Geisha Print by Jon-Paul Kaiser

by
UK based artist Jon-Paul Kaiser doesn't create prints often but he recently received a batch of wonderful prints he illustrated, simply titled "Geisha". Printed on A3 sized heavy-weight pulp paper (380 gsm) with a matte finish, each print is priced at £25 (~$42). Each print is signed and numbered, with an edition of 50 prints. The illustration looks quite beautiful, with some nice details, which may be missed when looking at the illustration for the first time. This print is going to look great properly matted and framed.
These "Geisha" prints are going to be available through JPK's online store on Friday August 29th at 1600 UK time (9am in California). Who knows, if these sell quickly, more Jon-Paul Kaiser prints might be coming in the future.

REVIEW: 10-Year Edition MAD*L Set of 2 by MAD Toy Design

by
It's not often that a product arrives in as minty perfect condition as the stock photos show on the producer's website... but these 5-inch 10-Year Anniversary Edition MAD*L figures I just got from MAD are absolutely perfect... stock photo above...
 ... actual photos here. Printing is tight and bold and the lines are super clean. I'm sure the added touch of shipping these figures in plastic baggies, inside draw-string printed pouches, inside a box, helped with the perfect arrival. Love the black & white motif. A couple really stellar additions to my personal collection.
 We are super proud to have been stocking the Mad*L figures from the very beginning (well sorta, we started whenever MAD put out Series 1, which sold like crazy... our shop is apparently exactly as old as the Mad*L figure).
Best of all, you can STILL get a set of these figures in MAD's online store here. The set of 2 is only $50, which is actually less per figure than his normal 5" MAD*L price! A steal. I'm astonished that there are any left at all. Get yours.

FP-420 Grow-op custom Deathshead by Ian Ziobrowski

by
 In 2028, WWIII devastated planet Earth.  Populations were decimated, factories stopped production, food shortages were rampant, and very few survived the slaughter.  Humankind was set back thousands of years.

The limited few that were left moved North or South, anywhere to escape the war madness surrounding them.  Generations of families did what they could to survive.  Many created small communities from the rubble of war - old factories, the remains of corporate technology, 21st century waste, etc.

Today is 2420, and one small mystical hamlet, 'Nugglife', sits high above all others in the territory formerly known as the Smokey Mountains.  This plush and close-knit community is one of the last green growing regions on Earth.  Its leader, Nuggs, is the most infamous grower in the world and he is about to unleash his most recent creation the "FP-420".

The FP-420 was created in an old gun factory responsible for the development of the miserable WWII failure, the FP-45 Liberator.  With the 2 story factory fully converted based on Nugg’s mastermind schematics, this facility can yield up to 10 bushels every 65 days.  Climate controlled via a two part diversion system, Nugg’s can keep the perfect temperature and humidity levels for his philanthropic operations. 
Figure Details:
o    *  10 inch custom Death'sHead figure
o    *  Hand created, designed, crafted and painted hand by NUGGLIFE (Ian Ziobrowski)
o    *  Powered by a 9 volt battery, this should meet everyone's growing needs post-apocalyptic destruction   

 So I'm friends with Ian, friendly enough to hang out with him outside of toys and to have each other in our phone contacts... but I gotta tell ya, it's hard to get him on the phone. I just played phone tag with him for over a week. He's so fucking busy it's not even funny. This is a perfect example of why he's so busy. What a goddamned epic piece. Just incredible. You can see AND BUY a lot more sweet pieces by Ian at our NYCC booth #208... Ian will be rolling up with the most customs he's every assembled for one event... so bring your fat wallet.

Sluggish Shadow Thing Custom Android by Shadoe Delgado

by
The Sluggish Shadow Thing custom Android figure was recently completed by Shadoe Delgado. Starting with sculpting the teeth, the Sluggish Shadow eventually fought back and even caused some stitches to be had.  After some evolution, time and injuries, Shadoe Delgado eventually completed this first version of his Android Slug. Shadoe Delgado does want to create more of these figures, while improving and evolving the figure further. For those interested, Shadoe Delgado would love some commissions to create more of these figures, so head on over to Shadoe's website for contact info.
 
In addition to the amazing Android Custom, Shadoe Delgado is also offering free shipping to the US on the life size masks. Even though these masks are meant to be a hanging wall piece, it's highly likely that these can be modified a bit to be worn as masks. For those interested, just be sure to enter FREESHIPM during checkout through the online store, to receive free shipping on the masks.
 
Go forth and check out the great work by Shadoe Delgado!
