EMILIO GARCIA - JUMPING BRAIN
This has been posted before, but some updates have occurred since the last time! I really dig these figures, and I am looking forward to more!
From the Vinyl Pulse website:
Spanish web designer and toy collector Emilio Garcia's Jumping Brain by Lapolab is just fun to stare at... Simple yet nice details on the undulating gray matter. It's 3" of 'high-definition resin'. Jumping Brain is still in production (protos shown above) but should be available soon in signed and numbered, limited-edition releases. No word yet on whether it will only be sold as an RGB set or individually as well.. Where's the CMYK ? Check out the thread on solosontoys.com for more pics. Also if you want the very latest scoop, sign up for his mailing list from his site.These figures look great, looking forward to see what artist come up with on the DIY version which are expected to be releasing after the summer holidays. The individual prices will be between 30-40 € for all the mailing list members. Pics from the Vinyl Toy Freaks forum!



HUCK GEE - THE GOLDEN CLAW
Coming this Friday, 08/08/08 at 8am PDT, Huck takes a big flying leap back to his Gold Life series. The first of 2 new Gold Life sets coming this month (along with a new print). We present to you The Golden Claw. His reputation precedes him, ruthless determination, unstoppable force, his motives remain a mystery; sword for hire or is his pursuit of Raku a personal vendetta? Either way, watch your step... 10 custom hand painted Dunnys. Each is signed, numbered, gold embossed and comes with shown accessories. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure. 10 figures in this set, $800 per figure.

Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #179
From Stefan's Blog:
179 seems happy. I like that. Why do you think he's in such fine spirits? And what glorious teeth he's got! Is that the result of good dental hygiene, or did his agent tell him to get his real teeth capped? I hope you'll share your theories and...
