The Beast Brothers recently released the "Apocalypse Calaverita" for purchase. This limited edition 6" fiberglass Calaverita is hand painted, signed and numbered by the artists. The bright colors pop against the darker color of the Calaverita, making it a great addition to any collection. I expect to see more limited edition Calaveritas in the future, of all sorts of designs and colors. That is unless, the apocalypse actually does take place.
From the Beast Brothers Apocalypse Calaverita product page:
There are many legends about the
apocalypse skulls but no one knows for sure their origin. The secret
Knights of Quetzalcoatl were the guardians of the skulls, but once the
conquistadores came they where hidden in a secret chamber and forgotten.
This ancient artifacts' sole function is to balance and contain
within the forces that could bring the apocalypse upon this world. The
Mayans, being the Aztecs enemies, tried to burry the knowledge of this
powerful skulls, making the World think that the end was imminent. But
there is still hope that once these skulls are scattered all over the
world the balance will return, avoiding the end of our civilization.
Each 6" fiber glass skull is hand painted, signed and numbered by the artists.
Available for purchase now on the Beast Brothers store for $150 plus shipping and limited to only 21 pieces. While you are at it, why not pick up the Black Calaverita as well.

Mostly Harmless has been featured here before for their amazing vinyl customs, but work this great deserves another shout out, and there is no shortage of new product being made available in the Don't Panic Store.
First you may notice the prevalent undead theme (I'm not complaining), like with these adorable face munching Androids, which are made to order.
Then you'll see there are a number of other platforms and styles represented, from the obligate Dunnys and Munnys to BUDS, even some Unicornos. For the serious collector, there's this undead 10" MadL for a cool $150. Not a bad deal at all, in fact all of the prices are quite reasonable for such face-melting works of art.
Keep watch on Mostly Harmless on Facebook or DeviantArt and snag something nice for your own shelf this holiday season. You deserve it!

But then I realized that this type of collectible is indeed thought-provoking, and got me to think about these issues once again today. And as we all know, Ron English is a master at creating collectibles that force you to take sides, discuss, argue, disagree, emote... and in that sense these figures are very successful.
But I still struggle with selling an item like this- would that make me a bad person? Would that mean I am glorifying the deaths of American troops, or would it mean that I am trying to shed a light on hot-button issues that are poignant and relevant?
What's everyone think? Leave a comment!

Tokidoki recently released a new Unicorno mini series. It is equally delightful and as fun to look at as the first Unicorno series. Tokidoki never fails to please with their adorable and original designs. There are a lot of muted tones in this series which contradicts a bit with the rest of Tokidoki's work. But even though some pieces don't have a lot of colour they nonetheless pop and the series still shines. These pleasant creatures stand at two inches tall and are available for eight dollars in the Tokidoki shop. I'm dying to get my hands on the super cute Day of the Dead looking unicorn. After all a Tokidoki toy can brighten up anyone's collection, let alone day.

London based artist Paulo Mendes, aka Zukaty Toyz, has been putting in some studio time as of late. Zukaty is going to be releasing a dozen new customs with a price range of $55-75 plus shipping. Keep in mind that he is in London. Owning a few of Zukaty's customs myself, I really like the bold colorful pieces. The sculpted pieces look awesome as well and appear to have clean blending, which I really like. Overall, great attention to detail on all of the pieces. These customs are going to be available Wednesday, December 5th. Release time based on location: London 10PM; NY 5PM; LA 2PM. If you have your eye on one of these great customs, make sure to go to Zukaty's Storenvy and pick one up. While you are there, check out some of the other customs in the store, you might find something else you like.

We have quite a few of the super-popular Series 3 Androids available as open-box (meaning, we've identified which figure is inside the blind box). We offer reasonable prices on these open-box figures, which probably pisses off other retailers, and certainly the flippers on eBay.
We have more blind box cases in stock as well so if you don't see the Droid you're looking for, email us. We just might set aside the one you want next time we open up some blinds.

This new object is called ‘Little Buddy’, a guardian and magical dreamer bursting with ideas and inspiration. Sam & Tury suggest you put him close to your bed for the ultimate subconcious adventures. They offer this amulet as a power object, if you take care of it and watch over him, he will reflect your gestures and offer peace and love. The more energy you give him, the more he will charge your life with magic potency.
FriendsWithYou’s mission is to affect world culture by cultivating special moments of spiritual awareness and powerful, joyous interaction. Many of their works reference to toys because they are meant for play, a tool for unstructured free association and interaction. Their sculptures and paintings, inflatables and objects are meant to trigger the buried, neglected urges and yearnings that a seasoned art viewer may not expect to have activated; playfulness, laughter and inquisitiveness, with an end result of feeling connected. Influenced by the simple happiness found in everyday life, FriendsWithYou’s work is designed to be accessible to all.
This shiny gold glazed porcelain object (16x16 cm / 6.2x6.2 inch) is made in an edition of 25 pieces and comes in a silkscreened wooden box, with a signed and numbered certificate by FriendsWithYou.
Case Studyo apparently has no online shop, so you have to use their contact form to contact them if you want to buy one of these.
