GODBEAST x RAMPAGE Wondercon Release

Big news for the upcoming Wondercon on April 1-3 in San Francisco - I'll be releasing some AWESOME new figures! This will be a 2 figure set - Sculpt/Mash-up by me and the release run of 15 sets all cast by Marty Hansen, better know as TGB - The GODBEAST Customs. Marty does some amazing work with Crystal Clear resin, and he deffinitely nailed it with these figures! They'll come bagged with a header card (I'll have the original header art for sale at Wondercon as well) - Clears will go for $35 a set and GID for $40 a set. Heres pics (I'm in Europe at the moment - some new pics when I get back!):

And, some logistics info - I'll be at booth Number 1239 with 'Imps and Monsters' - which is near exit number 13 on the Folsom Side of the Convention Hall. I'll have bundles of stuff, so come on by and say 'hi.'

Emerald City Comic Con!!!!

On Saturday March 5th (THIS coming Saturday) I'll be at Emeral City Comic Con, hanging with my Friend Just Hillgrove (Imps and Monsters) and showing (and selling) some resin toys and prints! I've been frantically working to cast up a number of items for this event as well as Wondercon because I'll be off to Europe for a bit in March, and Wondercon is the same week I return! Yikes!

I have some super fun new releases to share, and I'll have a few of these pieces at ECCC as 'pre-release' (read: early bird locals) specials! Here are some photos:

HOLY PILES OF RESIN BATMAN!!!! Lots of casting go on around here. New stuff, old stuff - I've blown through 3 molds this week alone!

Custom SEISMIC ACE and ACE M.U.S.C.L.E. Helpers!!! The little helpers are 2 casts from the mold I made for Mattyboombatty of Smash Tokyo Toys. He'll have more of these at SDCC this summer.

New Cupcake GLYOS head sculpt! With the blessing of Matt Doughty (Onell Designs), I'll be casting up a bundle of these glyos heads - only a few at ECCC!

Some Handpaint Kaiju and Japanese Vinyl action! Here's a custom Mini Crouching Deathra - I love this toy!

And last but not least - Here's header art for something SUPER exciting! I'll be releasing a sure to be AMAZING run of resin toys - sets of two. These are a collaboration with my friend TGB (The Godbeast Customs), who is a MASTER with crystal clear resin casting. This release run will be limited to 15 sets of figures, bagged and carded. I'll also have the original header art for sale ;-)

Hope to see you all at one or boith of the upcoming cons! Should be a blast!

New Shop Madness!

I've been casting a bundle of resin, and finally taking the time to do some painting, which was sorely missed durring the shop and web-update phase from the past weeks.... I've got some old and some new items available. So, without further adoo (umm, adieu? Add-oo? I duh-no...), here are some pictures! All items available HERE.

Back in Action!

Hello Hello!

After a hiatus (much needed and much enjoyed) from work and 'normal life' in general, it's back to work in the Studio for RAMPAGE TOYS. There are exciting things afoot - new custom toys, new resin figures (being molded as this is being written!) and plpenty of artwork, and, finally, all of this will be readily available in the BRAND NEW on-line shop! I've invested some serious time in getting some stuff pulled together for the RAMPAGE TOYS BigCartel Site, and I'll be launching the shop in full-swing this coming FRIDAY - February 4th 2011.

Along with the myriad of toys and artwork that have been left sitting in boxes about the studio and around my apartment, there will also be a SUPER AWESOME exclusive blind-box series available on Friday - Cake Caps!!! I've Married Kidrobot's vinyl Fatcaps with some Resin Love, and came up with these little guys.

Each 3 inich figure (Montana Gold Spray Paint and Resin on Vinyl) will come blind boxed in hand painted (stenciled) packaging. Aside from the two (or 3 ;-) unique versions (ummm... "chase" I suppose) one will even come with some sweet mini-artwork!!!! And priced at 25 dollars each, you won't have to break the bank to get your hands on some handmade sweetness!!! Up on Friday! get Some!

And, now that we've handled the business side of things - here are some more recent works. More resin coming soon!

Cake-Dunny! Sent to Mr. ViseONE himself as part of the Custom Toy Union's secret Santa Trade. I might have to make one or two more of these guys - Montana Gold and Super Sculpey in Vinyl.

This little guy ("Jersey Devil in a pouty Mood") was my contribution to the GENUINE ARTIKLE (NYC) "Almighty Dunny Show" in December. He's up for sale in the Genuine Artikle Webstore.

Here's the next thang! I was invited to do a custom on the BRAND NEW Mini Qee Platform for the RELEASE at Yoyamart on February 14th - sweet! Above is the event poster and below is a sneak peak of the piece I made - Check out this show if you're in NYC - it should be AWESOME!

The 'Merry Christmas' Post!

Hey Toy Peoples!

A lot has happened since my last post, and it's mostly been GREAT! First was a little show/sale near Seattle - sold some new stuff. Then Urban Craft Uprising at the Seattle Center! What an awesome time that was! A whole bundle of RAMPAGE TOYS and Artwork went away to new homes :-) The booth was a 5x10, so things were packed in there - it was a tight fit:

Above are some new Full sized Kapuke-ki Kaiju and the new MINI KAPUKE-KI Kaiju figures!!!! All of the above figures found new homes at or after Urban Craft! Thanks to anyone who picked one (or more) up!

And then - the next weekend - My lady and I headed down to Portland for the Crafty Wonderland Holiday Mega Extravaganza! There were a gazillion vendors at this thing - maybe the reason why the shoppers weren't going nuts. I ran into Bwana Spoons, Hungry Eyeball, Jon Knox and Monstre Hero while down in Portland - AWESOME to meet those guys! Bwana took some of my resin for his shop (Grass Hut in downtown Portland), and I picked up some Jon Knox resin to paint up (in February).

Here's the RAMPAGE booth:


Now I'm on the East coast... away from my studio and all of my stuff... I might cry a bit...

Anyway, if you're looking to get your hands on some new Mini-Cake Cupcake Kaiju - e-mail me, and I'll get a list started for when I return in January - rampage.toys@yahoo.com. And, as always - lots of pics on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27483582@N00/

There is a ton in the works for February - resin releases, some collaborations and customs galore!

Merry Christmas to all! May it find you surrounded with toys and other such great art-stuff!

NYCC and Other Great Stuff

YES! Time for new toys!

I recently attended the 2010 New York Comic Con - where the Kapukeki Kaiju was revealed to the public! I didn't sell much... but that's financial info, and not interesting reading material, right?...

Anyway, The Con was AMAZING! There were A LOT of big name toy artists to schmooze with and plenty of toy fans to hang out with as well. I carted around a blank Kapukeeki to show to artists and gauge interest in getting some pro-customs done. Feedback was general super-positive and I'm looking forwar to pursuing these interests in the very near future!

Enough gab though - Here are some pics of the event:


The RAMPAGE TOYS Shelf at the TENACIOUS TOYS booth!!! Thanks to Benny (purveyor of AWESOME via the Tenacious Toys website) for hosting my first 'big' release fig, and for being just all around AWESOME!

My Favorite place to hang (besides the Tenacious Toys booth!) at the Con! The O'Nell Designs booth had THE BEST toys at the Con! These resin masters were not only fully stockes with amazing toys, but also happened to be the coolest, most friendly artists anywhere! Shout out to Marty (TGB), Paul (Kaiju), Jesse Destasio and Matt - AWESOME!!!

So, NYCC aside, things are rolling along in the RAMPAGE studio. I'm wokring on some acrylic paintings and LOTS of toys for the upcoming "Art of Toys" show at Tasty Art Gallery in Seattle
. I'm also pouring resin and offering blank figures and painted figures via the RAMPAGE BigCartel site and soon via the Custom Toy Union's Webstore! I'm also working on some new ultra-mini resin figures (quasi bootleg - but in a good way :-), and I'll be posting about custom resin and vinyl in the very near future! I digress: here are some photos:

Blank Kapukeeki Kaiju resin figs! Any artists want one?

Halloween edition of the Kapukeeki Kaiju Resin Toy! Only 5 will be made - maybe less! They will be made to order. Available here.

Remember these toys from the 80's???? 'Muscle Men' - I think they were called. Well, here's one converted into a Kapukeeki-Lucha toy! All 1.5 inches of AWESOME! Not sure when I'll mold/cast these, but it will happen!


Thanks for checking in! If you want any toys or paintings or anything like that, just e-mail me! I'm psyched on comissions right now, so ask away!
