Following quite the fever pitch, Red Hot Robot opened its doors for the Resin Collective, and the red dots started flying. Store owner Jason Kiningham was way ahead of the curve curating this show, which featured standout work from today and tomorrow's hottest resin designers. Even a local Phoenix rag covered the show, re-interpreting Jason's "lowbro" lingo as "way cooler than that boring museum crap" in their article, Anti-Toy Story. Those familiar red (sold) dots were quickly adhered to Cris Rose's Rotund's Romp, Cris and Okkle's Happy Joy Bot, Le Merde's Vanfar, Hello, Brute's Danny, Makkinoso's Evil Spike, WeKillYou's William Palerne and pretty much all pieces by Arbito and 2Petalrose. The dotting continued into the night, as fans circled around the display and marveled at the diversity of the medium.

Robbie Busch has been finessing his art formula since many Kidrobot devotees were drinking formula (particularly true for kids born in the late 70s when formula briefly reigned over milk). His colorful career spans comics (more Sandman than superher0), film, animation, music, photography and writing. Robbie, aka McBoing Boing, has clocked decades as part of the urban art scene, so who better to wax poetic on cultural changes as we teeter on the precipice of a new year? ToyCyte chatted up the New Yorker about life, art and his first original resin toy. You can check out paintings and pieces from Robbie's recent show at Rotofugi here, including prototypes of his El Diablo figure. The first wave of El Diablos available for purchase hit the Argonauts Resin store at 12PM PST/3PM EST today.

A couple years back, McBoing Boing came to San Francisco’s Kidrobot to do a giant El Diablo Dunny customization and show. He’s also put his mark on some Circus Punks and Buds (below). To my knowledge, this [...]
