Custom Cronic Maverasu

4940381741_1459e6039f_b

Cronic seems to be taking a hiatus lately. Which is too bad because he has a loyal following. But when one-offs like this custom Maverasu appear, it gives hope that he's still making toys. spied on super collectorjcat's flickr. What makes this toy is the intricate headress. It blends perfectly with the rest of the sculpt. Beautiful photography as well..!

3A Bambaboss AT/AT Driver Custom by grphka

AT3A

awesome Bambaboss custom by artist GRPHKA aka Ryan Vulk. Looking forward to seeing the finished work.

If you haven’t guessed it yet, this is Ashley Woods 3A Bamabaland Anniversary figure, combined with an AT/AT Driver from Star Wars, to form my 1st custom named AT/3A. This is just in its primed state, but I thought it looked in good enough shape to throw out there. Still have to clean it up a bit and smooth it down in some spots, maybe over the Labor Day weekend I can get this finished off with a nice paint job.

OsiRisORion for Red Carpet Kaiju Show at TAG

Dark Oil Slick Shuttlegon 01

OsiRisORion Custom Kaiju for the Red Carpet Kaiju Show at the Toy Art Gallery. I like his use of metallics with these toys. I also like that he's not painting those weird lines on his toys anymore too.

Jay 222 Customizes Kaiju

Jay222 does Kaiju

Artist Jay222 is a super nice guy. I met him recently at the Toxic Catalyst Show. But you really wouldn't know it by looking at his art. You might think he's one demented mother fucker. I traded him a custom RealxHead figure for some toys and he came up with this. He likes to take one figure and create two custom toys out of them. Really interesting gimmick. Usually he will take the head and make a body for it. Then make a head for the remaining body. The idea behind the RealxHead set is that it's a Prom Date with a Chaperone. "A prom date monster gone bad" I would hate to see the rest of this hellish prom.

Thanks to Datadub, we get to see some of the more interesting Summer "micro releases" from Shinto Gangu. I'm liking the colorways a lot. especially the metallics. Mori has been pimping a few on a daily basis for the guys that pop in.

With sales slow in Japan, I always thought this made a lot of sense: Sell directly to your buyers in the US.

Toxic Catalyst Show Recap...!!

Toxic Catalyst Show
Toxic Catalyst Show
Tattoo Royale Guf and Milton. MonstreHero Cliff with Skinner (not necessarily named after the artist Skinner, but more of a X-Files thing) and if you understood any of that, you're a nerd.

The Toxic Catalyst Show was Saturday night. Curated by the Resin Power Duo MonstreHero and hosted at our very own Super7. I was really blown away by the volume and variety of amazing resin pieces. Although many would consider these "garage toys" and i'm sure most of them were made amongst toxic clouds in their garage, the level of detail and artistry puts these figures on the same level as anything i've seen. If you haven't guessed, resin has arrived.
