BIGSHOT TOYWORKS "As Cold As They Come" Pistol by Mark Dean Veca

First up, we're incredibly pleased to announce a new division of Bigshot focused entirely on fine art multiples. Bigshot Fine Art will be focusing on gallery-quality multiples, mostly produced for specific galleries and shows. And our first release under the BFA label is "As Cold As They Come", a cast pewter & chrome-plated replica of the painting by Mark Dean Veca. Created for Mark's 2009 show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery, the painting is Mark's interpretation of Michael Corleone's revolver from "The Godfather".

Limited to 100 pieces worldwide, this piece will retail for $300 and will be available direct from Bigshot in November 2010.

The masterminds behind 3A, Ash & Kim, decided to celebrate Toy Tokyo's 10th anniversary with this special WWRp Armstrong, just for SDCC 2010. You can see the 10Y (for 10 years) on the front as well as TT on the left arm shoulder joint, plus the Toy Tokyo logo on the back! Word is, that this is a very short run limited figure, and Toy Tokyo has decided to offer a majority of these special figures back to the 3A faithful! (which have already been offered and are spoken for). But, Toy Tokyo kept a few aside and will create a special lottery for 20 figures to be released in the Toy Tokyo anniversary 10's at SDCC. 10 will be offered on Thursday July 22 and 10 will be offered on friday July 23 for purchase, via a winning lottery number . Details of this lottery offering will be released on monday July 19. The WWRp ARMSTRONG will be priced at $79.00 (includes tax) and will be on display at booth 5437. Another powerful exclusive from Toy Tokyo!



Like something straight out of 'THAT GIRL' (hair wise that is), this new creation between ERIC SO and YONE (Yasumasu Yonehara) brings together the sculpting and design prowess of Mr. SO, and those fun frolickling female photos, Mr. Yone is known for. HORNY GIRL is her name and soft vinyl is her game. Standing around 7" tall, this mass of smooth curves and brown vinyl hair will see her first USA appearance during SDCC at the Toy Tokyo booth #5437. Priced at $60.00 and limited to 20 pieces. A knockout Papamamason project by good friends from Hong Kong and Tokyo!

Mike Sutfin Mad Battle Man "Dusk" Has Arrived

DUSK has arrived. Here it is, the first production colorway sample as approved by MR. SUTFIN himself. Pinch me, first a white prototype and now this fire-toned beauty, here on these premises, glaring back at the tripod. It's either a orange hued dream or a nightmarish inferno. Amazing, simply AMAZING Hey....WAIT....the MAD BATTLE MAN is stomping away...where is he heading...to SDCC already? No! No...it's those exploding colors in the sky that have caught his brainless attention. What, he's dragging my camera too. Oh no, this is too embarrassing...SUTFIN is going to plunge that mace in my forehead now, for sure.

Mike Sutfin x Reckless Toys Mad Battle Man Prototype...!!

With the fury that is SDCC upon us soon, thoughts travel back to last year's epic SDCC unveiling of Mike Sutfin's MAD BATTLE MAN figure, which at the time was still in progress and cast in polycarbonate. Then, it was only a short time ago at WonderCon, that I was sworn to secrecy. That is, since I was one of the lucky ones (there were 5 people total!) to get a hands-on glance and drool over the first WHITE prototype! We're talking a real PROTOTYPE here....the first vinyl pull from the newly minted MAD BATTLE MAN mold. Ah, the elixir that vinyl & steel aroma holds for the sinuses of this vinyl junkie.



To start, the detail is incredible, standing 9" tall with long gangly arms and oh, those teeth, sharp and protruding from that mace crushed skull! Although the kneeling position is unconventional, I think it's different and will look awesome when you have 6 or 7 of these Mad Battle Men in different colorways lined up next to each other on your shelf...! One of my favorite new additions since last year would have to be the fiery torch accessory in the left hand. If you look closely, you can see a demonic face in the face... "Firestarrrrstaaaa!!!"



Mike was kind enough to entrust me with taking a few snaps of this pearly white vinyl beast. Hopefully soon, in these hands, and in front of my camera lens, will be the Sutfin created SDCC 2010 exclusive 'Dusk' colorway, which is so limited, heads will be spinning...and not from some spikey, battle axed, blood drenched neck wound. The anticipation is at a feverous level, even with the white one in my grasp, just can't wait to see this vinyl battle beast in color...driving me MAD! Then again mike, hint hint.....when is the PURPLE/BLUE version coming out?!!



Mad Battle Man is produced by the awesome dudes at Reckless Toys with help from the other awesome dudes at Big Shot Toyworks who did the "sculpting" from Mike's initial drawing completely on a 3D modeling program.

Bertie ( Desert Combat and Dirt Deeds ) the first WWR figure will be available in April ( cannot say an exact date ) , a limited edition Bertie will also be available from the New York Comic Con (April 18-20th). Pricing info soon.

I think a special mention has to made about the awesome sculpting of Scott Wetterschneider of Bigshot Toyworks, Scott did a awesome job on Bertie and the weapons, just check out the Tools of the Trade image for example. Also admire painting skills of threeZero, they are second to none.



Some shots of some Bertie's hanging out in my studio...



Lastly some shots of prototype packaging...



I'm looking at these guys and know they are humongous. I'm wondering how stable they are. they have a base, but these teeny tiny little legs on which to sustain a huge amount of weight....??

Ashley Woods World War Robot New Pics!!

Some new pics from Ashley Wood X Big Shot Toyworks World War Robot aka Bertie. I am super excited about this guy. I'm ready to just send Klim at Big Shot Toyworks a wad of cash for these two guys. Look at these pics? If they can get the paint to look as weathered and detailed as this, were in for a serious hit. I've seen pictures of these guys to give a sense of scale and they are HUGE! They are not 12" inches tall. Much bigger. At between $250-$300 each, they are not cheap either. But with 47 (there abouts) points of articulation, were talking a serious toy here. Klim mentioned that the hand gun picture below is 4" inches long. Think about that. That's almost the size of real (albeit tiny) hand gun!!! Look for them at the New York Comic Con in April.
