Josh Mayhem White Rabbit with Deathray custom Bellicose Bunny

by
Josh Mayhem presents his addition to the custom Bellicose Bunny show at Toy Art Gallery entitled "The White Rabbit w/ Deathray". This creature from the Wonderland Forrest of the future is late for a very important date.... with whoopin' some ass! 

Heavily armed with a Deathray, helmet mounted machine gun, and transforming pulse cannon (which actually does transform!) you may just welcome a decapitation from the Red Queen if this unpunctual bunny has you in his sites.

This newest addition to Josh Mayhem's Askew Rangers is sold and accounted for, but you can find more of this custom toy series available at TenaciousToys.com here.

Josh is currently available to take commission work and can be reached through his website here.

Trevor Linden custom Munny by David Brodsky

by

mfc custom by Carson Catlin- a tribute to his father- to be auctioned

by
From Carson Catlin:
My father, Melvin, was diagnosed with Stage Lung 3 cancer in late August of 2011. He was given a regimen of Chemo and radiation. A few long months later, he was told he was in remission. Unfortunately, our joy was short lived as he developed a gnarly case of Pneumonia. After months of failed treatments, he couldn't go anymore and had to be admitted to the hospital.
I got to go home and spend a solid week with my father - for that I am very grateful. The day I got back home to Kansas City, I spoke to my father and his spirits were high. He told me he would be getting out that week which put me at ease. The next morning my mother called me to let me know that my father had a convulsion in the middle of the night and was now on a ventilator. It was discovered then, that he had 3 brain tumors. He left us a week later from septicemia.

mfc - his initials - is a 7" munny created to symbolize my fathers cancer that eventually took his life.
The right lung is visible (location of the initial tumor) and so are the three circles on the back of the head (tumors in his brain). Everything radiates from the tumors representing the septicemia. He is colored with a southwest blend of colors as my father was fond of them.


"mfc" will be auctioned off at the "Shave to Save Art Auction"
The event will take place in the VML Gallery on the third floor of 2020 (aka third-floor kitchenette) with an art preview between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. and silent auction between 6:30 and 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, and complimentary snacks and adult beverages will be served.

by
Introducing Munko & Zukie, traveling together! Alison used a DIY MUNKO and made Zukies out of sculpey, airbrush painted and hand painted details.

See? There they go! They're sold out and you missed it! Seriously, though, it looks like Alison Perez only made 2 sets of these Munko/Zukie mashup customs and they're sold out now. I bet you if you email her and ask real nice, she'll make one for you.

Customs by Cash: Vader Helmets, Angry Turds, Spider Man and My Little Pony Ninjas

Darth Vader helmets Cash picked up from Toys R Us. Used to hold candy. Love that SAW one on the left!

This is a Spider Man commission Cash did on a Mini Munny.
Angry Turds! One of Cash's ideas, based on a Munny poop accessory. Look for more soon!

A WIP based on a Teddy Troop, this custom features a glass eye.

This is a 4" Mini Munny that Cash is applying Sculpey to. Looks awesome already!

A Leatherface Dunny done as a present for a friend, complete w/ custom packaging.
A custom My Little Pony... ninja? Dope.

AlexBreak: Element Alpha Custom 8-inch figure

by
AlexBreak: Element Alpha Custom 8': Mon custom de la semaine "Chic Evil Choco" peinture sur un Element Alpha D-I-Y , la gourmandise , Mmmm ... "Neuf personnes sur dix aiment le chocolat , la dixième ment".

Obviously Alex speaks French. The quote above reads, I think: "9 out of 10 people like chocolate, and the 10th is dead." So true.

Crazy platform for a custom, eh? I think Ian Ziobrowski is using a different 8" Element as the basis for his entry into our April 21 show The Candy Coated Custom Show. Ian is making a little candy shop out of it, sorta like his Nuggy Growstation!

Blast from the Past: Dark Horse Relaunches Good Luck Trolls

by
From the depths of your child psyche- the innermost, primal areas of your brain that developed when you were an infant- the original, licensed Good Luck Trolls re-emerge to take over your boring desk at your decidedly boring job!

Trolls became one of America's biggest toy fads in the early 1960s, and again over the years in various revivals from many toy manufacturers.

In 2003, Toy Industry Association commemorated them among the one hundred most creative toys of the twentieth century. Also in 2003, a Congressional law allowed the Dam family of Denmark to restore their original U.S. copyright and become the only official owner. After keeping them off the market for nearly a decade, they have awarded Dark Horse Deluxe a license to bring back Trolls in a "mystery box" program.

This all-new assortment of colorful designs, with an array of hair colors and exotic surface treatments from glitter to metallic to flocked, are sure to stun both collectors and casual fans.

These will be blind-boxed mystery figures priced at $7.99 each ($119.85 for the full 15-piece display carton). Releasing in July 2012!
