Announcing the impending release of a Tenacious Toys x Rampage Toys blind box custom series collaboration: Mini Kaiju Cupcakes!
We have been collaborating with Jon Malmstedt and Rampage Toys for a while now on various endeavors. Jon pours these great little 2-inch Mini Kaiju Cupcakes in resin and at first he was painting them himself. Then he tossed the idea at me for a blind box custom series based on this platform, and I was game!
We decided to go with a 25-piece series and 5 different artists (one of which is Jon). Jon picked another artist (Justin Hillgrove of Imps and Monsters) and left it to me to pick the other 3. I chose NREAZON from Texas, Nasty Neil (iwillnotbeawastedtalent) who's now from NY, and OsirisOrion from CT. 5 blanks went to each artist.
You can see more images here.

• 25 blind-boxed pieces in the series

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to eating cupcakes... candy-colored, sprinkled-topped DEATH awaits you! MWAHAHAHAHA!
Our collaborative blind box custom series with Rampage Toys is getting on towards release! I took some shots of all the pieces together. Next step, they go into the boxes! More pics to come, along with release date info.

| NREAZON custom Mini Kaiju Cupcake |
When Jon Malmstedt first came to me with his Mini Kaiju Cupcake custom series idea, the first artist that popped into my head was NREAZON. NREAZON already has a pretty big roster of food characters- her logo is a skull ice cream cone!
As it turns out, NREAZON took the cupcakes we sent her and sculpted the crap out of them. Each of her cupcake pieces is completely different. Above is one of her customs, veiled with my secret blend of Photoshopped cartoonification. OK, OK, it's not really obscured all that much, considering it's supposed to be "teaser"... but there are 4 other NREAZON pieces that look totally different, so it's really not revealing much!
Stay tuned to this blog next week when we'll reveal the ratio info and more clear images of NREAZON's custom Cupcakes, as well as the other 4 artists' work.

| OsirisOrion Mini Kaiju Cupcake custom |
Every time I ask OsirisOrion to participate in a project I'm involved in, he brings me world-class work. Above is a poorly-veiled image of one of OsirisOrion's custom Mini Kaiju Cupcakes done for our collaborative blind-box custom series we're putting together with Rampage Toys.
To recap: the artist roster is OsirisOrion, Nasty Neil, NREAZON, Justin Hillgrove and Jon Malmstedt. The pieces are about 2 inches tall, and the resin platforms were hand-crafted by Jon Malmstedt. Each custom will retail for $35. There are 25 blind-boxed pieces in this series, with one Golden Ticket randomly inserted. We have one more teaser to tease you with (NREAZON) and then we'll start promoting the release next week! Release date TBA soon. This release will take place on the Tenacious Toys website.

Today's teaser is one of Nasty Neil's custom Mini Kaiju Cupcakes, which he dubbed the "Illuminati Swag Demons". Nasty Neil is the force behind I Will Not Be a Wasted Talent- a true renaissance man, Neil works in music, art and fashion. On any given night, he might be creating beats, crafting jewelry, customizing toys, smoking blunts, tweeting about girls who wear Uggs, or wandering around Manhattan. Or all of the above, at the same time. He's dangerous.
Full reveals of Neil's customs, more teasers and more info on this Rampage Toys x Tenacious Toys series to be released soon.

| Teaser WIP image of the 5 pieces Jon Malmstedt is contributing to this series |
We have a great project in the works in collaboration with Rampage Toys: a blind-box Mini Kaiju Cupcake series! Featuring 5 artists, this 25-piece series is based on the 2-inch Mini Kapukeeki Kaiju resin figure designed and casted by Jon Malmstedt of Rampage Toys!
Each artist is contributing 5 hand-painted Mini Kaiju Cupcake figures. Blind boxes will cost $35 apiece and there will be a Golden Ticket randomly inserted into one of the boxes which will get the recipient a 5x7 inch original art piece by Rampage Toys.
Artist Roster:
Jon Malmstedt (Rampage Toys)
Justin Hillgrove (Imps and Monsters)
Nasty Neil (Wasted Talent)
Top picture is a WIP shot of Jon Malmstedt's pieces. More teasers to follow in upcoming days!
Release date to be announced soon.
Below are the pieces Jon executed for the TAG show which inspired his design for these minis.
