A collaboration between Kidrobot and Clutter Studios, the OctoDunny will be released Friday May 12 at PIQ Grand Central and PIQgifts.com. 

This 5" resin Dunny is triple cast, with a solid green interior covered in a glow-in-the-dark interior skin, and a blue tinted exterior cast. The glowing interior octopus design was sculpted by Josh Kimberg. This early release is a PIQ exclusive in an edition of only 25 pieces. 

The OctoDunny and a second triple cast Dunny release coincide with the installation of the Five Point Festival tribute window at PIQ Grand Central. Both figures will be available at PIQ Grand Central and PIQgifts.com starting at 5pm May 12.

Our first reveal of a Fve Points exclusive! You will be able to find the Forces of Dorkness Nature Warriors series of 6-inch custom figures in booth 229 for $60 each! Scott is also a part of our Resin Is King Series 4 release, so lots of FOD to grab at our booth!

NEXT REVEAL: Resin Is King Series 4 Figures by FOD, Renone, TobyArt & Abe Lincoln Jr

Our final reveal of the next 4 pieces in the Resin Is King Series 4 lineup! Here we have one of the 4 colorways of the Forces of Dorkness piece, one example of the Renone skull, and the standard colorway of the TobyArt Buffalo Wings figure.

Last image is of the Rocky figure designed by Abe Lincoln Jr (our special guest artist). Rocky is the debut figure in Abe's upcoming Satanikids series, which will make a bigger debut on its own later on this year! For now, we have the bright yellow Rocky in our RIKS4 series! Rocky was sculpted by NEMO and cast in resin by Jacob JAMS for the debut appearance.

Resin Is King Series 4 is 110 blind boxed resin figures, each slightly under 3 inches. Each BB is $30 and the debut will be at our booth #229 at Five Points 2017, May 20th. There will be Golden Tickets in the boxes and assorted goodies on hand, plus many chases and unique color variants.

We will also continue our in-booth practice of swapping: if you fancy one of our display figures, you can always buy a blind box and swap out the figure you pull for one of the figures we are using as displays.

The artist roster for Resin Is King Series 4 is:

• Kyle Kirwan
• Eyehart Toys
• UME Toys
• Renone
• Forces of Dorkness
• TobyArt
• One-Eyed Girl
• Pickman's Vinyls
• Dollar Slice Bootlegs
• Leecifer
• Abe Lincoln Jr (with NEMO & Jacob JAMS)

The Toy Chronicle Presents: Pricing! The Experts Viewpoint

Great article by TTC taps a few experts (including Benny) to weigh in on how to price your custom toy work. What's fascinating is how different all of our responses are, based on our differing roles in the custom toy game! Excerpt below:

...we often hear the biggest question on artist’s lips: “How do I price my work?!” We hear it more in the run-up to conventions – whether that’s ToyConUK, DCon, Five Points, as a lot of newer artists who are working out of their bedrooms are starting to venture into the big, wider world of Designer Toys for the first time and are looking for guidance. Some artists get it right, some horribly wrong. The question still remains.

Magitarius Releases Little Creepers Peg Figures

Magitarius’s new line of Little Creepers is a break, in a sense, from the way they normally create their figures. This series batch is cast from old childhood toys with their own mark (the sculpted heads and gut decals) on them and tweaks them in way that sends’em straight to Hell… zombie style.

This is the first foray for them into the bootleg world of toy making. Most of their work is obscure, mainly because it’s their own world that they are creating.  These figures reach back into that childhood psyche’, a ghetto quantum leap into the past mixed with elements from today’s culture, infused with all things zombified. Single figures and more colorways are to follow…….

If you want to pick up your own set, head over to Magitarius's site. Each set is $75 and perfect for you or your little ones.
