toybot studios for "It Came From Skullbrain" Custom Toy Show

Finally finished with my entries for the "It Came From Skullbrain" Imagery of Japanese Toys Show at Super 7 this Saturday, April 18th at 7pm.

Zombie Troopers
I collect Toygraph Space Troopers and have wanted to customize a pair for a long time. I love gimicks and cutting parts out of the trooper and sticking a skeleton inside seemed like a cool idea. If the Skeleton looks familiar, its cause they are the same ones that Le Merde used for his Halloween Burger Buns. Thanks for the hook-up Mike! So they are supposed to be Zombie Troopers in a nuclear aftermath. Their space suits are melting away to show the skeleton zombie inside. I used a BIC lighter to melt and char the edges of the openings.

Psychadelia Rangeas
This is a Tim Biskup x T9G Rangeas. It started out in clear pink. I wanted to replicate the colorway of this custom Rangeas I painted last year. Although they both started on clear pink vinyl, I think they look very different. Weird...

Rumble Tank
The Rumble Tank is a Charatics x Gargamel tank and I replaced the Deathra with a Rumble Monsters Mini 13. The Mini 13 is a preview to a new collaboration between toybot studios and Rumble Monsters. I thought it would be fun to make a remote controlled tank so I stuck the frame of a small RC car into the body of the tank. Check out the video below!

Kirkland, that rumble tank is absolutely astounding. Just the perfect blend of style, function and application. Amazing.
