Man of Steal Print Release by SouJohn

by

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap… wait, that's not the Man of Steel, it's that dastardly Hoodley as the "Man of Steal"! The Big Payoff print series by Soujohn (co-founder of Mai Hiro) continues with this sly parody of the super-powered boyscout by reinventing him as the Masked Menace of Metropolis. While everyone's eyes are on the sky looking for Big Blue to fly by, Hoodley keeps his eyes on the real prize: a big bag of green! 


These 9" x 12" prints will be available at http://hoodley.bigcartel.com/ for only $10 each!

Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters Mortimer the Mortician and Oliver the Bat Boy set

by
Click here to preorder the incoming Mortimer the Mortician & Oliver the Bat Boy 6" vinyl toy sets by Kathie Olivas & Brandt Peters. 3 colorways of each figure, and each is individually packaged. Manufactured by Artoyz, these items have already been produced and will be shipped into the US soon. We don't have a solid arrival date but I'd imagine it'd be between 1 and 2 months before they ship to customers. 200 pieces made in each colorway of each figure- pretty limited! And Mortimer in the "Aqua" set glows in the dark!

Ryan "the Wheelbarrow" Ferrell continues to make customs using his somewhat free form ty_po style of art, with his latest custom Dunny series: WHT/BLK. It's been some time since Ryan made the move from Colorado back to Florida and it seems that he's getting back in the groove, letting paint fly.

Available now, each one of these dunnys are a unique 1 of 1 piece of art, that come with an equally unique hand screen printed box. With some figures featuring strategic lettering to produce facial features like eyes and mouths, the series as a whole is a great example of Ryan's style of art.

My new ty_po custom Dunny Series WHT/BLK will be releasing this Friday, June 7 at 10 pm EST in my webstore. There will be a series of 10 blind boxed 3" Dunnys for $58 each and one 8" Dunny for $310. Each 1of1 typographic miscreant is crafted with white vintage dry transfer instant lettering (Letraset/Chartpak) on black spray paint and will come packaged in a uniquely hand screen printed box.


Also available by Ryan is an 8" Dunny which is also painted in the WHT/BLK theme. This 8" Dunny sells for $310 plus shipping, while the 3" Dunnys sell for $58 plus shipping.

Quetzalcoatl 8" Custom Dunny by The Beast Brothers

by
The Beast Brothers recently released information regarding an 8" Custom figure based on their 2007 Kidrobot Azteca I Dunny design, the Quetzalcoatl Dunny. Rather than wait for KR to make a move to create this wonderful design, the Beast Brothers decided to make it themselves. If you don't already subscribe to the Beast Brothers newsletter, be sure to sign up so you get all the up to date information for anything Beast Brothers.



From The Beast Brothers site:
The Quetzalcoatl Dunny was the most coveted mini figure of the 2007 Kidrobot Dunny Azteca series. And now The Beast Brothers are set to release their Quetzalcoatl design for the first time as an 8” custom figure.
This amazing sculpt is one of the most elaborate and detailed to date, hand painted and donning a faux leather poncho, each piece will come safely packaged in a laser engraved wooden box.

Starting Friday, June 21st at 1pm EST, you will have only 24 hours to purchase this unique and rare custom figure for only $450

All sales are final.
Like many previous releases before this one, the Beast Brothers have decided to make this custom figure available as a limited release, open for only 24 hours, starting Friday June 21st at 1PM EST. This means that the run size will depend on how many people actually make a purchase, with the final run size never being released. With the price set at $450 plus shipping, I can see many collectors freaking out, since the money drain known as SDCC is just weeks away. Any collector who picks up this piece will sure be glad he/she did.

A Notable Moment in American Kaiju?

by
Paul Kaiju just sent an update this morning that his collab SEAGOOL piece with Luke of Lulubell is now being sold via Medicom (in Japan) as an exclusive. Apparently this piece was made by Paul Kaiju and painted by Luke. I am really not a kaiju expert so I don't know if American kaiju has been exported to Japan before (and to be fair, I don't even know if Paul physically makes these pieces on American soil)... but it's worth mentioning in that it seems American kaiju artists are being recognized by Japanese companies to the point that they'll go to the trouble of importing the American-designed toys.
Kaiju nerds, is this a common practice? First I've heard of it.

Seen on the net: Hello Kitty x Uglydoll crossover

by

Call it a convergence of cute. Sanrio and Pretty Ugly have embarked on a two-year co-branding deal that will see their IPs, Hello Kitty and Uglydoll, merge to create a limited-edition line of collectibles, which are set to debut at San Diego Comic-Con next month, with a sneek-peak for Licensing Show goers planned next week.

Two years in the making, the collaboration is rolling out with a set of plush from Gund that features the iconic feline dressed up as popular Uglydoll characters, along with a set of vinyl figures by Funko. Also exclusive to Comic-Con attendees will be co-branded t-shirts (Mighty Fine), iPhone cases (Uncommon) and a collectible pin set (PinUSA). The Gund plush, along with other items, will then roll out to US specialty retailers later this summer.
