FIVE POINTS EXCLUSIVE #4: Forces of Dorkness Vader Moths

Our fourth Five Points Exclusive reveal is this giant 13" wide resin Vader Moth figure by Forces of dorkness. Pictured above is the “Emperor Moth” and the other 4 are named just by their colors: “Pink” “Green” “Purple” and “Yellow”. Pics below the map.

Each moth is 13” wide,  9” tall and about 2” deep and each one weighs just a smidge over a pound.  They are 100% resin and hand painted.  

Cast from an original sculpt by Forces of Dorkness. These are the only 5 (each one of a kind!) as the mold was destroyed after they were cast.  Each “Vader Moth” comes with a limited edition FOD sticker pack and the new FOD fabric patch.  

$100 each and available only at the Tenacious Toys booth at Five Points Festival June 2-3 2018

Tenacious Toys Top 10 Customer Reward Packs for 2017

After every new year at Tenacious Toys, we look back at our sales for the previous year and tabulate our top 10 customers for that year. We always put together some kind of reward for them - a free gift to say "thank you" for supporting our little shop over the course of the year.

Loyalty is SUPREMELY important to us, professionally and personally, so we go the extra mile for our top supporters. As a tiny business, having repeat customers who come back to us time and again is literally vital to the success of our shop.

This year (for 2017), we were able to plan ahead a little bit and put together an absolutely RIGHTEOUS package for our Top 10 Customers. Each of our Top 10 will receive a custom scarf, a set of prints, a ton of stickers, a handful of pins and buttons, and assorted other awesome pieces of swag.

Below is a little bit more about who contributed to the package, and what they contributed:

Caddyshack Doody Action Bar by Forces of Dorkness

"That thing in the pool from that golf movie released in 1980"

If you're a golfer, you've seen it.  If you like quality comedy, you've seen it.  If you are an actual human, you've seen it... if you haven't seen it, move along.

So there's this movie, and in this movie there is this scene when everyone gets a break and they spend a nice relaxing afternoon at the pool.  During this scene, teenagers being teenagers, one opens a candy bar, and another asks for a bite, and when the first says no, into the pool doth the second one toss said candy bar.  Well, this particular brand of candy bar has a strong resemblance to something we all create, and unfortunately some tend to leave in pools, creating the comedic chaos that leads to an emptying of the pool, and revelation that it is not a doody and actually a candy bar that has a name close to a famous baseball player.

This is a tribute to the classic movie "Caddyshack", one of those films that can be watched over and over, lines can be quoted, laughs can be had, and now you can own the "unofficial" star of the film.

 

 

2 versions of this release are available, one as the name of the candy bar, and one as "doody" so your choice is the before, or the after.  Each version is limited to 18 pieces (golf has 18 holes...get it?) for this release.

Each package come with an inedible resin cast of said candy bar and custom card art and packaging from The Forces of Dorkness.  

This is the perfect gift for that special someone who appreciates an amazing film.

Each package is 9" h x 5.25" wide x 1.5" deep and ships with a couple of stickers as well to show how much you love The Forces of Dorkness

Shipping in the US is $3.99 via USPS.

Note:  This is not a fucking toy.  It is also not edible, and more so it is only for ages 18 and up.

The figure is available in the FoD store: http://forcesofdorkness.storenvy.com

2 New Releases x The Forces of Dorkness

Forces of Dorkness has two new releases, well two new old release with new packaging.

First off is Buddha Fett, the classic makes another return.  This time around it's high gloss sparkle UV reactant colors and GID Jades.  13 pieces in total bagged (zipper on the bottom) with brand new header art.  Each Buddha Fett comes with a very special sticker (one of 2 possible) that is made up of posts from a bootlegger that decided to throw some weak shade years ago when the original release of mine came out.  Each one is $25 dollar and shipping is $3.95 in the US

Secondly is Bart2-D2, everyone's favorite robot boy from Springfield, Tatooine.  This round is a direct result of a leak at the Power Plant.  Just like Buddha Fett, Bart2-D2 comes in Sparkle UV or GID Jades.  Originally released at NYCC bagged with a Header Card, this time he comes in a Clamshell with brand new art.  Limited to 10 pieces. $19.95 each and shipping is $3.95 in the US.

Both releases will also ship with one the new Forces of Dorkness stickers and come from deep in the heart of Texas.  Available in Forces of Dorkness' store.

All of the Reasons Your Opinion Matters by Forces of Dorkness

 

Available exclusively at http://forcesofdorkness.storenvy.com for $9.95 ($3.95 for US shipping) this bootleg of the Extratruckestrial x RenOne epic collab "The Nothing" figure helps you tell those who like to speak their mind, over and over and over... just how important their opinion is to you.  

 

The internet gives us all a place to make our voices heard, and it's the perfect place to let those people who think they are your friend tell you what they think about things.  Opinions they are like...well you know...we all have one, except this figure doesn't stink like dookie.

"The Reasons Your Opinion Matters - The Action Figure" is the latest release from The Forces of Dorkness.  Each figure has unlimited points of articulation, an infinite number of accessories, and comes in any color you can think of.  This lighty modified bootleg is the perfect addition to any collection, and comes in a resealable clamshell package with custom card art and a couple of the new Forces of Dorkness Stickers.

 

 

Bounty Monsters OOAK Action Figures by Forces of Dorkness

Forces of Dorkness has released a new series called Bounty Monsters. Each is a one of a kind creation and comes with both of the new Forces of Dorkness stickers. Grab them in the FoD store at http://forcesofdorkness.storenvy.com

The Pencil from John Wick Chapter 2 - A new creation from The Forces of Dorkness

"That fucking nobody is John Wick." said Viggo Tarasov as he told the story about John killing 3 men in a bar with a pencil in John Wick and *spoiler alert*...in John Wick Chapter 2  you get to see him kill some bad guys with one. (Bad Guy is subjective in this case, who really is the bad guy you may ask yourself, me...I consider anyone trying to kill me the bad guy, and I bet John does too).

This is a tribute to an amazing action-movie franchise. It's a real pencil, coated is resin for durability, and custom painted to look like it has entered someone's skull and then been retracted. Each one is hand made so there is some variation between each so no two are alike.  Call it a toy, call it a collector's item, call it a weapon, just don't call John and expect him to say anything on the phone or to use more that 3 words as a response in a conversation.

Each one is a standard sized No. 2 pencil in a custom bloodied bag (note:  It's paint and not actual blood becuase that would be gross and probably smell after a while) with a custom designed header card by The Forces of Dorkness.

$16.95 gets you one and being the nice guy he is Scott is also including shipping in the US.  The release is limited to 20 pieces, and to make one part of your collection all you have to do is go to their online store.
