Something new this way comes from The Forces of Dorkness

by
Well folks, after a huge success with Buddha Fett (and by huge I mean one guy creating things in his garage with primitive tools and a shoestring budget, and pouring each one by hand), I thought maybe it was time for something new. So after months of contemplation, the new piece has finally come together. Yep, it's resin, and I can't even start to describe the colors I was able to produce this time around, but it looks like a family of unicorns threw up gallons and gallons of rainbows.

As of now there are 27 pieces total, with the possibility of more (based on my time). all boxed up and ready for October.

"October you say?" That's right, everyone's busy with SDCC right now, and since I'm not making the trip out west and you probably won't do anything with this until after that is over, I thought October would be a good month. October is also the month that has another big event in it out east, and there's a good chance I'll be making a personal appearance at that one with these guys.

Cactus Rocker's safety pins, patches, and guitar may make him seem tough, but he needs his cactus suit for protection just as much as the rest of the Cactus Family. He just doesn’t want you to know it! Buy the 6-inch tokidoki Cactus Rocker figure from us here.

Red Leopard Saber Tooth Dunny by bryancollins on Etsy

by
This is the first time in 3 years that Bryan A. Collins has released a non-blind-boxed custom Dunny. 
Go get it! Bryan says:
The Dunny will come as seen in the photo, with it's own "Color Chemist" box, three pin-back buttons, and a sticker. This is the only piece I plan to make under these circumstances for a while since I still have commissions and exhibits on my plate. I had actually started this piece last year and put it on the back burner. In order to clean up some unfinished projects, I got up extra early a few days in a row and got this piece finished.

Codename Paw Raw! by Sekure D

by
This is one of the latest projects, Codename Paw Raw! from Sekure D. This artificially intelligent Paw Raw droid is his first Coarse toy custom. This custom was a commission piece, but he is open for other commissions. All the patterns and colors are making this piece an epic PAW, some extremely great work!
