Big Cat Series 1 by Fuller Designs

James Fuller, of Fuller Designs, has been busy lately creating new figures. Wanting to go bigger, Fuller created a 6" figure based on his Grrr character. Sculpted to be a little rough around the edges and all grown up, Series 1 of Grrr Big Cat Series features 4 different designs: Classic Tiger, Snow Leopard, Lion and Panther(Bloody). Priced at $140 each plus shipping, each figure was molded and cast by Fuller himself. Painted using Createx airbrush paints and acrylics, these are definitely a labor of love by Fuller. If these sell well, Fuller might be able to produce a Series 2 later this year. Due to the amount of work involved in creating these beasts, Fuller had to make the decision to limit the number of designs per series to just 4. Be sure to check them out and pick one up, these are great. As of right now, the Classic Tiger edition is sold out but there are a number of each of the remaining 3 designs.

Lil Jammies Artist Series - Grumble by Rocketboy

Rocketboy, Ryan McClure, created this little guy named Grumble, for Fuller's Lil Jammies Series. The Lil Jammies Series consists of 1-off customs from various artists, each utilizing the Lil Jammies sculpt, which was originally created by Fuller. While the original Lil Jammies figure has an articulated head, Rocketboy chose to sculpt Grumble's head in place. Grumble also features facial expressions and coloring which is typically seen in Rocketboy's customs. Grumble is just the first teaser for the Lil Jammies series to be released, with more great customs to follow.

The Lil Jammies Series is expected to be available on January 31st and will retail for $70 plus shipping. To make this series more enticing, Fuller has teamed up with stores Vinyl Riot and Collect and Display to give away two DIY packages to a couple of lucky customers who purchase a Lil Jammie from the series. Keep an eye out on this blog for more releases.

In the meantime, to purchase a DIY Lil Jammie, head on over to one of these stores;

Custom PAW! and Androids by Fuller

James Fuller, of Fuller Designs, has been kind of quiet as of late. However, he always seems to be working on something. Whether it's completing customs pieces for his own mini Series or a custom commissioned wedding topper, Fuller keeps a steady flow of work. I've always been a fan of Fuller's work and his latest commission work is outstanding. I am definitely digging the White Rabbit custom, which uses Coarse's PAW from the False Friends release. From Fuller's description of the piece, it's just half of a set which is going to also include a Mad Hatter, which I imagine is going to be made off of the NOOP figure. I'm looking forward to what else Fuller has in store for the custom toy world.

Fuller's Grr Dunny custom turned into limited-edition skate deck

 Last year Fuller did a dunny custom which he called "Grr" (above). Fuller says: "The story behind Grrr is he is a little monster that lives in the forest. He doesn't want to be a monster so he dresses up like a tiger and runs around growling and scaring the little forest animals. I still love Grrr and I wanted to dedicate my next board to that character. I will be doing a whole campaign revolving around this character. I have T-shirts, pins and even a plush in the works for him. I hope you will like it."

Fuller's Grrr deck is available for preorder in his shop here. They'll be shipping in May, and he's only making 10. They'll all be signed and numbered. This looks like a sweet deck, and one that I'd proudly hang on my wall. (I ride too messy to even consider bolting trucks to something like this) Personally I'm very excited for the Grr t-shirts and plushes he has in the works. 

Stay tuned for more info on those!

New from Fuller: Rebel Western, Mega Munny & So So Happy

 

Fuller shares with us 3 of his most recent pieces: above is a Rebel Ink figure which seems to be a favorite with many customizers. Fuller was given this one as a commission and was tasked with giving it an Old West feel. The other criteria was using the colors red, black, gray and white. I wonder if the customer knew how amazingly bad-ass it would turn out?

The sick piece above is actually a Kidrobot Mega Munny, which means it started out 18 inches tall! And with Fuller's sculpting/accessorizing, it's probably more like 20 inches now. That's a BIG friggin custom. It's like the size of my whole apartment. Here's what Fuller said:

I wanted to do add something to my Black Magic series. I don't do very many Mega Munny so I thought I would make him into one. I did a ton of more sculpting on this than I normally would. I have to say it was really fun. This was my original design of Voodoo from series one, but I decided to do a brown version. Thinking I like this one better. He will be for sale. 

(Watch Fuller's shop- this piece either has not yet been put up for sale, or it has, and it sold in the 5 freaking days it took me to get this blog post up!)

OK, so I'm starting to get this whole So So Happy Qee show. So So Happy has a number of characters of their own, which the artists are incorporating into their work. And to be honest, despite looking at different artists' and companies' characters day in and day out, I have to say that I really enjoy the So So Happy characters. You can see them all here. They're cute, and there's a bunch of them. 

Fuller writes: This is my entry for the SO SO Happy Project. I chose the character TRIBE. I wanted to add a few other characters and what better place than his mouth! 

One of the strongest elements of this piece, and many of Fuller's pieces, is his use of bright colors contrasting with black. I dig that about his work.

Here's a little more about the So So Happy Qee show, which I took from the blog on Toy2RUSA's site:

So So Happy x Toy2R Custom Qee Project

Shawn Wigs Silly Rabbits Dunny Series: Fuller

These supremely evil-looking custom Dunnys by James Fuller are a part of Shawn Wigs' Silly Rabbits Dunny Series. You can purchase blind boxes here.

Kings of the Seasons 3-inch Dunny Series by Fuller

James Fuller is one of the most recognized and most prolific customizers working today. His talents are immediately evident when you look at the detailed work he puts into each piece. Fuller is currently accepting preorders for his upcoming 3-inch Dunny series titled "Kings of the Seasons." Each piece is $65 + shipping. Obviously, there are 4 characters, and Fuller will make 4 of each piece (16 total pieces). You can preorder yours here. Incredible work! Fuller has a real eye for graphics. 

If 3" custom Dunnys aren't your thing, Fuller also works on pretty much every other platform, including one of my most favorite toys ever: Nada'One's Kid666 figure, which you can see here. Check out his website here, his web store here, and his Tumblr here.
