NiceBunny's Wack & Blite Toys @ VTN via Pretty in Plastic


I have been following Brian Castleforte a.k.a NiceBunny's art for a while now, and have posted about it a while back here. I am really happy and pleased to find out that the vinyl form of his Wack+Blite toys are going to be release in an exclusive colorway...and by exclusive...I mean only 6 of them.

Below is a more detailed description from the Pretty in Plastic blog:
VTN is coming up in less than a month and I am super excited!! Vinyl Toy Network and will be taking place December 6-7 at the Pasadena Convention Center. We'll have a booth with some exclusive guests--Brian Castleforte a.k.a NiceBunny's Wack & Blite toys in a special colorway. We'll have six for sale, and they come with a print and special packaging, too.

And for those who didn't see Wack & Blite at Brian's Mobius show in June, be sure to check these out at our booth. I'm looking at one right now and photos don't do these guys justice.
Well it looks like this is something else I am going to try to get this VTN go around, I love the sculpt of this figure, it has so much attitude, and is so different from alot of the stuff out there!

Black Friday Erick Scarecrow - Muraida "Midnight Snack" colorway-vinyl figure


This November we celebrate the 3rd year of Esc-Toy's birth. Esc is a label that was founded by creator/designer Erick Scarecrow when he had lost his day job back in 2005. Since then it has not only helped produce collectibles for Erick's work but for other artists and companies. It has been a lot of hard work but we do not mind doing it because we believe in what we do and have fun with it.

We want to thank you for all your support. Our growth will continue into 2009 and beyond and we wouldn't be able to do this without you.

Thank you and now we'll offer something very special............

New from Erick Scarecrow's OSK series is Muraida. The ravaging muck of vinyl comes in at 10" with 6 points of articulation. The figure is packed in a window box and will be available *signed* by Erick Scarecrow at the Esc-Toy Ebay Shop on Black Friday starting 12 am EST for.........................$49.99! This is a limited stock offer and will be sold on a first come and first serve basis. Worldwide shipping is available. The Midnight snack-Black colorway is limited to 200pcs.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...look at this beauty, I am so going to try to get one of these...this figure is so slick. You can find out more about ESC Toys by clicking the links below.
