Samara from The Ring Munny custom by Fuller

by
Fuller sends us these images of his sick 4-inch Mini Munny custom: Samara is the creepy character that crawls out of the well, and the TV, in the horror flick The Ring. Definitely one of my favorite scary movies! You can buy Samara from Fuller's web store here. This 4-inch custom is painted with airbrush paints and acrylics.

The Camo Project: TYO Toys The Camo Project Book & Matchbox Van

by
Pairing wildlife illustrations with camouflage patterns, NYC illustrator Victor "Vickipages" Roman creates The Camo Project: a self-published book series that is inspiring a fashion and artistic movement in New York City and gaining support among his urban art world friends and like-minded fans. The recently released volume 2 focuses on bird species, providing field-guide information for each feathered illustration and insight on the creature's use of natural disguise,  as well as the history of its man-made camouflage backdrop.

The limited edition TYO x The Camo Project Van commemorates the book series and artistic following with the 1:64 scale diecast Matchbox van. 

While supplies last, each van comes with 1 of 3 buttons. If you find the silver button, you win a  'Camo Project x TYO Print' signed by Vicki Pages. 

TYO stands for "Tag Your Own". TYO Toys sells a number of different blank white vehicles in a variety of sizes that you can buy and tag up without getting arrested. Cool idea.

New customs by Dave Webb: Minion, Batman, Robin, Pinhead and more

by
Recently artist Dave "Davemarkart" Webb transitioned from creating tentacled, toothy monsters to doing TV/movie characters. This one is Minion from the movie "Despicable Me". Above is a WIP shot of a piece by Dave which is, frankly, from several weeks ago. Still, as I play catch-up after our custom show, I wanted to post about the stuff that my artists friends have been working on. A while back Dave bought a truckload of Androids from us and this is the type of piece he has been working on lately. Cool stuff! Check out his Facebook page for images of a Batman and Robin set, Pinhead, and some sick, toothy Munkos.


NINO 3-inch resin toy by Andrea Mancuso

by
Not much info available on this one but here's what I have: NINO is made of resin and measures 3.1 inches tall. This figure is made by Andrea Mancuso who is from Genoa, Italy. More pics on Andrea's Behance page. I always love seeing new resin pieces. Apparently this one will be available at toy shops soon.

Glass Maple Leaves by Eric Toygodd Frank

by
 Our friend Toygodd is exploring an alternative medium: glass! He's been hard at work in the studio, perfecting his glass art skills. Here are a couple of beautiful maple leaves he's crafted in glass. Next up: TOYS! I've seen several pieces he's been working on in glass and I gotta say, the medium is really interesting. The visual effects achieved in the glass are way different than what's possible in vinyl or resin. Will be posting more about Eric's work soon.

Scott Kinnebrew Futuredores Series 1 Dunnys

by
Fresh off the Candy Coated Custom Show in NYC, Scott Kinnebrew has once again teamed up with Tenacious Toys for the release of "The Futuredores"

Each 3" Dunny is a custom one-off a designed specifically for epic performance in the business of saving mankind from the grips of evildoers everywhere.

The entire series is now available here on our website. Each piece is available separately except for "The Twins" who come as a set, because seriously, who wants to break up a set... they get all whiney and that just gets irritating after a while.

Shin Tanaka custom Gruntor series drops this Friday

by

Announcing a very special release on Tenacious Toys: a Shin Tanaka custom series on the Idolz Toys Gruntor platform! Shin customized about 2 dozen of these awesome 3-inch sculpts, and we are blessed with the opportunity to release them in our shop!

Each figure in this Shin Tanaka custom series is hand-painted in a metallic hue that varies across the figure and across the series, and further embellished with heart motif that becomes almost floral in the way it creeps across each figure. 

Every figure in this series is unique. The price will be $50 each and we will release these figures this Friday, April 27th at 10PM EST. Look for these figures to drop in our Idolz Toys section.




To learn more about Shin Tanaka, click here to see his website, or click here to read an interview in Format Magazine. Shin is a Japanese street artist who is perhaps best known for his work in the paper toy world, but he's also worked in vinyl toys and a variety of other categories of art. 

To learn more about Idolz Toys, click here. Idolz Toys' Gruntor figures feature 6 points of articulation and come with a hammer accessory. The feet are removable and the figures stack, and they can even be worn as pendants!
