CHOOSE YOUR FATE Custom OTMFG 3DRetro Robot by Ersico


The 15th was what, Tuesday?  This little guy barely had enough time to hit the mailbox before Eric Sorrells started putting his custom magic on it.  And I really dig the spin he gave this minifigure from October Toys and 3DRetro.  Giving the head a green paint app changed the whole concept of the figure, from clockwork monster to a "lil green wormy pilot" of a steam-powered suit of armor.  The metal finish, detailing and other tweaks Eric gave this piece really make it pop.  You can add it to your shelves now, at the Ersico webstore.

Jesus H. Waterpipe Drops 4/20 at 4:20 for Super Series Easter Sunday

Jesus H. Waterpipe by Forces of Dorkness for Super Series Sundays on 4/20

Genesis 9:3 - “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”

…and so on 4/20, falling this year on the Christian holiday of Easter, Forces of Dorkness and Tenacious Toys bring you “Jesus H. Waterpipe” a.k.a. “The Bong Christ”.

Each piece is a solid resin hand painted graven image topped with a fully modern polycarbonate tube. The piece stands 7” tall and 3” wide. Each piece is hand made and will cost $40 plus shipping.

A note from Scott:
This unit is not functional as an actual waterpipe. Not because FOD can’t make one this small, but because using one this small is a stupid idea. More than likely you’ll just end up with a mouthful of water every time…with that said, it is watertight and can be used for things such as a bud vase, the world’s smallest column aquarium, a XXL shotglass, a spittoon, a jelly bean holder... the options just go on and on and on.

Jesus H. Waterpipe will drop at 4:20PM EST on 4/20 on the Tenacious Toys Super Series Sundays page.
GO HERE ON EASTER SUNDAY AT 4:20PM EST

TOYCON UK Leftovers from Haus Of Boz

Orchid - Custom Rhino Dunny by Haus Of Boz

Haus Of Boz had a few wonderful Dunny's left over from ToyCon UK. If you don't follow her on social media, chances are you missed out on a few of the ones put up in her online store. As of writing this, both Rhino's Toxa and Orchid, were still available at 64.99 GBP each plus shipping (~$109 plus shipping).
Toxa - Custom Rhino Dunny by Haus Of Boz
Each piece has great sculpted features and a detailed paint job. The Orchid Rhino has a nice sculpted and painted orchid as a main feature of the figure, while Toxa features a "toxic" green and black paint schema. These would make great additions to any collection.

The mouth and eyes are available in a Acid Green and Deep Blue colorway, each selling for 35 GBP (~$58) plus shipping. A nice color addition for this cool figure.

TOYCON UK Leftovers from NEMORI

Image of WINDERMERE - 3" custom resin 
For all those who were unable to attend TOYCON UK this past weekend, artists are starting to put left over stock online. One of those companies, NEMORI (the joint venture with Cris Rose and Lunabee) put up these great resin Windermere Owls. Priced at 25 GBP each plus shipping, or roughly $42 plus shipping, these resin owls are roughly 3" tall and are an original sculpt. All the owls are uniquely painted and some even come with a nifty hat. 

Another great thing about the NEMORI world, is the story behind all the fun little creatures being created. Be sure to head on over to the NEMORI online store and pick up one of these, and possibly a Brightfiled Bunny or Burntwood Bear.
