely related to the all-consuming video games of my youth, I was a bit jealous that I’d never have the chance to grab on of Erick Scarecrow’s limited-to-25, Soopa Maria Sato figures - obtainable only if you got a coin with a magic number on it, were willing [...]

Wednesday, December 31, 2008
Mr. Erick Scarecrow seems to have some new bit of awesome fallin’ off of him every week - and this week’s Muraida print and super-limited Chelly Chainsaw colorway are no exception. January 2nd, 2009, Scarecrow’s ‘Muraida Attack’ Giclée (which is French for ’snooty inkjet’) will drop at his eBay shop, at a cost of $65. The [...]

Wednesday, December 10, 2008
The other day I did a post of Erick Scarecrow’s Soopa Maria Sata available to only those who happened to hold special gold coin. If you weren’t one of the super lucky who had a winning number, sorry! But here’s some good news. You may have the chance to get your hands on a Soopa [...]

Give a big hello to Erick Scarecrow’s new Soopa Maria Sata figure from ESC.

Here’s just a sampling of some of the exclusives from the VTN Winter 08 show. (Click here for a tidy tagged version of all the coverage.) People who had been waiting in line for hours got right to business locating these particular figures. It seemed to me like much of the crowd got in, got [...]

Saturday, December 6, 2008
No self-respecting vinyl toy convention can go on without a custom show, and VTN didn’t disappoint with a selection of 15-inch interpretations of its mascot, Vinnie. For such a giant and rotund original, the asking prices–even during the economic recession that was on everyone’s mind during the event–were pretty great. Really nice cartoony work that [...]

In a few weeks, the world will have one more anthropomorphic spraypaint can, and it shall be called Muraida. Coming from the prolific toy wizards over at Erick Scarecrow’s Esc-Toy Ltd., the kaiju-lookin’ Muraida destroys your city with an uncontrollable green ooze, gigantic claws, and an unhealthy dose of CFCs. Which of these three is [...]

Friday, November 7, 2008
Erick Scarecrow likes to tease us. Yesterday, Erick sent us an email with just the attachment above. I wrote him back, begging, nay pleading, with him for more juicy details. What? When? How? Why? His reply: “I can’t reveal much now other than it’s going to be a steal!” Well, so far, in these [...]

Tuesday, November 4, 2008
It looks like one of the October Toysters enjoys a wee bit of the old customizing on the side. Erick Scarecrow sent us an email with some photos of a stunning custom that George Gaspar of October Toys did of Erick’s ESC Toys Kissaki. October Toys is a “purveyor of fine toys and collectibles with [...]

Just like the daily polls, I am avidly watching the Barack Obama customs for the upcoming Art + Action: Custom Obama Action Figure Show that are trickling in from artists far and wide.

Monday, September 29, 2008
Beyond seeing toys on your television and being able to call out, "I have that," Toys Are Us is interesting on a number of levels. For instance, the interviews with Frank Kozik and Brian Flynn are particularly educational, from their perspectives on who gets "O.G." credit for the designer vinyl movement (hint: it's not Michael Lau) to some choice words for and against extended colorways.
