Tenacious Toys NYCC Booth 3121: The Collective

by

This year for New York Comic Con, we got a bigger booth (a triple) and we are splitting it with some of our best friends:


All of those guys bought into the booth, meaning they all have a permanent piece of the booth. Each of them have their own agenda, releases, customs, resin figures and artwork.

This blog post will be updated over the next week with details about each artist's events, and I'll also be posting more blog posts covering signings at the Tenacious Toys section of the booth, our exclusives and the various collaborations we have arranged. Stay tuned! There is a lot to share.

UPDATES:
Matt Anderson will be displaying and selling customs and resin figures. His Night Terror artist series will be at the booth, featuring the custom work of many talented customizers.

Rsin will have custom work available at the booth, plus a lot of other things happening- his very own Dunny will be released at the Kidrobot booth at some point during the Con, so you'll be able to get your seigned either there, or back at our booth.

Mr. Munk has been going BEAST in his studio the past month or so, painting up the biggest variety of custom he's ever displayed anywhere. All will be for sale.

Kris Dulfer will be displaying & selling a wide variety of customs and resin figures alonside his buddy Brendan McGuiness, another budding customizer. Look for more collabs at his part of the booth with our friend Cash Cannon and others.

Ian Ziobrowski will be selling his customs from the Nugglife universe, as well as prints, alongside his brother Eric.

Bad Applez Inc will be rolling up with a huge variety of prints, resins and custom pieces by NEMO and Osiris individually, plus several Bad Applez Inc collaborative projects.

Tenacious Toys will be selling: Exclusives like the Uncle Argh Noir and JPK Pandaimyo Blue Mini Qees; customs and resin figures by a huge variety of artists and companies; prints; our Resin is King Series 2 blind box figures if there are any left; Jason Freeny's Gummi figures; VISEone's Tube Monsters; new vinyls from Bugs & Plush; and lots more. I'll cover all that type of stuff in subsequent blog posts.

More info will be added soon!

Resin is King Series 2 Teaser: Kilroy III

by

ANNOUNCING RESIN IS KING SERIES 2

Tenacious Toys in conjunction with Dead Hand Toys announces Resin is King Series 2: a blind-boxed resin mini figure series featuring the sculptural resin work of 16 artists! Each artist was asked to develop a new sub-3" resin sculpt and submit 10 pieces to the series using that sculpt. With 160 pieces in Series 2, this promises to be a much bigger release than Series 1.

We even worked with our good friend Lisa at Kidrobot: the KRNY store will host the Resin is King Series 2 release party on October 4th from 6-8pm! Many of the artists will be there in person to sign their pieces, and there will be exclusive and highly-limited prints by some of the artists available for purchase. Blind boxes and full, sealed 16-pieces cases/sets of the RIKS2 BBs will also be available, and we'll be hiding a Golden Ticket in one of those blind boxes that will get the lucky winner a sweet prize from Argonaut Resins! On October 5th, any leftover Resin is King Series 2 blind boxes will be put up for sale online at TenaciousToys.com.

WHAT IS RESIN IS KING?


The idea for the Resin is King blind box series was born out of an interest in artisanal resin collectibles. Brian Ahlbeck (Dead Hand Toys) and I decided last year that we wanted to shine a light on the top-level craftsmanship and creativity of resin figures and the artists that make them. We made a few phone calls and Resin is King Series 1 was born. Now for Series 2, we've expanded to reflect the wide variety of resin figures being produced day in and day out. We're always really excited as we prepare for these releases because every single WIP shot that rolls in is a brand-new sculpt! We hope you dig these resin figures as much as we do.
