Fully Visual X MAD • Mini Metal MAD*l's


Posted HERE earlier this week, our speculations were correct and this is a confirmed collab with metal masters Fully Visual X MAD! These are so SICK, and seeing the pics makes me want every single colorway which are Sliver Antique, Gold, Black Nickel, Copper and Brass! MAD says that these stand about 2.5" tall and are going to be extremely limited, some as low as only 50pcs, and there is no word on price or release date, but keep your eyes on the FV site as well as VPEast as MAD posts there every so often!

M. G. Litan aka pottstarr just sent over some pics and video of her latest custom. She dabbles in holes and lights and for this rad custom she used a Mega Munny for her platform and proceeded to drill holes in an awesome pattern, then installed an LED inside, and for this one, she used a really cool 16-color remote controlled LED with multiple effects. This turned out great, and if you would like to see more customs, hit up her Flickr HERE! Keep em' coming Mary, fantastic work!

"Sad Dragon" Prototype by VISEone


VISEone of Patch Together passed over some exclusive pics of his upcoming release "The Sad Dragon" which has now been prototyped and is up for colorway configurations! The dragon was made from VISEone's illustration "Sad Dragon" (Original sketch by his friend Ralph Ferres www.rfmi.de). He goes on to say that "The dragon is an hommage to ELLIOTT (PETE'S DRAGON by Disney) which we loved when we were kids and still love to watch from time to time. The dragon is able to change his color and make himself invisible which we are also showing in our colorways - so be prepared for some surprising colorways!"

One cool thing about Patch Together is they keep retailers in mind and they are going to be offering up some colorways exclusively to stores worldwide - more info and preorders hit up VISEone via email at viseone@patchtogether.eu , and keep your eyes peeled because they plan on revealing the final colorways soon.

Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #79

Stefan is a super talented artist, and a super cool guy to boot! You can now follow all of his updates via his Twitter profile HERE, not on Twitter yet? Get a move on!

From Stefan's Blog:

As for Monster 79: Monster 79 is a good boy! "Who's a good boy? You're a good boy! Oh yes you are! Oh yes you are!" He's a happy-go-lucky little scamp, this one. What do you think his name is? And who's his owner? What kind of games do they play when they go to the park? Does 79 fetch the ball? Does he catch frisbees? Or does he operate on a different order of magnitude? I hope you'll tell us! Hair of the dog, folks!

Slander Snake by Joe Ledbetter


"Slander Snake, he slithers around.
Sometimes in the house, sometimes on the ground.
Be careful much, if you're a mouse.
Or inside his tummy might soon be your house!"

Slander Snake created by Joe Ledbetter produced by Play Imaginative stands at 4-inch, and is poised ready to strike for his next meal. He comes in 4 different colorways, each in a different limited run quantity. And if you were to catch Slander and 'dissect' him, you'll find a helpless little mouse housed in his belly, partially digested. This is a really cool figure, and I really dig that this piece breaks in half exposing the pink insides of the snake and his helpless victim!
