Argonaut Resins Pharaoh Hound: first painted pics!

by
Argonaut Resins has released the first images of painted Pharaoh Hounds: Pearl White and Black Onyx colorways, with matching Tuttz cats. The Hounds are Argonaut's follow-up resin figure to the extremely popular Tuttz figures. Every single Tuttz release sold out immediately; I'd expect nothing less from these beautiful Hounds! 

Each Pharaoh Hound resin figure is 8 inches tall and is handcrafted and hand painted locally in NJ by Eric Nocella Diaz of Argonaut Resins. Argonaut will be releasing more colorways during the run up to NYCC in mid-October. Eric also spoke of his plan to release a mini version of the Hound after NYCC, much like he did for the Tuttz cats.

How are Japanese soft vinyl toys (sofubi) made? Watch this video!

by



Jon Malmstedt, owner of Rampage Toys, goes with his friend Velocitron to a mom & pop mini factory in Tokyo to watch the creation of soft vinyl toys. Velocitron explains to Jon some of the process, and you can watch it with your own eyes... Mysteries revealed!

We are all very excited for the release of the Rampage Toys Ugly Unicorn sofubi, which is in production now! Preorders are currently available in the Rampage Toys shop for the red and yellow colorways. If production proceeds without a hitch, Tenacious Toys will also be selling an exclusive blue colorway at booth 876 at the 2011 New York Comic Con in October.
