One of the most stunning custom Mascots that I have seen to date. This style suits this 7 inch Mascot pretty well. Great work JFury!

Jon Malmstedt is getting ready to move back to Tokyo! I the meantime, he sends this message:
"What is happening in Tokyo now is a most excellent toy/model festival called "Wonderfestival" - on the 29th of this month. I'll be bringing along a batch of painted orange dinos, some Manotaurs and some RAMPAGE x GRUMBLE toy collaborative awesomeness! You can find me on a corner of a table along with Shirahama, Grody and Velocitron."

I've kept this toy series a secret for a LONG time. Saw these items at a trade show in NYC last year. Spazzed out, placed an order on the spot, but agreed not to post images or info until they were ready... so... finally, here they are! The Jason Freeny x CAPSL blind-box series!
These are about 2 inches tall each, and they unscrew in the middle and can be recombined with each other. The insides are hollow so you can carry stuff in them. They're also keychains. Incredibly useful and fun to fiddle with! Our order is shipping to us this week. I'll post a link to our site once they're in stock. Not sure of price (it'll be fairly low) or quantity per case but I'm assuming I'll sell out fast! Check Jason's blog post here.

It's called "What A Day For A Daydream". Complete with real boots, clothes, axe, chopped wood, chest/arm hair, and other Canadian-ness. An amazing piece by Pause. This is an 8 inch Dunny.

Well, I went and did it. I made my first custom toy!
Alison Perez invited me to be a part of her upcoming Zukie vs the World custom show (opening at Toy Tokyo Underground, July 27th from 6-10pm) and I of course accepted! I've been knee-deep in custom toys for a few years now, watching artists rise up through the ranks and get famous. It's rad. I love seeing all the artists gain success, notoriety and sometimes, when they are SUPER lucky, they get to make their artwork a full-time pursuit! But...
I've never made a custom toy myself. At least not a designer toy. When I was young I used to make static models a lot. Mostly cars, but sometimes planes or tanks or the Space Shuttle... later I graduated to R/C cars, still painting the Lexan bodies myself.... but I've never created a custom toy before.
So... to start myself off, I went back to what I know best: static models. I bought a dragster kit which had a nice-sized supercharged V8 engine, and built the engine. Some of you might have followed along on Instagram when I did that (if ya wanna follow me, I'm "tenacioustoys" on Instagram).
After I had the engine built, I got in touch with Monster Kolor and picked up some paint. I invited Kris Dulfer over to hang on my roof and show me what's what... and when he got here I hacked up this Zukie's head and built a mount for the motor.
Then I got to spraying: Monster Kolor aerosols the whole way: base coat of silver, on top of that I layered C-Thru Red, and to finish it off, several coats of Gloss (aka clear coat). I've never used the paint before, and I have to say it worked perfectly. The Gloss top coat dried perfectly. Not sticky in the slightest! I highly recommend Monster Kolor aerosol, and in fact you can buy it from my shop here. Actually, you can buy Zukies in my shop as well.
It's really not the most complex custom toy I've ever seen, but it was damn fun making it and I'm proud of my first attempt! I feel a little better now that I'm part of the customizing community, as opposed to some outsider just writing about the customs and selling them. Most of my friends would probably consider me an insider already, but to be a real insider, you need to take part. Now I'm in! And I'll see you at Toy Tokyo on Friday!
Huge thanks to Alison Perez for inviting me to be in this show, to Matt Walker for providing Monster Kolor paint, and to Kris Dulfer for showing me how to do the chopping, sanding and painting!

While this item was never intended specifically to be a Tenacious Toys Exclusive, it is right now. This 2.5-inch blank white vinyl DIY platform is a mini version of Dudebox's popular new 7" DIY Dude. Obviously, this character is their mascot. Dudebox has 2 blind-boxed mini figure series (Big Bang and Super Amazing Spectacular) that utilize this 2.5-inch platform as one of the 3 shapes available in each of those series. And, of course, they had some blank Mini Dudes produced as well, apparently for use in some projects down the road. As such, they never really marketed the 2.5-inch DIY Mini Dudes, nor did they offer them to retailers. That didn't deter me, though. I asked about these platforms and Dudebox, surprisingly, agreed to sell me some! After the fact, when the shipment was already en route, they told me that Tenacious Toys will be the only retailer that will have these items! Now, it's possible that other retailers will catch on, and ask to buy some. I'd be surprised if they didn't, after seeing that Tenacious is the only shop with them... but right now, at this moment, Tenacious Toys is the only place to get them!
We'll be ordering more different Dudebox products in the near future. For now, you can buy the big 7" DIY Dudes and the mini figure series directly from Dudebox.
