Doktor A’s MINDstyle Mechtorians Soon to Bring Steampunk to Storefronts
MINDstyle’s email referred to the Doktor A figure you see above as its “finest lineup of art toy collectible figures.” WOW, coming from MINDstyle, who, I feel, puts out some consistently quality art toys, that’s saying a lot. If this figure looks familiar, it’s because ten resin paint masters (below) of these guys were released [...]

Speaking of customized toys, check out CustomCon 21 over at Joe Acevedo’s site. While the ever-expanding collecting of Justice League Unlimited-based figures is omnipresent, it’s absolutely worth noting that amazing customizer Sillof [tagged] has debuted his ‘Return of the Jedi’ steampunk set of toys, which includes the sexiest Slave Leia I’ve ever had the uncomfortable [...]

Tuesday, July 15, 2008
In the vast amount of time I spend trolling the Interweb for cool toys, I see a lot of Star Wars customs and (lately) a lot of steampunk. A lot of it is…eh. Not the case here. Not even close. Sillof ["Si" (like Psi or Sci-fi ) and "llof" (like cough or pilaf)] has merged [...]

I heart reader submissions. Although I like to think of myself as somewhat of a trendspotter, it’s a big world. Plus, I get to meet someone new. So thanks, Ted, for putting Steam Crow and KlawBerry on my radar. Here’s what I’ve learned so far from perusing the Steam Crow website and the KlawBerry [...]

Rich Muller creates robots who tug at your heart (and purse strings) whether you are into kawaii or steampunk. Each Guy Robot is made up of a careful combination of salvaged industrial refuse, including: aerospace and avionics surplus suppliers, automotive salvage yards, long-haul microwave equipment recyclers, decommissioned plumbing and refrigeration remnants, vintage hand-tool [...]

Monday, May 12, 2008
Raised by the military and monitored by men in white coats until he was 16, Doktor A has always scribbled monsters. “You will never make a living drawing little men” said a teacher once. They were nearly right. Dr.A has to draw, design and build little men to make a living. These dubious skills have seen him [...]

Monday, May 5, 2008
I’m back from The Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA with lots to tell. There was all manner of science and magic and craft and technology. There were wacky people and zany happenings and a turnout that filled at least 3 parking structures (which meant that steampunk girls had to temporarily close their parasols and [...]

3D Batman LEGO Zoetrope As I come to the conclusion of my first can of Hello Boss French Roast Coffee (containing “coffeine!”) from the local Asian grocery store, I break from plushies and softies to bring you some coverage of all things hard, shiny, flashy and kinetic. I’m starting with an exhibit that could draw any fanboy [...]

Saturday, April 19, 2008
Doktor A is an artist’s artist. Known as one of the industry’s best customizers, he sculpts, hand-casts (in resin) and paints all his figures. The detailed results speak for themselves. Doktor A and MINDstyle just released 10 resin paint masters of the Mr. Head figure from the Mechtorians Series I. These exclusive Mr. [...]
