Heaven by Unkle


This might be one of the coolest videos I have ever seen...just wait for around the 2:00min mark, intense, here is some info about the video! 'Heaven' was used in the acclaimed skate film Fully Flared directed by Spike Jonze and Ty Evans. The collaboration inspired the directors to take footage and re-edit a sequence of shots that shows the Lakai skateboarding team demonstrating their considerable skills as they navigate through and around various exploding obstacles. With 'Heaven' as the musical backdrop, the resulting marriage of sound to picture is quite extraordinary.

Kathie Olivas 3' fiberglass Elizabeth


Oh my, look at the size of this piece of work!!! Kathie's work translates unbelievably into the large format, and in my opinion I wish she did many more large scale works. this 3' fiberglass sculpt of her Elizabeth figure is pristine in every aspect, and would be an unreal addition to anyone's collection. I have no other details on this piece, but once I find out more I will be glad to share, and until then grab a napkin and wipe the drool from your chin, hehehe.

Mr. Head Mini Mechtorian - New colorway


I got me an exclusive first look at an upcoming release by Doktor A. this appears to be a color variant of his recent Mr Head Mini Mechtorian figure that was released earlier this year by Mindstyle, which is a 3" - 4" tall, Vinyl toy. No other info on this except that Andy over at TRE and the Toycyte crew got diffrent pictures from Dok this morning as well, all shot in an industrial setting!

Here is some background info on this amazing character:
"Philosopher and thinker extraordinaire. Responsible for the big ideas in Retropolis. Advisor to royalty, big business and the lay-mech alike. His thoughts are wonderful, colorful and huge in scope. Though he is a tad forgetful and so makes endless reams of unintelligible notes on napkins and envelopes. Not a great dinner guest as he tends to mutter to himself constantly."
I am looking forward to seeing the other pieces in this set(which I hope there will be), and if they will all follow suite in this awesome looking color scheme. As soon as I get more info you will be the first to know, so keep checking back!
