Alright now were talking Kidrobot!!! I don't get to overly excited about mini-figures anymore but after seeing the sneak peeks on
Nathan's twitter about an upcoming line (
posted about em' HERE) I got super pumped and now
Kidrobot has just confirmed that the Scary Girl adventure continues with
Nathan Jurevicius’ latest mini series.
All 9 Swamp Folk, plus the two chases, come blind boxed with accessories and an insert that tells their twisted tales. Each 3-inch figure retails for $9.95 and is available at local and online vinyl retailers! These look so amazing, and I am sure a ton of people are super stoked for this release!

So... sometimes it is really tough to decipher emails because of language barriers, and this being o

ne of those cases I will try and put out the best info possible. From what I understand is that "
Venusdea" is a "art pop" label by
Barbara Canepa and according to Gaetan of
BFLV they have a new art toy release scheduled for a November 2009! Click on the images to make larger, but you can tell from the image on the left this is some type of "Cat" figure with a tail... intreguing! Not quite sure other than that if this piece is going to be vinyl or resin or the size or price! Hopefully those details tide you all over enough until I get more concrete info to post at a later date!

kaNO's shipment of A/P Bic Buddy's came in and to his surprise they made two chases out of his design for series one. All three designs glow in the dark (green) but the chases have a blue and red tint to the mask and details. This marks his first blind box series and he was very excited about the process, not to mention that
Bic and
Marka 27 did an awesome job at gathering up a nice melting pot of artist which represent the east and west coast to the fullest. kaNO loaded
the kaNO shop with Bic Buddy's so hit up the shop if you want to cut to the chase!

...well look no further! So do you like Steampunk themed anything... well I just got word about a new "Dok A" influenced novel (
a little vinyl reference never hurts) coming out very soon! The title of this novel is "

amidst of a twenty year war, weapons designer Thomas Riley is thrust onto the front lines when a risky alchemic experiment goes wrong, embedding a foreign soul into his wily assistant Cynthia Basset. Thomas and Cynthia are forced to join with murderous sky pirates in a deadly race to capture the only man that can undo the botched alchemy, their enemy counterpart weapons maker." Sound interesting enough for ya... FOR SURE!!!! The book release is going down on Friday, October 23rd, and the pre-release books from now until October 23rd have FREE SHIPPING.

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:
Monster 77 looks to be one bored creature. Mind you, it's hard to create much entertainment for your self without any apparent arms or hands. One wonders how this one got a job at all. Then again, perhaps he don't need no stinkin' hands. He does have alternative means of manipulating his environment. (Or should that be "frondipulating"?) Perhaps there is more going on here than meets the eye. Will you please take a look and let me know what you think?

Ray"Three"Robinson III is super excited to announce his limited edition run of resin pieces created by
Argonaut Resin! This piece is titled "Stick Up" and it turned out AMAZING!!! We saw some teaser images of this project
HERE and now to see the prototype it definitely lived up to all its hype! This piece is 8″ tall and made of solid resin and the best part is that is has bendable limbs. This means it’s FULLY MOVABLE!!! On top of that it comes with a money bag accessory.
Ray says that "
I don’t think anyone has seen a low run, custom, handmade, resin art toy like this to date. We are very excited to see this guy come together. Stay tuned for painted shot very soon." This is seriously awesome, and the fact that it has bendy arms really opens the doors to other resin creations in the future!
