MONSTER WORSHIP x FIG-X x Johnny Ryan Cannibal Fuckface Toxic Sludge ver????

Whoa..! datadub just posted up this insane new colorway for MONSTER WORSHIP x Johnny Ryan Cannibal Fuckface. Toxic Sludge ver? wtf? digging the green, and purple.

RealxHead x SKULL TOYS Dokurocks Man

If you could only have one of these Dokurocks Men, my vote would be the Walder Colorway. Hopefully I get this right: collaboration between RealxHead x SKULL TOYS. Mirock sculpted the head and Fig-Lab produced this colorway. Dreams do come true.

Check out Don aka datadub striking the pose on Kaneda's bike at the GENGATEN Exhibit: The Art of Otomo Katsuhiro. I think Don would do well in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. He certainly has the facial hair for it.

The Final Battle: All Stars versus the End of Time

This years GFS is once again proudly hosted by Onell Design & Rawshark Studios.

RealxHead Chaos Troopers Invasion..!!!!!

It's a crazy backwards on itself homage...! When Matt Doughty created the Chaos Invasion Custom Corps, he was paying homage to RealxHead Mutant Chaos figure in minature Glyos form. Now Mori is making full size vinyl figures paying homage to the Chaos Invasion Custom Corps. Crazy..! Like Inception with Toys..! Thanks Matt, Mori, Don...!

The most exciting figure released from Real x Head this year is hands-down the Chaos Trooper. Inspired by figures from the ground-breaking CHAOS INVASION Custom Corps by Matt Doughty of Onell Design, the figure incorporates many Glyos inspired references in the sculpt.

While Mori has been "working the mold" pretty hard with a slew of Micro-releases in Japan, the time has now come for an On-Demand release of the Chaos Trooper from RealxHead U.S.A. Once again the pre-order will be open for 1 week starting at 9pm PST July 10 and closing at 9pm July 17. This time around the figures will be priced to include shipping and will ship worldwide directly from Japan. More details to come tomorrow evening.

To celebrate the world-wide Chaos Trooper Invasion, we asked Wunderkind illustrator Ralph Niese to create this special work of art for us. Looks like the cover of a very cool comic.

Video Interview with MONSTREHERO at SDCC 2010...!!

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).
