MANOTAUR update

Here it is! A little more info on the MANOTAUR from Imps and Monster and RAMPAGE TOYS. Actual - this is quite a bit of info, and SUUUUPER exciting! Can't wait for March - for sooooo man reasons (just check out the Events list to the right!). Anyway - MAN-O-TAAAAAAAUUUURRRRR!!!!! Here's the Wax.



This is 8 inches of full-sized sofubi monster action! He's at the factory having a little run-in with some copper electroplating machinery :-P

Release is slated for Emerald City Comic-Con - March 29th in Seattle - we thinks... Fingers crossed for smooth sailing, and maybe even a few RAMPAGE handpaints to accompany the initial release of blanks.

Waniphants!

"What's a Whaniphant?" you say? Well - only a most-excellent sofubi toy! Only the kick-ass brain child of Shane Haddy (Hints and Spices) from Australia!

:-P

Anyway, this Friday (Friday Evening EST) will see the release of a little micro-run Waniphant collab. RAMPAGE x Hints and Spices on glitter vinyl! I painted five of these crazy creatures with a bundle of clear sprays and a hint of brush work here and there. These serve as a little 'teaser' for something Shane and I have in the works, which will be revealed just a little before the next Superfestival near the end of April.

Here's pics of this Friday's new-ness!





Of course, don't forget about the RAINBOW GID Ugly Unicorns and Blank GID Ugly Unicorns that are up for pre-order until this Friday! Don't miss out on your only chance to grab a blank GID Unicorn (I hate to see people cry,... ya know?).

Second Post on Double Post Day!

This is breaking news stuff, so I think it deserves its own post :-P

NEW TOYS are coming this Friday in zee shoppe!!! I'll be finally be releasing a new run of Uncorns for web consumption, and then I also have a nice little micro-run collab that will join the party.

First, the Unicorns: "Dark Side of the Ugly" Rainbow GID!





This painted version will be released this Friday on a pre-order basis - along with blank GID unicorns. The painteds are limited to 1 per person and the run is limited to a max of 20 painted figures. Blanks are wide open, and everyone is welcome to order as many as they like :-) Hopefully this will result in a number of people grabbing one (or more) to paint! Let's see those handpaints!

Painted and blanks will go up for sale Friday night (here in Japan) - so they should be there in the shop when people are getting up on Friday morning in the States. The pre-order stays up for one week - until 2/10.

Second up (but no less fun!) - a little collaboration with my friend Aya from Refreshment Toys! When I was in Osaka a few weeks ago, Aya gave me 10 of he mini-cuppy figures. I painted them, sent half to her, and half (5) will be in the shop this friday

A whole BUNDLE of spray, stencil and gouache on these oh-so-cute little cupcake dudes!



That'll do for now! Next week: Waniphants!!!

KIDS! CADAVERS! WAAAAHH!!!

OK, double post day - starting with the actual full reveal of the Cadaver kids that were released and promptly snatced up) last Friday! Thanks to all those who tried - I think it's now safe to say: "you might be trying again later this spring" ;-)

Anyway - "Guardian Daemon Kids"



And the custom "Barcode Kid" (Gouache handpaint)



Splurrt is now working on his own run of Ugly Unicorns - which I'm SUPER PSYCHED about! They should be ready to go soon, and I'll get that posted here when they are.
