Triplikid is Open for Business!

From Triplikid:

The Original!! Cast resin collectible by Tripilikd in the original concept colors. Groper stands 3.5 inches tall. He is custom painted by hand, so there may be small variations from piece to piece.
Item is on Pre-Order until October 5th. It should arrive in-store by Mid November and will be shipped promptly thereafter.

Ok, now let's talk.  I tend toward parsimony when it comes to praise.  I have encouragement and free advice for days but it takes something exceptional to warrant actual praise so here it is: This figure looks exceptional.  I would put this on my desk.  In fact, I will put this on my desk.

What makes this figure exceptional?

• Concept: Characterful yet simple.  A little bit of Critters with a strong cartoon silhouette.
• Sculpt: Hair is one of the hardest textures to sculpt and it looks awesome.
• Size: 3.5 inches (89 mm for metric folks).  That's a nice chunk of resin.  Not so large that it is unwieldy but not so small that you don't feel like you're getting your money's worth.
• Engineering: It may not look it but the figure is actually 5 pieces (pic below).  What this means from a tech standpoint is that each of the small parts (hands, "dentures") can be cast in a way that makes them much less prone to miscasts and flaws.

Triplikid is definitely adding to the "design space" of resin toys so I can't wait to get my hands on one of these and see what is up next!

Resin is King Series 2 Teaser: Kilroy III

ANNOUNCING RESIN IS KING SERIES 2

Tenacious Toys in conjunction with Dead Hand Toys announces Resin is King Series 2: a blind-boxed resin mini figure series featuring the sculptural resin work of 16 artists! Each artist was asked to develop a new sub-3" resin sculpt and submit 10 pieces to the series using that sculpt. With 160 pieces in Series 2, this promises to be a much bigger release than Series 1.

We even worked with our good friend Lisa at Kidrobot: the KRNY store will host the Resin is King Series 2 release party on October 4th from 6-8pm! Many of the artists will be there in person to sign their pieces, and there will be exclusive and highly-limited prints by some of the artists available for purchase. Blind boxes and full, sealed 16-pieces cases/sets of the RIKS2 BBs will also be available, and we'll be hiding a Golden Ticket in one of those blind boxes that will get the lucky winner a sweet prize from Argonaut Resins! On October 5th, any leftover Resin is King Series 2 blind boxes will be put up for sale online at TenaciousToys.com.

WHAT IS RESIN IS KING?

The idea for the Resin is King blind box series was born out of an interest in artisanal resin collectibles. Brian Ahlbeck (Dead Hand Toys) and I decided last year that we wanted to shine a light on the top-level craftsmanship and creativity of resin figures and the artists that make them. We made a few phone calls and Resin is King Series 1 was born. Now for Series 2, we've expanded to reflect the wide variety of resin figures being produced day in and day out. We're always really excited as we prepare for these releases because every single WIP shot that rolls in is a brand-new sculpt! We hope you dig these resin figures as much as we do.
