ICYMI: Superhero Nap Time artist Cole Brenner Live Painting at Longmont Artwalk

Unfortunately this post is a bit late to get people informed about the Longmont Artwalk in Longmont, CO. Cole Brenner, artist behind Superhero Nap Time, had a live painting session during the artwalk, where Cole painted a 48" x 36" canvas in roughly 4 hours. With the help of Cole's 2 year old , the end result is a Calvin and Hobbes inspired piece, with a "Schlopp of Dr. Suess' Oh The Places You'll Go, ' titled "On The Catwalk". Cole Brenner is the same artist who created the My Bomb to Bear 3.5" Resin figure, available through Tenacious Toys. This exact piece, as well as many other art prints, are available through Cole's online Etsy shop, Superhero Nap Time. Priced at $700 plus shipping, this colorful piece is a great deal, especially considering the overall size of the painting. Be sure to check out Superhero Nap Time and follow Cole through FB and Instagram.

Next SUPER SERIES SUNDAYS Release: Atomic Blue Corn Bearrito Rubber Figure by Diehm Studios

The Bearrito 2-inch rubber figure by Diehm Studios is a M.U.S.C.L.E. scale minifigure made out of "production" feel industrial rubber. This design, a collaboration between Jeff DeSantis (Bleeding Edges) and Diehm Studios, was an entry for the OMFG S5 line up.

Martin of Diehm Studios came up with the Bearrito concept, consulting with Jeff for the execution of the conceptual art, graphic design and header cards. Martin described the OMFG S5 as a "tough competition" and decided to produce the design himself here in the US. Martin sculpted, prototyped and produced the figure himself out of safe and tough industrial urethane rubber.

The metallic blue coloration, a Tenacious Toys Exclusive, comes from the addition of Boo Blue Magic Pearl Metallic Solar Color Dust. Bearritos will come bagged with a header card.

The Atomic Blue Corn Bearrito will go up for sale at 8PM EST on Sunday, May 17th on the Tenacious Toys Super Series Sundays page. Bearritos are $15 and these will be made to order, with an order window of exactly one week. Orders will be closed on Sunday May 24th.

SUPER SERIES SUNDAYS: 1:6-scale Tenacious Toozie Scloozie Shagghoulie Drops Sunday Jan 11

 

 A traditional ghoul is a desert-dwelling, flesh eating demon. In ancient times, ghouls dwelled in burial grounds and other uninhabited places. The Shagghoulie is a fiendish type of modern ghoul, residing in the Las Vegas area.

While ancient ghouls lured unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned buildings to slay and devour them, modern Shagghoulies lure only the semi-wary, and tend to attack in highly populated areas as a group, using a swarming action.

Luckily, they no longer kill. These weirdos are content to simply eat the hair, fingernails, dry skin, and any other dead tissue of the living. The creatures also prey on young children's shoelaces, drink rum, steal credit cards, and, on holidays eat the dead. They also have a nearly fatal fashion sense, stunning their prey with their fabulous shaggadelic jumpsuits.

They are known to be mediocre public speakers and occasionally suffer from dandruff. They are great dancers but highly antisocial. Do not approach or attempt to touch them. If they become startled, the fur of their shag suits can stiffen to needle-like spines.

The Tenacious Toozie Scloozie Shagghoulie was created in vibrant blue fur specifically for Tenacious Toozie! The We Become Monsters Shagghoulie figures are about 13 inches tall and feature an articulated 1:6-scale body with custom resin hands, feet and head, and a hand-sewn jumpsuit. This is an articulated resin art toy / mixed media piece, hand cast and hand painted by Chris Moore of We Become Monsters.

All Shagghoulies come with a free micro SLAB. SLABs are WBM's waste reduction program that turns waste resin into art.

The Tenacious Toozie Scloozie Shagghoulie will be available for pre-order on the Super Series Sundays page starting at 7PM EST on Sunday January 11th, and shipping to customers 2 weeks later. This Shagghoulie is limited to just 10 pieces in this colorway (with all other colorways now sold out) and priced at $100 each.

Forces of Dorkness Krampus on a Shelf Figures Drop Sun Nov 2

The holidays have always been a special time for all the good little children...but now we're taking time to celebrate all the rotten ones too.

Krampus, a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries, has always been thought to punish misbehaving children during the Christmas season. This horrific creature plays the foil to jolly old Saint Nicholas who rewards well-behaved children with gifts. It is said that Krampus captures particularly naughty children in his sack and carries them away to his mountain lair.

Take this little demon and have fun with the bad kids during the holidays. Krampus is designed to sit on anything. His arms and legs are movable and he balances perfectly on a shelf or anywhere else.

Available for pre-order only starting at 7PM EST on Sunday November 2nd. Preorder window is two weeks long, and no further orders will be taken after November 16th. All Krampus on a Shelf orders will be delivered in time for full holiday enjoyment.

Krampus on a Shelf figures are 8-inch long mixed-media pieces, all hand-made in the USA by Forces of Dorkness. Krampus figures will sell for $50 each on our Super Series Sundays page.

My Bomb to Bear by Cole Brenner drops September 21 for Super Series Sundays

Cole Brenner [ColeBrenner.com] is bringing his graphic design style to the toy world with the release of “My Bomb to Bear.” Five blue My Bomb to Bear figures were created for a Tenacious Toys Super Series Sundays release on September 21. The custom boxed toys have a bear strapped to a rocket that's mid-flight; each 3.5in resin figure is individually hand cast & painted.

Cole's experience as an apparel designer for J!NX & TAPOUT has been translated into his personal artwork which packs a dark & humorous punch.

“Its been the hardest and greatest year of my life. The change of focus from a Freelance Designer [BRENNERds.com] to a stay-at-home dad, and now to full time Artist & Toy Studio. The spark that motivated this change is the recent loss of my dad [comedian David Brenner], who had made it to Boulder, CO for the birth of my first son Wesley in November, but in April he passed away after battling cancer. I keep a photo of my dad and I on my work table, so he is with me in spirit. After his passing, my brother Wyatt and I went into a frenzy casting and painting. Now the toys are for sale on ColeBrenner.com and on the bottom of each box is a small “HEART, Dad” the signature of every email he sent me.”



The five My Bomb to Bear figures allocated to Tenacious Toys (above) contain one tentacled chase and four regular blue colorway figures. This Super Series Sundays release will take place at 6PM on Sunday September 21, 2014. Each blind-boxed piece will be $65.

The entire My Bomb to Bear series is made up of 60 blind-boxed pieces. Some Chase versions have missing limbs with metal caps, Tentacles and more fun madness.

Forces of Dorkness Bong Trooper drops this Sunday July 6th at 9PM EST

The second decorative waterpipe-style sculpture from Forces of Dorkness is the Bong Trooper a.k.a. TK-420. Each Bong Trooper piece is a solid resin hand painted graven image topped with a fully modern polycarbonate tube. The piece stands 7” tall and 3” wide. Each piece is hand made and will cost $40 plus shipping.

Please note, this unit is not functional as an actual waterpipe. Not because FOD can’t make one this small, but because using one this small is a stupid idea. More than likely you’ll just end up with a mouthful of water every time…with that said, it is watertight and can be used for things such as a bud vase, the world’s smallest column aquarium, a XXL shotglass, a spittoon, a jelly bean holder... the options just go on and on and on.

Bong Trooper will drop at 9PM EST on July 6th on the Tenacious Toys Super Series Sundays page. July 7th will mark the last day of sale of the earlier Jesus H. Waterpipe piece.

Jesus H. Waterpipe Drops 4/20 at 4:20 for Super Series Easter Sunday

Jesus H. Waterpipe by Forces of Dorkness for Super Series Sundays on 4/20

Genesis 9:3 - “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”

…and so on 4/20, falling this year on the Christian holiday of Easter, Forces of Dorkness and Tenacious Toys bring you “Jesus H. Waterpipe” a.k.a. “The Bong Christ”.

Each piece is a solid resin hand painted graven image topped with a fully modern polycarbonate tube. The piece stands 7” tall and 3” wide. Each piece is hand made and will cost $40 plus shipping.

A note from Scott:
This unit is not functional as an actual waterpipe. Not because FOD can’t make one this small, but because using one this small is a stupid idea. More than likely you’ll just end up with a mouthful of water every time…with that said, it is watertight and can be used for things such as a bud vase, the world’s smallest column aquarium, a XXL shotglass, a spittoon, a jelly bean holder... the options just go on and on and on.

During the traveling related to his tour of duty, my pops found himself briefly in Thailand. While in Thailand he came across a merchant who was selling different wares and curios. Among the objects he selected a metalish figurine of an old man with a crane perched at his feet. An excellent gift, he thought, for my grandmother. He eventually returned home from his tour. My grandmother possessed the figurine till she passed away, upon which my father reacquired it. The figurine was always on my father's dresser as far back as I could remember, and I was always fascinated by it.
