SDCC Preview: Titanium the Robot by Tony Montalvo

by
Tony “Titanium” Montalvo, Sculptor of Keithing's Myth Warriors and the Snackz zipper pull line introduces his new creation... "TITANIUM the Robot"!!! He’s the muscle and the heart behind the whole Titanium toyz line, where Tony designs the Toyz, and TITANIUM builds them! He’s the robot with the heart of titanium, which is an unbreakable metal! 

Tony built TITANIUM the way Frankenstein was built, taking parts from other robots and piecing them together... and it's pretty obvious that Iron Man was an inspiration for this figure! He stands a whopping 12" tall, is all hand casted and painted by Tony “Titanium” Montalvo, and the really cool thing about these is that the eyes and chest plate are glow in the dark. 

This figure will make his debut at SDCC 2011 via ToyQube's booth #4934 in the three colorways, limited to 4 of each and they are priced at $125 each.

Tenacious Toys Exclusive Blue Greads by Brian Ahlbeck

by
LYS0L just finished a small run of 8 special, Tenacious Toys Exclusive blue-tint Greads with pearlescent spray. I love LYS0L's Greads, and when I saw that he was testing out different color ideas and putting the images up on his Twitter, I thought it might be a good time to ask him to do a run just for us. 

Release date for our exclusive Greads will be this Saturday, July 16th at 5PM EST. 
Look for them in our Exclusives Section for $15 each. A freaking STEAL for exclusive, handcrafted, handpainted resin. Don't sleep on these!

(No, our blue Greads don't actually glow on their own... this is a fancy shot in a dark studio by LYS0L, using a light source that lights up the tinted resin. Cool shot though!)

South Park Dead Kenny 3 inch figure by Kidrobot

by
Dead Kenny 3" vinyl figure by Kidrobot
Release date for the Dead Kenny 3" vinyl figure by Kidrobot is 7/21/11. Just got our tracking info and it looks like we're all set for having the product in stock on the release date. 
We'll be selling this figure here for $10.95 each.

From the KR Kronikle:
Oh my god, we killed Kenny! South Park and Kidrobot kick off an awesome new collaboration beginning July 21. You know Kenny as the poor kid in the group, who eats canned food and frozen waffles for dinner and has died in innumerable ways in South Park’s first five seasons. Sculpted to look every bit the worse for wear, Dead Kenny features exposed brains, bloody ribs, authentic cuts, scratches, and scrapes, and an arm that falls off the bone.

Video coverage of Taipei Toy Festival by Plastic Culture TV

by

Sweet video coverage of this year's Taipei Toy Fest, which just wrapped up. Video by Plastic Culture TV, shared with me by Eric of Thunderpanda. Video stops briefly to speak with with CI Boys, FUNQ and Babekuhl...
Eric and Thunderpanda had a booth, and they sold out of the Perry the Sea Wanderer figures they brought to the show. Expect to see more Perrys from Thunderpanda soon (they're making 50 pieces). Also, their giant plush Lemi the Space Wanderers were very well received! 
Eric says he ran into the Baroness, Carlos of the Beast Brothers, Michelle Valigura and Amanda Visell. Sounds like some of our best and brightest artists were there to represent the Americas... 
Boy, I hope one day I can get over there to Taipei... looks like a lot of fun!

Jon Paul Kaiser 8-inch Olaf the Mute Qee

by
At right is the Toy2R 8" Olaf the Mute Qee designed by Jon-Paul Kaiser. I just saw this image for the first time in Kevin Winnik's Google Plus stream. Olaf is pictured next to the upcoming First Mate Nathaniel Vigo 5-inch Mini Qee. Nathaniel Vigo will be making his first public appearance at SDCC. Both pirates are crew members on the Whispering Corsair. There's a sweet Captain Sturnbrau figure coming as well, with a pirate hat, hook and pegleg. 
This Whispering Corsair series is shaping up to be AWESOME! 
Will be selling ALL of these JPK Qees so you'll know where to find 'em... Tenacious Toys!

Monster Invitational Group Show at FOE

by


Monster Invitational Group Show, July 8th - July 22nd, 2011

FOE has curated a group show paying homage to monsters. The idea of monsters is as old as civilization and what society defines as monstrous changes and morphs through time and culture. Depending on when and where you grew up, it’s likely some version of monster, urban myth or story shaped your fears and nightmares. No one escapes this rite of passage. Come out to see how 20 different artists from westernmass to Japan interpret their own unique fears, repulsions and pleasures. It may sound scary, but monsters are fun too, and fears confronted (or exercised) are fears conquered.

Artists Roster Includes : Stephen Blickenstaff, Michael Bracco/Spaghetti Kiss, Paddy Charles, Bob Conge/Plaseebo, Dream Rocket, Halfbad Toyz, Paul Kaiju, Jeff Lamm/Greasebat, Brian Mahony/Guumon, Ben Mininberg/Prometheus Rising Studio, Monster Worship, Mark Nagata/Max Toy Co, Michael Nordstrom, Osiris Orion, Ben Reigle, Todd Robertson, Splurrt, Eric Talbot, Velocitron, Dave Wach

Pieces from the show available for sale on FOE's website.
 
Cheers to my buddy OsirisOrion for this video and general awesomeness.
