David Kraig From A Galaxy Far, Far, Away... Chewie!

Using a 4" Munny to make this amazing Star Wars inspired piece, David Kraig has made one of my favorite customs of the year! Made with super sculpey and acrylics with the unusual but awesome usage of real leather and actual metal this custom "Chewie" has all the bells and whistles. I am loving the backdrop for the promotional photos as well which makes this piece pop even more. If you are interested in purchasing an amazing custom from David Kraig or commissioning one please click HERE.

Mother Of The Womb By Taylored Curiosities...

Welcome the newest series entitled "The Mother Series" to the Aromatherapy Plush line done by the amazing and talented Taylored Curiosities. Each mother is based on a "Feeling" that was created specifically for the Aromatherapy Plush line. The "Mothers" are 8" tall and have contrasting womb colors with 3 tiny babies sewn into each. Both the "Mother" and "Babies" are scented. The faces are made out of an original sculpt using resin and each is hand painted. Each is a unique hand crafted piece as no 2 are the same since all are made by hand. If you are interested in picking up any of these cute and colorful creations please click HERE.

Arts Unknown Making Its Presence Known...

Arts Unknown has shared some awesome test shots of their brand new collaboration with 3 amazing artists! Above is the collaboration with Doktor A, a nice looking female robot with a nasty surprise behind her back. Below the first 2 pictures show the pieces designed by Frank Kozik, which is a safari style rhino and his trusted sidekick mini elephant. The very bottom picture which is my favorite of the 3 and is designed by Gary Baseman is the cute little worm with his tongue hanging out. All 3 designs are limited edition of 350 each. 1 out of 6 of each design will be a secret chase color way. Doktor A and Gary Baseman pieces will retail for $100 and Frank Kozik's piece will be $110. Tenacious Toys will be stocking all 3 of these and if you are interested in getting these for your collection, sign up for our email list!

Rampage Toys Wonderfestival Exclusive Dinos!

Summer Festival Dinos!, originally uploaded by rampage.toys.

Jon Malmstedt is getting ready to move back to Tokyo! I the meantime, he sends this message:
"What is happening in Tokyo now is a most excellent toy/model festival called "Wonderfestival" - on the 29th of this month. I'll be bringing along a batch of painted orange dinos, some Manotaurs and some RAMPAGE x GRUMBLE toy collaborative awesomeness! You can find me on a corner of a table along with Shirahama, Grody and Velocitron."

INCOMING: Jason Freeny blind-box toys by CAPSL

I've kept this toy series a secret for a LONG time. Saw these items at a trade show in NYC last year. Spazzed out, placed an order on the spot, but agreed not to post images or info until they were ready... so... finally, here they are! The Jason Freeny x CAPSL blind-box series!

These are about 2 inches tall each, and they unscrew in the middle and can be recombined with each other. The insides are hollow so you can carry stuff in them. They're also keychains. Incredibly useful and fun to fiddle with! Our order is shipping to us this week. I'll post a link to our site once they're in stock. Not sure of price (it'll be fairly low) or quantity per case but I'm assuming I'll sell out fast! Check Jason's blog post here.
