Tenacious Toys Marshall Blind Box Custom Series

by
We are proud to announce a little project that we've been working on for many months now: a blind-box custom series based on the Marshall platform. The Marshall figures were originally designed by 64Colors and produced by Rotofugi, so full respect and props to them for making this excellent sculpt.
We reached out to a few of our close friends for our first custom series, and while we are still in the late stages of getting everything ready, we are aiming to launch the series soon after SDCC ends. The price for each custom will be $50 even. I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the quality of the customs that we've gotten back. Most DEFINITELY worth quite a bit more than the $50 price we decided upon when we were planning this project, but we wanted to keep these customs accessible to the vast majority of collectors, so $50 it is.
For now all we're showing you is the graphic which will be applied to outside of the boxes, but rest assured: teasers will follow in the upcoming weeks! If you keep your eyes peeled on the blogs and pages of the following artists, you may just catch a glimpse of some of their custom Marshalls!

Foox "Fortune" print available now

by
A limited edition of 100, David Foox's "Fortune" print measures 2.6" x 6.1". 
This one makes me all nostalgic since it features 2 very prominent elements of my childhood: Hot Wheels cars (my first collecting obsession) and dinosaurs, both of which I STILL love! 
Buy the "Fortune" print here for just $19.99. I just bought one.
Fun fact: I once displayed my extensive Hot Wheels/Matchbox collection in the display case at my local public library. It seemed like a big deal at the time.

Joe Ledbetter Pico & Wilshire

by
The next full-size vinyl set from Joe Ledbetter is a sabertooth tiger & a wooly mammoth named Pico & Wilshire. Not sure if it will be available to retailers like us, or if it will be available directly from The Loyal Subjects. In either case, it's rad. Get one. Here's the press release:

The Loyal Subjects and artist Joe Ledbetter are proud to announce the release of PICO AND WILSHIRE. This terrific 2-figure set depicts Pleistocene drama at its finest! Trying to prove himself to the pride, an ambitious Sabertooth Cat (Pico) takes on more than he can chew with a peaceful Wooly Mammoth named Wilshire. 20,000 years ago they roamed what are now the streets of Los Angeles in large numbers.

Speaking of large, this figure set is HUGE! The Sabertooth Cat (PICO) is nearly 6" and the Mammoth (WILSHIRE) stands 12" tall! Pico sits firmly on the back of Wilshire, as he sinks his claws into the back of the hairy pachyderm waiting to drive those sword-like incisors into the neck of this worried furry fella. The figure set boasts precise and detailed decoration, packaged in a large double-sided window box. The set is limited to 415 units and will retail between $155.00-$165.00USD. Available Mid Fall. Pre-orders will start July 7th, 2010.

Will Pico feed his family? Will Wilshire escape to live another day? Or will they both meet their demise in the clutches of the La Brea tar pits?
