Cactus Rocker's safety pins, patches, and guitar may make him seem
tough, but he needs his cactus suit for protection just as much as the
rest of the Cactus Family. He just doesn’t want you to know it! Buy the 6-inch tokidoki Cactus Rocker figure from us here.

This is the first time in 3 years that Bryan A. Collins has released a non-blind-boxed custom Dunny.
Go get it! Bryan says:
The Dunny will come as seen in the photo, with it's own "Color Chemist" box, three pin-back buttons, and a sticker. This is the only piece I plan to make under these circumstances for a while since I still have commissions and exhibits on my plate. I had actually started this piece last year and put it on the back burner. In order to clean up some unfinished projects, I got up extra early a few days in a row and got this piece finished.

This is one of the latest
projects, Codename Paw Raw! from Sekure D. This artificially intelligent Paw Raw droid
is his first Coarse toy custom. This custom was a commission piece, but he is open for other commissions. All the patterns and colors are making this piece an epic PAW, some extremely great work!

I was just on the MPH site, and their blog, and stumbled upon this excellent interview with Jeremy Brautman. Worth a read. I dig both MPH and Jeremy so this is good stuff.
(If you don't know about Jeremy yet, read the blog post for links to his website. Quality writing about toys, art, art toys, design and green cats....)

ServeEm aka
“C.A.N.1”, tried his hand at the tribal characters from Ace
Ventura 2, “When nature calls”. The little terror in the handmade basket
is Tommy Davidson’s character that Ace Ventura does battle with. Each
accessory is handmade from clay epoxy and painted with acrylics. These characters were made for the latest CTU trade. I reckon that Scott Kinnebrew (Forcess of Dorkness) will be very happy with this set!

Valerie G shares with us this sweet custom set she did for the Toy Invaderz show which is currently running in Chicago, IL. Valerie used a Skumbo figure as a platform for the main character, and several self-produced little monsters for him to hunt! A great set! You can check out Valerie's page on our site, and also be sure to check the page on our site where we'll be selling the pieces from the Toy Invaderz show! We're going to start putting them up for sale soon.

So we have some of these Plastic City x Tristan Eaton DIY B-Bots in stock and we wanted to do something fun with them.... at the same time, I am experimenting with Facebook's new Offer feature. I have set up an Offer on Facebook that will allow the next 4 customers placing $50+ orders of DIY toys in our DIY section to claim the free DIY B-Bot. Having no idea how this process actually works, I'm gonna just take a stab at it and instruct any interested customizers to go to our Tenacious Toys Facebook page and find that offer and click on Get Offer. The Offer post should be pinned to the top of the page there. After that, I suppose you follow the instructions in the offer in order to claim the prize.
If you don't use Facebook (the horror!!!), just place your $50 order in our DIY section and I'll throw in the B-Bot when I ship.

Dave Webb (Davemarkart) has blessed our shop with another sick custom. Want Some of This... Bitch?! is based on an 8-inch DIY Toyer Qee by Toy2R. Heavy sculpting and bright paint makes this one really eye-catching! Dave is really progressing with his work... each piece is more sculptural and fully-formed than the last. See more pics and buy it here.

Recently sent a package of Monster Kolor paint to Brian Ahlbeck of Dead Hand Toys... and sure enough, a week or so later we see these images popping up on his Facebook feed! Brian's resin sculpts are already really interesting and fun. He's got a dedicated group of collectors, and I'm a huge fan myself. But this recent addition of the deep, metallic, vibrant Monster Kolor paint in my opinion adds a new dimension of cool to his pieces. Great work. Looks like you'll be able to pick some of these up at the Dragatomi SDCC booth #4935.
Full disclosure: I am now repping Monster Kolor paint on behalf of Apex. That means I will be stocking the paint in our shop soon, and it also means other shops and retailers may order wholesale through me by emailing me at my Apex email address.
