Flatwoods Invasion Custom Toy Show Re-Cap

Pictures seem a little sparse on the Flatwoods Invasion Custom Toy Show from Phoenix Comic Con last weekend. Thanks to Azjpeg for the couple of shots from the show itself. I'm sure more to come and the leftover pieces online at killgraffiti.com soon.

killgraffiti x toybot studios feat. David Horvath for Flatwoods Invasion Show...!

Finally finished this piece for the killgraffiti Flatwoods Invasion Custom Show this weekend at the Phoenix Comic Con. The little Flatwoods figure was sent to the artists. At first, I was just going to stick it in the Horvath Flatwoods and have a Flatwood within a Flatwood. Then I got this idea to add limbs to the Horvath figure and make it a real monster. The limbs are from a Skuttle which seem to match the best. I struggled on how to position the little Flatwood inside larger one as I wanted it to be at the top so you could see it above the Horvath eyes. I then got the idea to cut out the front panel that makes up the hood of the Horvath Flatwood and that would be like the window so the little guy could see out. And finally, I decided to cut out part of the top of the head so the little guy could be almost driving the Horvath Flatwood. In the Sun, you can see the color changing flakes from Monster Kolor.

David Horvath's Unidentified Mysterious Animal Newborns!!!

David Horvath may have cornered the market with Ugly Dolls, but he and his wife Sun Min are about to make another killing with his new line of mini vinyl toys from Wonderwall. Called "Unidentified Mysterious Animals", this first series to be released at San Diego Comic Con in July are newborn versions of Horvath's Flatwoods, Chupacabra and Mothman vinyl toys. "Newborn" as in baby versions. How cute can you get? You know I dig mini figures and mini versions of vinyl toys I already collect is a major plus!! I want them all!!

UFO Crash Landing Confirmed: Horvath Flatwoods Sighted at Super 7!!!

Yesterday was Valentines Day at Super 7 and they released all around nice guy David Horvath's Flatwoods Monster produced in Japan by Wonderwall as part of their successful "Kaiju for Grown-Ups" series.

For whatever reason, I was never into the first two colorways of this figure. I'm not exactly sure why. I think the first one was green and red and the second one was all black.



Interestingly, the real Flatwoods Monster is stuff of legend dating back to the 50's in Braxton County, West Virginia where a fireball crashed into the area known as Flatwoods and out emerged a 10-foot tall alien with fiery red eyes!!



Years later, Japanese toy maker Marmit produced a few different vinyl versions of the Flatwoods Monster. My favorite has to be this clear version with blue spray. Amazing pictures by Paul Kaiju and Horseshoe!!





So Horvath's Flatwoods in an homage not only to the legend of the crashed-landed alien, but also to Marmit's original toy. Either way, these three colorways are amazing and have given me a whole new appreciation for this Alien-looking Nun!!
