Jason Freeny interviewed by Norman Chan from Tested.com

by
One goal for all artists in the Designer Toy world should be for more mainstream media exposure. More exposure translates to a bigger available audience when art is available. Jason Freeny has been interviewed by many mainstream media outlets over the years, all of whom are interested in his famous quarter cut anatomical designed customs and toys. One of Jason's more recent collabs is with Luke Chueh's Target figure, which is going to have it's second colorway be available at the upcoming Designer Con in Southern California.

Norman Chan from Tested.com took some time to visit Jason at his studio, where Jason talks a bit about his process and background. Tested.com is an online blog created by the duo from Mythbusters. Check out the interview here:



Make sure to "Like" Jason's Facebook page, where you can see a lot of his step by step process. Also, be on the lookout for some information regarding Jason's upcoming show in Las Vegas.

New Custm Lotus Troopers from Flawtoys

by
 
Flawtoys shares with us his new pair of custom Lotus Troopers for MintyFresh. These pieces will be available through MintyFresh and can be inquired at  info@mintyfresh.eu
I like how the red detailing on each helmet connects the two as a complimentary pair, but they also look attractive on their own.
