Josh f+ Pearce passed on some great info about his upcoming solo show at
Red Hot Robot, which is coming up in a week starting on November 13th - December 13! Josh sent along a sneak peek at a few of his pieces for this show. Josh says that the pics don't do it justice, and that these are some of his most detailed pieces yet! The entire show is focused on this world of mythos and Majik he has created. There will be many new custom vinyls, paintings, and a very exciting print release (
if all goes according to plan). I am looking forward to the full reveal of these pieces, Josh is really making a name for himself in the custom toy field and I think this show just might push him over the top!

Shawn Zindroski of SNL Creative has developed and application where you can design and create your own custom designer toy. This site called
Karbon Kids and it is really fun, and the best part is that at the end of the experience the user can choose to get it produced in a 1 off prototype using 3d printing for only $50 colored or $25 DIY. Please check out the site and
create some characters, and let me know your thoughts. In the meantime I am going to try and find more out about the figures, what they are produced from and how large they are!
After some research we have come to find out that the characters are 3" tall, and the Characters are made from a 3d printer and the material is similar to rigid plastic... interesting... someone get one and let me know how it looks!

Spencer from
Rotobox Vinyl just released his latest and greatest custom. This rad figure is part of their Ganmetall Celsius Tribute and this is the 3rd series in the set. This custom is based on the title character in the classic game "Ninja Gaiden" aka Ryu Hayabusa. This is 1 of 2 characters for their series 3, hopefully the other one will be finished next week. Rotobox's series 2 had some delays so they released this series first. You can snag one of these if you are fast right now
HERE from thier online store, but like mentioned before, something this sweet and this limited will go super fast, so don't sleep on it!

Was clicking through
COLLECT3D and ran across this rad post about a street artist and designer by the name of Mach505 from
Truly Design showed off his toy series called "Robocabs" made of spraypaint nozzles and can covers. These RAD robots are painted with acrylic paint and are held together by glue and powerful magnets, which allow you to move the arms and heads of the robots. This is one of the most creative things I have seen and they look awesome... I would love one of these in my collection for sure!

Thump was created by artist and designer extraordinaire
GREGORY ST. AMAND (aka
SAINTKID) founder of STRONGBOY INC. Thump is his latest and greatest creation, a character that personifies the entire concept of STRONGBOY. Thump represents a core of innocence, conviction, fearlessness and clarity. Thump is based on the foundation of most martial arts concepts. Thump gives you the will to stand up and say "that's enough!" or the ability to say "Let's Do It!" He is the fighter inside us all, non-threatening, but tough as nails.
Thump is the hero in the little boy with great potential and dreams of unlimited achievements - be it to be the greatest fighter of all time like ALI or BRUCE LEE, becoming the greatest astronaut like ARMSTRONG or maybe someday to be a President or a king. Thump embodies the purity and attractiveness of real strength. He is everyone's really cute inner protector. Your own little tough guy. Suggested retail for this awesome DIY is around $56!

=27:fool’s just sent over some info about a new figure titled "
Mikustars Pup". These are created by
Double Line and produced and designed by
G999. We always get such random teasers from them... so intreguing, and we never really get any details about these figures partially because of a language barrier, but they do produce some rad figures, and as you can tell from the teaser above this one is going to have some detail! Stay tuned for more once we get the info!

Lost fans rejoice... well at least this can curb your appetite a little bit before the next season starts... is Juliet still alive at the bottom of the pit, did the bomb reset the past will Jack and Kate be back in love again... so many questions, buy the shirt!
TeeFury is an awesome website that sells T-shirts for $9 a pop...the only catch is that it is only on sale for 24hours and then the next T-shirt is posted up! I have seen awesome shirts by some amazing artists on here and the total purchase price is $11. So that is $9 for the Tee and $2 for the shipping...that is an awesome deal that can't be beat! I will try and post the shirts up daily, or you can go visit the
site yourself!
Money does go back to the artist and after today, this t-shirt will be Gone FOREVER! Today artist earns $1 for every tee sold. So make sure you get over there if yer diggin the design!

Cheap Toys Sculpt #10 - Thin Lynn
I thought I would mix things up a bit and shed a little light on a different side of Garbage Pail Kids. Sure, everyone is familiar with the stickers that were so popular throughout the late 80's, however what is not well known is that Garbage Pail Kids spawned a wonderful assortment of toys as well.
The most highly sought-after of those toys are the 'Cheap Toys'. These were a series of 10 figures cast in plastic and sold in small garbage bags. The bags contained one figure, a checklist and some candy - and were formally called 'Cheap Toys with Crummy Candy'.
I have an entire section of my site devoted to this wonderful - sometimes forgotten - piece of Garbage Pail Kids history...and you can visit it by clicking here.
Garbage Pail Kids is a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company, originally released in 1985, and designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. Click the image below to visit GEEPEEKAY.com for an in-depth look at the history of Garbage Pail Kids, including 1000's of images and detailed product descriptions.
