Sapling Planter Sculptures by J*Ryu - Available now

Art is wonderful and functional art is even better. Some time ago, artist JRyu started making his Sapling series. These Saplings sculptures are not only great pieces of art, but they double as small planters or vases. One of JRyu's more recent Saplings, "Dear Lazlo", is one of his larger pieces measuring around 9"x9.5"x10" and created for Rotofugi's 10th Anniversay 10x10 show. Lazlo is sold, but there are other Saplings in the wild, waiting to be purchased. Unfortunately, many Galleries don't have a social media correspondent or at least someone who regularly posts about available art pieces, new or old. It's typically, do some promotion for upcoming shows to get people in the gallery and maybe notify the world of available pieces afterwards.

Back to JRyu and his amazing Saplings. Available right now from Art Whino, are a number of JRyu's Sapling sculptures. Most of JRyu's Sapling Sculptures are unique, each with it's own type of personality. Seen in the pictures are just a few of the available Saplings, waiting to be purchased and given new life as someone's vase or just as an art piece. Each Sapling is either 4" or 6" in size, priced at $125 or $160 plus shipping, respectively.

In addition to the one of kind JRyu Saplings through Art Whino, several retailers may still have some JRyu Baby Sapling Planters. For example, right now, Tenacious Toys has some exclusive Baby Sapling Planters available for $50 plus shipping. Limited to 25 exclusive pieces, these little guys typically come bagged with a header card and make a great desk planter for succulents.

As an aside, if any Galleries needs a person to actively promote available pieces of art, there might be some bloggers who would be available for hire. Just saying.

alto x Creo Design Little Blue Ox Resin Dropping This Super Sunday

If you're a follower of the Tenacious Toys Facebook or Twitter accounts, you've probably already seen  a sneak peak of the upcoming Super Series Sunday.  But in case you've been living under a rock or imprisoned in a factory by your own employees, here it is!

Alto x Creo Design presents their beautifully designed 3" Little Ox resin figure in a Tenacious blue color way.  Featuring eye-catching angles that create sharp lines and contrasting shadows this solid colored figure manages to capture plenty of hues.

But his beauty isn't just skin deep.  Little Ox features an articled head that attaches to the body via a set of strong magnets allowing the head to rotate freely. And topping it all off is the custom packing which features "nutritional info" on this little guy*.

This color way is being made available in a 10 piece run and will never be run again. Ever.  Don't miss your chance to add this once-in-a-lifetime piece to your collection.   The Tenacious Toys Exclusive Blue Little Ox will be available Sunday, June 30th, for $38.

SNEAK PEEK: Zombie Chuck Blue Tenacious Toys Exclusive

OK, yes, it's sorta silly to show you a "teaser" image of a figure we've already fully revealed... but here's the teaser of the header tag of our upcoming Tenacious Toys Exclusive blue Zombie Chuck figure by Brian Fyffe. Our shipment will arrive in a matter of days and we'll have these up for sale for $15 each in our Exclusives section soon!

Tenacious Toys Exclusive Blue Zombie Chuck resin figure

We are pleased as punch to support Brian Fyffe and the upcoming comic-con tour of his Zombie Chuck comic book by carrying this exclusive Tenacious blue colorway of the titular character, Zombie Chuck! Sadly, according to the story, Chuck gets turned into a zombie. Fortunately, he comes back from the dead to discover that he has amazing powers! He uses his newfound powers to rescue his girlfriend Lily from an evil robot from space.

This detailed 5-inch resin figure is cast in a very limited run by Adam of Adam Smith Studios in Kansas City. Price will be $15, and we will post up again once the figures have arrived (on their way right now!) Till then, you can read more about Brian Fyffe and Zombie Chuck at www.fyffo.com, and you can friend Brian on Facebook.

About Brian Fyffe:

Brian grew up outside Dayton, OH, playing in the radioactive fallout drifting out of Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He is currently living in Kansas City and working as a commercial illustrator for companies like Adobe, Leapfrog, Hallmark and many others. Brian's art is inspired by Basil Wolverton, Bruce Timm, Jack Davis, Jeff Smith and Dick Briefer. In general, he digs 60s and 70s cereal premiums and monster culture from the same era.

What the future holds for Zombie Chuck:

Starting this March, you will find Brian touring around the comic cons. The follow-up figure to Chuck will be another prominent character from Book 1 of the Zombie Chuck series. Aside from the comic, which you can buy here, Brian has made Zombie Chuck t-shirts, buttons, stickers and more! 

Book 2 will be released in the fall, along with 2 more figures and accompanying merchandise.

Tenacious Toys Custom Marshall Blind Box Series work-in-progress

So here's the process of creating our little Custom Marshall blind box series: take a bunch of custom Marshalls (above), and the ratio cards and stickers (left)...

 

Insert ratio card + sticker (cuz stickers rule) into each box...

Then apply stickers to outside of box, on the panels that used to show 64colors' beautiful original designs for the Marshalls (much respect to 64colors but we had to cover those designs because they no longer apply to what's in the boxes...)

Et voila! 

The Custom Marshall blind box series will be for sale in our Exclusives section this upcoming Sunday, September 26th at 9pm EST. 

Any leftovers will be brought to NYCC to sell in our booth in early October.
