The end of an era has sadly come. Not only is Pilot Ace closing up shop, but the license for
Ray Harryhausen characters is nearing expiration. Harryhausen, who is most famous in the cinematic industry for his brand of stop-motion model animation, was responsible for much of the special effects magic seen in all your classic film fav's before the advent of digital special effects. Although he is probably best known for "Jason and the Argonauts", his talents have graced the spectrum of classic films from "War of the Worlds" & "It Came From Beneath the Sea", to "The Three Worlds of Gulliver" & "Mysterious Island".
Cyclops, which is rumored to be the final Ray Harryhausen figure produced, made his debut in "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". Cyclops was born from early concepts Harryhausen had for the creature Ymir from "20 Million Miles to Earth". You can find this limited edition
run of 50 Two Horn Version Cyclops now at
Lulubell Toys.

At this years Comic Con I had the pleasure to finally meet David Foox in person!
David Foox, is the designer of the awesome vinyl
Organ Donor dolls! He created these designer vinyl toys in order to bring awareness to the issue of organ donation. David had a great showing at Comic Con and he actually sold out of all his cases of figures. In the above video David talks to us about his vinyl
ORGAN DONORS, and he also shows us a sneak peek at his special Chinese Editions for the celebration of Chinese Independence Day.
There will be no pre-orders for these limited edition
ORGAN DONORS and they will only be available in China. Celebrating 60 years of the People’s Republic of China. “ONE HEART” is a super rare. This rare version is called "ONEHEART" and replaces "LIONHEART" from the US Edition of ORGAN DONORS. There is also a awesome shot of another super rare vinyl code-named “1949-2009 Forever” which is also being released at the same time as ONEHEART. Thanks for talking with us David you rock, and a huge thanks to fellow SpankyStokes corespondent
Chris Henderson for doing this interview!

Jason over at
Red Hot Robot is going to have a
HUGE event next week. He is
selling 95% of this personal collection - mainly narrowing focus and also to make up for slow economy, but not getting out of the game by any means, just cleaning house, which is a great idea and is something I need to do as well!
Red Hot Robot will have on hand a wide variety of items from this collection including customs, signed figures, one offs and hard-to-find pieces. Items include
KAWS, Baseman, Biskup, Horvath, Dunny, Luke Chueh, MAD, UNKL and many, many others. Over 100 figures. Also some prints. This is going down on August 22 at 11am in store, and at 1pm online!

Jon Paul Kaiser posted up a couple of shots of his custom
Robolucha for the upcoming
Patchtogether tour! He's a Riot Cop, dressed up in full riot gear, he's more contemporary than Jon Paul's usual fare, but still has a similar undercurrent of violence, though this time backed up by the full menace of the law! It is awesome to me that Jon Paul does not use any sculpting material, yet he totally transforms a platform using his talent with a paint brush, well done sir!
