Jared Deal x Argonaut Resins Custom Vlad

This 5-inch resin Vlad figure will be fully revealed in just over a week and then available [...]

In fact, if you were physically near me yesterday, you likely got pulled over to my screen to see what I consider one of the most beautiful resin creations I’ve seen in a while. Having missed out on [...]

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 [...]

Friday, September 19, 2008
I just joined VinylToyFreaks (if you see my familiar mug/avatar, say hi) and within the first few threads, I already saw cool stuff like these figures designed, sculpted and cast by 13th Legion.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008
It was just in July that I posted about some new Uamou figures (which were new to me at the time) and wrote, “Keep an eye on this artist for coolness incarnate.” In a short time, Ayako Takagi really delivered. The cute travelling alien, Uamou and ghostly companion, Boo, are back in some sweet colorways: [...]

Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Eric from Argonauts Resin sent me this CellPhonesKill Statik edition #1/10. I particularly like when cutlery and ammunition are juxtaposed with something unexpected...like a cellular telephone. This was great fun to paint up.

Now fans of Hiroshi have the opportunity to own a tangible 3D piece with his latest creation: Piyora. The Piyora project began in much the same way as Hiroshi’s other characters–using [...]
