I want to hate on Funko but I can't... Funko POP Movies: Monty Python figures

 Everything in me wants to hate on Funko- paint quality is only mediocre. They're everywhere (oversaturated) and I can't make a buck on them, they are literally not worth the space I'd have to devote to them in my warehouse. I fart in their general direction.

But holy shit they keep coming up with some winners! Here they've licensed Monty Mython and the Holy Grail, one of my favorite movies of all time. I just.... can't.... not love them. ARGH!

They'll hit retail shops soon. Not mine, but you'll find them everywhere else.

Pop! Movies: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Our Monty Python and the Holy Grail Pop! set is just in time for the film’s 40th anniversary!

Relive classic moments with Arthur, King of the Britons, the pre-flesh wound  Black Knight, the highly quotable French Taunter, and Sir Bedevere, who was the genius behind the wooden rabbit plan.

Beware! Tim the Enchanter includes the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog! Proceed only if you possess the Holy Hand Grenade!

Surprisingly, we've posted quite a bit about Funko POPs. Check out our other posts here.

Jon-Paul Kaiser Latest Store releases

In between completing commissions and other projects, Jon-Paul Kaiser has found time to create some pieces to throw up in his online store. Jon-Paul has created 2 pieces that will be released on July 31, 1600 BST(11AM EST). "Heartbreak" is a custom Fatima figure, which was designed by Sam Flores. Jon-Paul left the figure intact, opting to cover the Fatima dress in imagery representing Heartbreak and hopelessness. This 8" custom is priced at £400.

We've posted a TON of work from JPK. Check out our previous posts here.

The second release is called "Kitsune Tattoo Foot", which is a custom created using a 3AA 1:1 scale severed foot. This 8" GID foot features a Japanese Kitsune Tattoo and is also priced at £400. Both customs will be available through Jon-Paul Kaiser's online store on Friday at 1600 BST.

All in Your Hands Custom Labbit by Jon-Paul Kaiser

One of Jon-Paul Kaiser's latest commissions comes from a private collector from mainland China. With the customer only requesting a "Hands" theme, the rest of the design was left up to Jon-Paul. This piece was a bit different from what Jon-Paul is used to creating, in that there are no landscapes or characters being created. The end result however, is a wonderful custom which also features a secret UV painting on the flanks of the labbit, which the customer will be able to see(and possibly share with the rest of the world). Photographs were taken by Justin Allfree, Jon-Paul Kasier's photographer for everything.

INCREDIBLY Talented Artist Jason Jacenko has Massive Stroke, Needs Your Assistance via GoFundMe

I wouldn't wish a stroke on anyone, but it hits closest to home (for me) when it's one of US. And by us, I mean this small, intimate art toy community. It happened to Andy (ToysREvil) and he will be the first to tell you that post-stroke life is NOT EASY. Regretfully, it sounds like Jason's stroke was even more severe than Andy's was, and he's going to need outside help to continue his art career.... to that end, Jason's partner Sally Ann has set up a GoFundMe campaign here to help aid in his care - 

CLICK HERE TO DONATE.

Jason Jacenko aka Atomika aka 696 Ink Tattoos has produced some of the most whimsical, detailed and gorgeous custom toys we've ever seen.

A Google Image search of Jason's toys just mind-blowing.

Please give a little to this artist who deserves your help.
I just donated.

CHEAP RESIN: The Minatorg by Forces of Dorkness

FROM Forces of Dorkness:

For thousands of centuries the Minatorg has been trapped on planet P. A cybernetic organism designed for a war long forgotten. The evils of hell directly injected through carbon nanotubes into the nervous system of this bio-robo. The Minatorg needs to find a way off planet P. The planet orbits a black hole and has existed in an anomalous state of time. Time is running out as the planets decaying orbit draws it closer to being sucked into the black hole…

This first time collaboration was created by Boyd Braden a.k.a. BOObotcher (Brooklyn, NY), with the sculpt, cast, and production being handled by Scott Kinnebrew a.k.a. The Forces of Dorkess (Austin, TX). The Minatorg, who stands 4 1/2” tall, has 2 points of magnetic articulation allowing you to position both his clawed arm and blaster arm in any position you want. Each figure is cast in transparent red resin, bagged with a custom glossy header card designed by BOObotcher, and assembled using otherworldly red chrome staples.

These are only $25 +shipping, and SUPER limited - so don't wait!
