I was fortunate enough to run across some awesome custom resin figures while browsing my twitter feed.
Kel Wilson aka
kel7alpha on
twitter has been posting alot of his progress as he makes his own line of custom resin figures. He says that he has been doing customs for a few years now but they have mostly all been Stikfas(Check out all of his awesome custom Stikfas
HERE), but that well is drying up so he tried a bit of vinyl here and there, until a friend "accidentally"(how does this happen?) introduced him to resin casting. and long story short here are the results.
His mold making processHe says that he is now working on a four part group of figures called Keliens (pun intended, heheh) two male, a female and a robot. His intentions for this are to make these for a DIY type figure that blends vinyl and action figures into one.
I am really diggin the shape of these, and that there are going to be 4 in the series is really cool. I like seeing artist take what they know and make something of it...really great to see all the resing being made out there as well, more and more are showing up every day it seems like, and this seems to be a part of the resin revolution! Stay tuned for more updates on this awesome series of figures!

Alright so
BIC Plastics is teasing us once again, and really making us work to figure out what their next project will be. The original teaser is posted with the Green BICS lettering, and then posted below with the Red BICS lettering is their most recent...except the gave it to us backwards and upside down, but with a little flip and jostle...the reveal!(Click pic to make bigger!)
Check out all the artists involved in this project:
MAD, Marka27, Brandt Peters, Kathie Olivas, Cope2, kaNO, Jesse Hernandez, Scribe, Andrew Bell, Sket, Indie84, Angry Woebots
What do they have up their sleeve this time, I guess we will just have to wait and see. We can still speculate though, maybe a mini-figure series like
Vivisect Playset, or it could be a new platform toy and BIC signed up all these artist to do designs on them...like I said earlier time will tell, but in the meantime what do you all think?
