Wolf Voigt's Custom SolarColorDust OMFG on eBay!

by
Wolf Voigt (creator of Solar Color Dust) has customized a bunch of his "Ice" OMFG Series 2 figures and they are available on eBay, right here. Aside from a couple with the holographic glitter (seen here on Cuddlehard), there are several with color-changing paintjobs, shown below.

Wolf has long been known in the mini figure community for his technical wizardry when it comes to insane dyes and paints, and we are all glad to see him bringing his skills to OMFG.

MaloApril x JFury Dunny Collabs for UVD

by
For a few weeks now, April Elliott (aka MaloApril) has been posting a few WIP pics of some recent customs she has been painting. The original sculpting was done by JFury, while all of the painting and even a few accessories were completed by April. The colors are amazing on all of these customs. I especially love the dragon. The knight feature some awesome detail work, which includes painted chain mail, a shield and even a sword to complete the look. To see more pictures, head on over to April's Instagram. These are some very cool custom Dunnys!

JFury is also painting up some dunnys that were sculpted by April. All of the customs are expected to be a part of Urban Vinyl Daily's sculpt and swap series. I don't have the official title of the series or even who else is involved, but based on a response I got via an instagram comment, the series is shooting for a Fat Tuesday drop. Just in time for some of us to spend some money before maybe giving up buying toys for 40 days.

Stay tuned for more details as we get them.

Custom Bill the Yeti by RSIN

by
Rsin posted up this custom Yeti, which was commissioned by an avid collector. The custom is built off a lesser known figure, called Bill the Yeti, by David Lanham. Based on the original figure, it seems that Rsin added some sculpting to give it more of an Rsin Art look, as well as painted it up with some great colors. I like the color palette of this figure. It's a bit different from Rsin's regular orange and black palette. Another great custom for Rsin to start off the new year with.

Tetsunoken Squad by Artmymind

by
Artmymind just posted up a recently finished commissioned set called "Tetsunoken Squad". In the middle of moving and creating awesome show pieces, Artmymind found time to create this awesome set of customs. This amazing set includes a custom 3" Dunny and 7" Munny. I really like the sculpted pieces on both figures, as well as how the hoses and metallic looking armor gives both figures a nice cyborg feeling. The details and finish on both pieces are clean, as always is the case with Artmymind pieces. This set is going to make one patient private collector very happy.







If you want to see more pictures of these amazing figures, head on over to Artmymind's Facebook page and give it a like.

Cleopatra Mist Bot, Circa 1886 by DeeTen

by
Another awesome steampunk piece (Ghost Girl) from DeeTen, in his typically style. Really dig the mask and of course the tubing!



Background:
The expedition of 1886 into the parallel reality recorded their encounters with these mist bots. While our expedition was touring the 13 great cities of the other realm, they came across the city of Cleopatra. The city seemed to appear out of the mist of the mountains that surrounded its valley location. When one arrives at Cleopatra they are given special vision devices that allow its user to see through the thick fog as if it were not present at all. Our travelers marveled at the thought of a city constantly shrouded in mist so thick the actually boundaries of the city are those of the fog that engulfs it. A poor man of ours actually found himself incarcerated for bottling up some mist as a keepsake. While touring the magnificent gold spires and towers our explorers came across these mist emitters. They were seen floating about through the streets and gathering around buildings releasing mist at a constant slow flow rate. When asked about what purpose they filled, the people of Cleopatra shrugged, rather comically in fact. Old folklore of the city tells that they were present when the city was constructed. In fact, they are the machines that provided the thick mist that blankets the city in moisture. The mist also protects the city from the unusually high concentration of solar rays that bombard the area. The citizens of the city gave the machines no attention, which we presumed normal for their society. However, our expedition was teaming with ideas about what a machine such as this could promise. Several of these bots were given to our expedition as gifts for the betterment of our world. This particular bot returned with us to our reality, fully functional, until the portal between the worlds closed. At that moment the bot fractured and crashed to the ground, as well as all of the other technology brought over. All attempts to reanimate the bot have failed.

This piece is now available at deeten.storenvy.com

Green Panda Gazer Bust by Angry Woebots x Lightsleepers

by
Aaron "Angry Woebots" Martin and Lightsleepers are releasing a "Green Hawaiian" colorway of the Panda Gazer Bust, through Silent Stage Gallery. This latest release is different from the rest, in that it's not limited by quantity, but it is only going to be available for a limited time. This means that everyone will have a chance to snag one, as long as you make your purchase during the timed release.

Available for $150 plus shipping, now through Thursday, January 18, 2013. This latest Green clear resin colorway is looking like the last colorway of the Gazer Bust.  So, make sure to pick one up or be sad when this panda bust goes extinct, just like the Panda King.

Me Man by Tim "timselF" Munz

by
A new week means the next reveal for Red Mutuca's Superish Dunny Series. This week's custom design is by Tim "timselF" Munz, called "Me Man", a narcissistic pretty boy who flies around with a mirror.

From Red Mutuca:
Aside from Todd McFarlane's Spawn, super-heroes tend to be rather pretty boy types. In fact, if you told me that as Superman flew by some highly reflective skyscraper windows that he felt the need to stop and check out his baby blues & pearly whites then I'd totally believe you. And, trust me, this has everything to do with Tim "timselF" Munz's "Me-Man." And, let's face it, if we were as stunningly perfectly painted as Me-Man is, we'd be checking ourselves out in our tiny wee hand-made mirror accessories too! Sporting a real cloth cape, there's something about this figure's brilliantly made nose that I just can't stop staring at. If you're hoping to pull one of these narcissistic beauties for yourself, then good luck…  there will only be 3 of them in the series.
I'm really digging the concept and design of Tim's Dunnys. It's too bad that there are only 3. The limited number should make this design highly sought after. The Superish series by Red Mutuca has a small batch of blind boxes that will go on sale once all the Dunnys are complete and ready to ship. Hopefully that will be in the next month or so. All the artists involved are creating some great pieces.

Carving The Comics - The Wonderful Wooden Toy Art of Charles Ponstingl

by

I'm going to take a slight detour from current designer toy coverage and bring you all something a little deeper. I don't know what else to say about this amazing and unique art, so I'll just provide some pictures and a link to the website by Mel Birkrant (another story in himself) to showcase the masterpieces he's collected by his friend and fellow pop-culture fanatic, Charles Ponstingl.









Do yourself a huge favor and follow this link. There is just way too much to show here, perhaps too much to take in all at once.
