Fizz Kids from Carbonation Toys

by


Meet the Fizz Kids: what happens when fuzzy wuzzy toys meet an explosion of carbonated bubbliness.

Fizz Kids is a new line of figures from Carbonation Toys. What makes these different from most other pieces is the packaging. Each figure comes in a custom soda can relating to the individual character. With a twist and pull, the outer shell of the can comes apart from the base and the figure inside is revealed.


The sculpts are interesting and the attention to detail in paint and design is great, with figures  encapsulated in a plastic dome for ease of display (figures come out of dome to stand alone if you prefer to display it without the dome).

These are pretty badass, and like all of the 3A we've ever stocked, these WILL sell out completely. So don't sleep! Click here to buy these 3A Paschas.





Get off my 1:6-scale lawn! Old Iron Man 12-inch articulated figure by Headplay

by
Another piece by Headplay, looks to be same price as the Popeye figures they put out a few months ago. I love how they take pics on their desks. The lighter is a nice touch- I suppose for scale? Wish they'd keep their ashtray out of the shots... No white background, no info in the emails. Just an email with 12 pictures is all I get. Here are a few of the pics. Gotta love the toy industry...

This piece is highly articulated, 12 inches tall, with Old Man Cane and light up eyes, Arc Reactor chest and light up cane. I would guess I'd have to sell these for $300 shipped like the Popeyes. As always, hit me up using the contact form to the right, or leave a comment, if you're interested. Basically with Headplay items I just order the qty that I need to satisfy your requests.

Terminator Custom Munny by Jon-Paul Kaiser

by
Cyberdyne Systems T-800, Model 101, is Jon-Paul Kaiser's latest custom. Most people know the Model 101 as the Terminator, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jon-Paul was commissioned to recreate the iconic character and he actually spent quite a bit of time getting it perfect. Since Arnold has such a distinctive look, Jon-Paul had some trouble capturing Arnold's likeness, going through a lot of trial and error. Jon-Paul even sanded and resprayed a few times to get the custom right. The end result is an amazing representation of the Terminator. Photos were taken by photographer Justin Allfree, Jon-Paul's go to photog.

Custom Hellboy Figure by Wetworks

by
Carlo Cacho, artist behind Wetworks, recently completed a really cool custom painted Hellboy figure, with base. The base is made of wood and clay, while the base figure is a Mezco figure. Wetworks did well to provide a better overall paintjob and with the addition of the base, the completed custom is really nice to look at. No word on whether this was a commissioned piece, or if it will be made available for sale.

Expect more information to be released as PJ finalizes paint applications and other projects he is working on for ToyConUK2015.

Commissions and store releases typically keep artists busy, while also throwing in an art show submission every so often. For Rsin Art, in between battling ongoing medical problems, Rsin tries to knock down his long commission list. A few of his latest completed creations include a Custom Skullhead, a few 1/12 3AA Bambaboss customs, and a Custom Dragon Boy. The Skullhead and Dragon Boy are commissioned pieces, while the Bambaboss' were a recent store release (Sold out). Some great work by Rsin.

V.e.r.a.1 Model from PolyopticsLabs

by
Brian Anderson, of PolyopticsLabs, has decided to create a limited run of the Vulpues Exploration Rover Alpha 1, or V.e.r.a.1. Since being first released 3 years ago, less than 30 of these handmade models have been created. Featuring more than 30 assembled parts, with working lights and a removable head panel, each V.e.r.a.1 is also hand painted with a military style finish. About the V.e.r.a.1:
The V.e.r.a.1 is designed to excel in dynamic scenarios by rapidly adapting to unknown environments.
Instinctual behavior blended with artificial intelligence, controlled by our on board systems, translates into a truly interactive operating experience.
When initialized and adequately powered, the V.e.r.a.1 will process information in the environment and intelligently respond to stimuli. In that state it will directly experience perceptions, sensations, and thoughts.
With a total of 11 pieces being made available, through preorder, the breakdown is as follows:
  • 6 Original Colorway V.e.r.a.1 - priced at $300 plus shipping
  • 1 Military Steel Colorway V.e.r.a.1 - priced at $400 plus shipping
  • 5 Unpainted Clear/Frosted Colorway V.e.r.a.1 - priced at $200 plus shipping
Overall, each V.e.r.a.1 measures around 10cm x 11.5cm x 9cm. With each V.e.r.a.1 being hand made by Brian, there will be differences in each one and should be handled and enjoyed with care. Also, keep in mind that this is a preorder and it is noted that shipment can be 4 months out. Be sure to check out PolyopticsLab for more info.

This is most likely, the very last Cavey that will be available, unless Holly finds some free time to produce a small run in the future, so a lot of people will be after this little blue Cavey.

For those who plan on attending ToyConUK 2015, be sure to find The Toy Chronicle booth and pick up a Bearded TTC Cavey.
