This amazing figure is being produced by, once again, The Loyal Subjects!
The Wyger is packaged in a double sided window box featuring gold foil on the inside which doubles as a reflective mirror giving the packaged item multiple views. Also featured are Spot UV treatments against matte. A coveted collectible for all Sam Flores fans! There are only 500 produced of this specific colorway and you can pre-order one HERE right now for only $78.50! This is a really cool figure guaranteed to sell very well :-)

Artist Bigfoot video Interview from Dithers
"I just try and come up with some deep nature shit."
-Bigfoot
More interested in the primitive than the urban, Bigfoot's nature-oriented imagery and style developed in response to graffiti's emphasis on inner city life. His massive Sasquatch figures and forests depict a sense of freedom and respect for the natural world and, conversely, his disdain for industrialized overdevelopment. Bigfoot's work has been in exhibitions held in cities throughout the United States. He also co-founded the company I-Path with Matt Fields, serving as art director and designer. Watch the interview from "Dithers," available for the first time to the public for free, on Walrus TV.

Mark Nagata's Ultraman HQ on video!!!
Kirkland Jue of Toybot Studios had the awesome opportunity to take a tour of Max Toy Company's own Mark Nagata's Ultraman HQ... which is truly a sight to see! Kirkland was on site to capture all of this on video during his trip for the Kaiju Invades San Francisco Show featuring Sunguts, Dream Rocket, Dead Presidents and Max Toy Co held at Ningyoushi, and all those great artists had the distinct pleasure to visit mark's space as well! Seriously, this is a toy room that trumps most all collections and spans many generations of collectibles!

Each figure comes with different weapon and junk food removable Accessories (More combination avail. than pictured). Some accessories available in the Bad Brian collection include grenade launchers, katana swords, mini Gatling guns, shotguns & more! Each custom "Bad Brian" box is signed and numbered.
