Adorable Destruction is Immanent- SpaceCrab by PaintByIan

Impending doom has never looked so freakin cute. Instagram's @Paintbyian has come out of the gate with his first custom vinyl toy for Martian Toy's Space Crab Wars for Designer Con 2015. Team Europe certainly has a strong contender in this one; that little Lunartik is poised to fire the big guns. I love the clean machined finish of the sculptural additions and paint application- not a seam in sight.

Check out Martian Toy's booth #603 for the full exhibition of Space Crab Wars at Designer Con 2015. For more of Martian Toys offerings, follow along here, and check out PaintByIan's painted racing Helmets & Car body shells here.

NEXT LEVEL - Plastic Cell Marzy

  

To celebrate my triumphant return to blogging here, I'm going to do a series of posts about folks that I feel are doing "Next Level" work.

First up is the new Marzy release from Plastic Cell.

So why does this qualify as "Next Level"?

1. Double DIY:  Sculpt, mold and cast blank THEN sculpt and paint customs?  Awesome.
2. Presentation:  Full color packaging, figure with accessories and a print.  Take notes folks.
3. Price: Total package price for the Marzy figure - $89 plus shipping.  Accessible to collectors but not astronomical.  Perfect pricing.
4. Quality: Just a damn nice looking figure.  Evocative and respectful of the source without being a shameless rip off.

All the releases are based on a blank figure sculpted and cast by the Plastic Cell crew called "White Cell".  They can be purchased individually for an exceptionally reasonable $15 (mine was $22 shipped).

So check them out on Facebook and Instagram!

Christopher Wallace by BOS ONE

'Here is my latest toy simply titled, 'Christopher Wallace'. It is a tribute to the greatest rapper of all time, Biggie Smalls (Christopher Wallace was his real name). I made him in the Aardman Animations style which is the company who brought us Wallace and Gromit. I live in Bristol (U.K) which is the home of Aardman and have listened to Biggie since I was a kid so this character mash-up just felt right!'

He stands 7.5 inches tall and is made from sculpey, wood (for the cane) and sponge (for the afro).

MeSmithy KayNid Anubis and Winter Kitsune

We'd like to welcome our newest advertiser, Megan Smithyman, to our blog! MeSmithy is an artist working in CA, utilizing stitched leather to create her unique custom toy designs. In my opinion, once you start incorporating old-school materials in a custom toy, it starts to make that transition from "toy" to objet d'art. It feels legit, for me, maybe because I frequently have to explain that these items are not in fact toys, per se, in the normal definition of the word. Still, a painted piece of plastic is seen, by many people, as a toy, no matter what you say. Throw some leather on there and I think most of those people wouldn't need so much convincing. Handcrafted leather items seem to hold more weight in traditional society, and I think MeSmithy's customs are a wonderful crossover type of product that help legitimize our obsessive toy collecting. 

Plus, I love Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Just sayin'.

Check out MeSmithy's website here. For some really unique custom art toys, keep wtaching MeSmithy's shop. The Anubis figure (top) is for sale, in addition to other pieces.

JC Rivera x TazX Oozie Huntmouth collab customs

Our friend JC Rivera has teamed up with TazX on these awesome Oozie Huntmouth custom pieces. I'm telling you, everything that JC touches turns to gold. The extra added gooey, monster-y flavor of TazX's style make these 2 pieces incredibly special. You can purchase them here in JC Rivera's shop. Don't sleep; I bet ya these will sell within a day or 2. JC says:

TazX and I worked  on a 3" Dunny and a mini munny. We wanted to combine our styles to see what would come up from it. We created some creatures that we called them Oozie Huntmouths.
These are Half Rusted Machines and Half creatures.
