Bigshot Toyworks Represented at NYCC 2014 Tenacious Collective Booth 208

All City Style blank 20-inch trains will be available for purchase at Booth 208

 This year we are representing Bigshot Toyworks at NYCC 2014 in the Tenacious Collective booth #208. There will be BSTW products for sale, plus prototypes of upcoming figures and some special reveals of projects that are underway.

We will be selling blank All City Style trains at our booth, as well as some of the remaining Miya-San figures designed by Martin Hsu.

In addition, we will be showing off the first factory samples of the finished Little Maddie figures in their packaging. Little Maddie will not be for sale at NYCC, but you might get a glimpse of the next Four Horsies figures slated for another Kickstarter...

We will also be displaying a few prototypes of the next couple of Bigshot Toyworks figures which are currently under development.... more about those will be revealed this week! A new release will drop soon at the Bigshot Toyshop.... wonder what they will drop as a second release, as a follow-up to the Mike Mignola Monkey with a Gun figure?

Tenacious Toys NYCC 2014 Exclusives

This year, Steph and I are going about NYCC a bit differently... after managing this huge booth last year in addition to trucking in and selling our own exclusives and regular inventory, I personally was beyond exhausted... I took a lot of time off after NYCC, which really isn't great for business. You build up all this momentum, and that's the worst time to disappear and have the shop closed and fail to respond to emails. Lesson learned.

For 2014, I decided I am JUST managing this booth, so I can be more present to chat with people, take care of my collective and makes sure the whole 600-square-foot shebang goes off smoothly.

That being said, it's really difficult for me to actually roll up to NYCC without bringing along some exclusive releases. Thankfully I can rely on a network of super talented artists to create cool pieces for us to sell.

This blog post will grow, but for today, here are the first Tenacious Toys NYCC exclusives I have to share:

• Sam Raimi action figure by Credenda Studios - 50pcs, $65 each
• Pandara Super Hero Edition by SoKo Cat - 5" tall, 3pcs, $75 each
• Lil Death - Spectre Edition by SoKo Cat - 4" tall, 3pcs, $75 each
• Burgermeister NYCC Exclusive by Jacob JAMS - 1.5" tall, 10pcs, $15 each
• Burgermeister Blue Tenacious Toys Exclusive by Jacob JAMS - 1.5" tall, 10pcs, $15 each

I'll share more blog posts this week about the exclusives that members of the Tenacious Collective are bringing, plus our signing schedule and the other non-exclusive toys and collectibles we will have on hand. If you'd like to get a jump on that info, all of the current info I have about the exclusives, signings and releases for the other members of the Tenacious Collective can be found on our website here.

The Cenobots 2.1 blind box series is not necessarily a Tenacious Toys exclusive production, but rather a series 100% developed and launched by the artists involved. We are giving this series the chance to debut at NYCC at our booth!

Kyle Kirwan at NYCC 2014 Booth #425

This year at NYCC 2014, Brooklyn based artist Kyle Kirwan will have a bunch of stuff to show and sell at Booth #425 in the Block. In addition to Stickers, trading cards, buttons and magnets, Kyle will have a new mini-figure on hand, as well as some customs for sale. Kyle is probably working like a mad man getting everything completed and ready for NYCC, which seems to be growing every year.

At NYCC, Kyle will also have the Willo Resin Prototype on hand, for people to take a first hand look at. The Willo prototype was the basis behind Kyle's successful Kickstarter, which funded back in May. Rotocast resin pieces are going to be made as rewards, based on the prototype. This will be a chance for people to get a better feel for size and scale of Willo. Hopefully this will get more people excited for Willo, so when the figure does release, there should be no problem selling them to the masses.

 

Not to limit himself to just 3D goodies, Kyle will also have some original pieces of art for sale at his booth, #425 in the Block. Everyone who is attending NYCC 2014 should stop by Kyle's booth and pick up some items.

Custom 3" Sketchup Dunny by Jon-Paul Kaiser

Jon-Paul Kaiser's latest completed commission is a 3" Sketchup Dunny. Using a ship in a bottle theme, which is similar to a previously completed Skethup custom, Jon-Paul added a little twist to this custom. This wonderful custom is inspired by the classic novel Moby Dick. On top is the distressed Pequod, getting thrashed by waves, while the great white whale is dives below. Another incredible piece completed by Jon-Paul Kaiser. As with all of Jon-Paul's creations, the beautiful photos were take by Photographer Justin Allfree. Keep in mind, Jon-Paul may still be open for commissions, so head on over to his website and contact him for more info.

The Obligatory Owl By Ardabus Rubber

Once in awhile Ardabus Rubber gets up to something with a representational flare- and it's really cool. There's something cosmic about the composition of the elements, with a few stylistic appropriations of the artists' recurring circus themes. 

The Obligatory Owl is a new addition to Ardabus' inked lineart drawings and prints. This piece is now available as an 11x14" giclee print on 300gsm entrada cotton rag paper.

Bring one home to roost here.
