More Kustoms from Paul Kaiju!!

One of the most amazing artists around, Paul Kaiju continues to astound us with his wondeful sense of color and design. Some of the shots below are more recent work and some are a bit older. It doesn't really matter since all of it is simply amazing! I envy all of the lucky owners of these pieces of art. I'm lucky enough to own a couple of Paul Kaiju Kustoms myself which I cherish!

More Wonderfestival 2007 Pics from Kaiju-Taro!!

The guys from Kaiju-Taro report back from Wonderfestival 2007 with more great shots of fantastic, un-obtainable toys from Japan!! Actually some toys are still available, but you will have to read on to get to that part! Above is a hand-painted Gargamel Desura pin-striped by Cronic!































Has this got you hungry for toys??!! Well, I wish I could say that all of these amazing toys above were for sale somewhere. I don't think they are. Well, the hand-painted Desura at the top is on sale on YJA for like $480!!!

RealxHead x Popsoda x Wonderfestival 2007!!

Last Friday, Josh over at Super 7 alerted us to keep an eye out Saturday morning...there was going to be some kind of RealxHead toy released. With Isaac, Brian and Hiro in Japan for Wonderfest, I was thinking it was probably new RxH stock, that we had all seen before, showing up at the store. Any really new stuff was still in Japan with the guys, and they prolly wouldn't release something completely new being out of town anyways. Well, much to my surprise and delight, not only did Super7 release a brand new RealxHead figure, it was a Wondefestival 2007 release in collaboration with Popsoda!!! It was like we got our own little bit of WF2007 right here in San Francisco!! Awesome!



What do you get when RealxHead collaborates with Popsoda? This amazing new sculp and story behind "The Incredible Drink Popsoda" Check out the comic that came with this new sick figure! Essentially this normal dude wearing this varsity jacket who Mori from RxH gives some of this "Incredible Drink Popsoda". He starts to feel weird and then gets splattered by a bus into this slimey mess which somehow turns him into this melting Popsoda monster!

Wonderfestival 2007 Report from LivingDead!!!

Mark aka LivingDead in Japan gives us a little glipse as to the madness that is Wonderfestival!!

Mark was on the first train to Wonderfestival, but he wasn't the first one in line. But he wasn't the last one in line either!

This was the line BEHIND him:



This was the line in FRONT of him (with thousands of other people you can't see!!)



10:00am, the line in front of him starts to move:



The last bridge to cross before the entrance:



The front door is within sight. I asked Mark how long he had to stand in line and he said that once the line got moving around 10am, he was in the door by 10:15am!! Amazing Japanese efficiency for ya!!




Rumble Monsters Piranha Mini Damnedron!! Mark said most the Rumble Monsters stuff was sold out by the time he got there...15 mins after the show started! Ouch!



Rumble Monsters Pharoahs in the M1-Go colorway. Sick!!



Rumble Monsters Scud-01 which Mark was lucky enough to snag the very last one!!



Awesome Charatics Tower:
