Birch Tree Ent Mini by Kevin Gosselin

by
Kevin Gosselin recently finished a set of custom mini munnys called the Birch Tree Ent Mini. A small series of 10 customs are going to be made available for purchase at Noon PST on February 9th. Made using a Mini Munny as the base, Kevin sculpted and painted the gorgeous piece you see below. With a price tag of $275 plus shipping, I think that this a perfect price point for such an awesome piece, considering Kevin recently auctioned off his MW3 APs for more. I'm sure this will make any collector very happy.

If you are keen on purchasing one of these customs, be sure to get your F5 button ready before noon on Saturday. To go along with this release, Kevin has also put up a few more customs in his shop, Sydney the Sapling and Field Study Mouse. A couple of great looking pieces as well.

Hitomi by Bjornik

by
The latest amazing Dunny from Bjornik...


No one quite knew how the men were disappearing. They were yakuza, after all, gruff and fearless and able to take care of themselves. But as they went missing one by one, whispers started to circulate among the locals of a one-eyed sushi with a taste for mean blood or a flaming wasabi ronin bent on revenge.

Only Hitomi, the dainty geisha famed for her alluring eyes and siren singing, knew the truth. Smiling to herself in the mirror, she touched up her crimson lips and hid a pair of razor-like chopsticks in the secret compartment of her geta. She had an appointment tonight with Kenta of the Yamaguchi-gumi. Their first meeting would be his last.

Patrick Wong "Water Snake" 5" Toy2R Toyer Mini Qee Custom
This new custom by artist Patrick Wong is produced to celebrate the new Chinese New Year this February 10, 2013 - the Year of the Snake. This upcoming year the cosmic element is water and this is combination of animal and element is used for the design of this Mini Toy2R Qee Toyer figure.

People born in the Year of the Snake are reputed to be thoughtful and wise and to approach problems rationally and logically, seldom instinctively. Such people are complex beings, they are clever and men of few words from their birth.

Shadoe Delgado's new Custom Tequila

by
 
Shadoe Delgado has really done it this time- his new custom Tequila is sure to blow you away. Shadoe's custom toys have been moving in a sculptural direction, and these removable wing additions and protruding mask take the Tequila platform to a new plane. While he's recognizable for his use of mask imagery, this is a new type for Shadoe, coming farther forward in 3 dimensions than his other mask work. It's great to see his work continue to develop and exercize new possibilities.
 
Shadoe's attention to detail is impecable- he has even lined the accompanying custom painted Poncho with leather to protect the body from scratches.
 
 
 
 
 
Shadoe has been carefully constructing ways of removing prodruding pieces like those wings via peg systems, which can be viewerd in Work In Progress photos on his Instagram @shadoedelgado
More of his work can be found here , or drop him a line directly at shadoedelgado@gmail.com
 
Shadoe's making a move to a new studio location, so if you're interested in commissioned work he has details about timeframes and availability, if you drop him a line by email above.
Keep it up Shadoe!
