Nuggzilla custom Munny by Ian Ziobrowski

Ian Ziobrowski of Genuine Artikle is a work horse. Here's one of his latest customs: "Nuggzilla", a 2-headed freak with one good head and one bad head. The body is from a 7-inch Munny and the 2 heads are from 3-inch Munnys. Ian says: Nuggzilla is a case of bad smoke, you never know when it creeps up!

Ian's also working on a 20-inch Qee for our collaborative effort with Wizard Sleeve Toys down in Florida: the Qee to the City custom 20-inch Qee show! Look for teasers from that show coming soon!

20-inch Qee Bear Custom Show at Multiversal

If you are in the Sunshine State in early December, you have the opportunity to witness one of the craziest custom shows happening this year: Wizard Sleeve Toys is throwing a giant art show and sale called the Multiversal Group Show at this year's Art Basel in Miami, FL.

Along with the work of dozens of traditional artists, Wizard Sleeve Toys will be exhibiting 20-inch custom Qees in a show called "Qee to the City". Mike of WST and I pulled some strings and managed to get 8 giant 20-inch Qee Bears out to 8 of the most talented toy customizers working today:

With this much talent, and this much vinyl, the Qee to the City custom show is gonna be off the hook! I just got off the phone with NEMO and Ian and they're stoked about the giant Qees they just received!  Stay tuned to this blog, and the blogs of WST and the artists listed above, to see work in progress shots and teasers as we run up to the beginning of December.

You can follow the Multiversal Group Show on their website, Facebook & Twitter. 

This show would absolutely NOT be possible without the help and support of Raymond Choy and Kevin Winnik of Toy2R, and of course our friends at Apex distributing Toy2R toys here in the US.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

NYCC Giveaways: 6 GID Purple Bacon MadLs at Tenacious Toys booth

Each of the 3 days of the New York Comic-Con, we will be giving away 2 Glow-in-the-Dark Purple SKET Bacon MadLs, care of Wizard Sleeve Toys. A total of (6) GID Bacon MadLs will be given away over the course of the con!

Here's how it'll work: the first 30 paying customers at the Tenacious Toys booth each morning will receive a number. At 4:30 every afternoon, those 30 people should return to booth 2878 for the drawing. We will use a Random Number Generator to give us 2 numbers between 1 and 30, and those 2 customers get the free GID Bacon MadLs! 

You must be physically present in the afternoon to win. One number per customer.

We owe big thanks to Mike Franco of Wizard Sleeve Toys for sponsoring this excellent giveaway!
