L'amour Supreme Custom Yamazakura..!!

I managed to score this sick custom Yamazakura from L'amour Supreme at SDCC 2010. One of my prized pick-ups from SDCC... Another insane example of this man's talents. If this guy jumped off the pages of a comic book and landed on your desk, this is what it would look like. Thanks Joel..!

The Crossover at the Global Figure Symposium SDCC 2010

One of my only pictures of Don...

I think one of the most interesting events this year was the tiny booth that seemed to hold a small army of artist and toy makers. Spearheaded by Matt Doughty of Onell Design and Datadub of Fig-Lab, this year's Crossover event for the Global Figure Symposium was the hot ticket. I'm guessing around 20-25 artists from both the US and Japan were represented. Every couple of hours, the table was cleared and another artist would put up their wares. I found myself going back to this booth over and over (as evidenced by the last six posts showing other artists sharing this booth).

L'amour Supreme at SDCC 2010...!!

Custom Yamazakura

L'amour Supreme is going to be everywhere this year at SDCC. He's got a signing with Super 7, he's hanging out at the Global Figure Symposium, lounging around with Greg and the MISHKA crew and probably wreaking havoc over at Toy Tokyo. The better question is where L'amour Supreme won't be?

Collaboration with NERD ONE


Custom RealxHead


Custom Mongolions of course. Is that Ivory? WTF

Toys of Week Episode 5: Yamazakura, Gargamel, Cure, Panzer Ace

Yamazakura is one of my favorite new toy lines. I love the two sculps and the paint applications are amazing. I like the different rub techniques employed. They are the perfect size too. Just around 5" inches tall. The first sculp has a half face / half skull head and body. The second sculp has a new Oni / Serpent head. Many thanks to Amy and Luke over at Lulubell Toys for constantly feeding the beast within. Looking forward to new versions. Wouldn't mind seeing some clears in the mix. New head and body sculps also welcome.

A first for toybot studios, I only took one, single picture for each version. Partially due to laziness and time constraints, I thought it would be fun to try and only take one picture per toy.
