SNEAK PEEK: Mini Kaiju Cupcake teaser #4

OsirisOrion Mini Kaiju Cupcake custom

Every time I ask OsirisOrion to participate in a project I'm involved in, he brings me world-class work. Above is a poorly-veiled image of one of OsirisOrion's custom Mini Kaiju Cupcakes done for our collaborative blind-box custom series we're putting together with Rampage Toys. 

To recap: the artist roster is OsirisOrion, Nasty Neil, NREAZON, Justin Hillgrove and Jon Malmstedt. The pieces are about 2 inches tall, and the resin platforms were hand-crafted by Jon Malmstedt. Each custom will retail for $35. There are 25 blind-boxed pieces in this series, with one Golden Ticket randomly inserted. We have one more teaser to tease you with (NREAZON) and then we'll start promoting the release next week! Release date TBA soon. This release will take place on the Tenacious Toys website.

Kaos the Klown Munny custom by B.A.L.D.

B.A.L.D. shares with us more of his finely crafted custom work: this is a 7" custom Kidrobot Munny titled Kaos the Klown.  He comes with a custom axe accessory and he's for sale in the CTU store here, along with several other customs by B.A.L.D. and other CTU artists. Nice work!

Halfbad Toyz: Smash Tokyo Toys X Halfbad Toyz reveal!

Halfbad Toyz: Smash Tokyo Toys X Halfbad Toyz reveal!: 

"Look for these to be released real soon with Smash Tokyo Toys. They will be insanely limited...."

These awesome 6-inch resin robot figures are a Smash Tokyo Toys design, brought to life in the mad CT laboratory of Halfbad Toyz! 

Warning: I WILL be gunning for an exclusive colorway run of these figures. It's not set in stone yet but Halfbad and I will be talking soon about that.

Our last collab with Halfbad was a Pearl White run of their Skekiltor figure, and although I'd like to stay consistent, I am aware that Halfbad has a variety of resin color/tint options that they can use. I am open to colorway suggestions!

SNEAK PEEK: Mini Kaiju Cupcake teaser #3

Today's teaser is one of Nasty Neil's custom Mini Kaiju Cupcakes, which he dubbed the "Illuminati Swag Demons". Nasty Neil is the force behind I Will Not Be a Wasted Talent- a true renaissance man, Neil works in music, art and fashion. On any given night, he might be creating beats, crafting jewelry, customizing toys, smoking blunts, tweeting about girls who wear Uggs, or wandering around Manhattan. Or all of the above, at the same time. He's dangerous.

Full reveals of Neil's customs, more teasers and more info on this Rampage Toys x Tenacious Toys series to be released soon.

Uglydolls to be turned into animated film

Actually, I'm surprised it took them this long. Excerpt:

Illumination Entertainment chief Chris Meledandri has acquired rights to turn the Uglydoll franchise into an animated feature film. Universal Pictures and Illumination will develop the film based on the global line of Uglydoll characters launched by husband-wife artist team David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. Meet the Fockers scribe Larry Stuckey will write the script, inspired by the dolls and stories created by Horvath and Kim.
