This is some serious unfortunate news coming to us from
Lulubell Toy Bodega... their shop was broken into, there are no leads as of yet to who/why anyone would do such a thing but I will let Amy explain what happened "
On Sunday or Monday March 8th in the wee hours of the morning some as**ole was nice enough to throw a rock through our window & steal what they could grab in kaiju before the cops showed up. Lulubell is 2 people - 2 lives who give their all to enrich Tucson's art community. What was taken is very easily identifiable." Please
CLICK THROUGH for pictures of what was stolen and if you have any information, please contact Amy at 520-622-5858 or amy@lulubelltoys.com. Please help out if you can, just put yourself in their shoes... this sucks!

Teimaru, a French customizer, and a good one at that just sent over some very cool pictures of his two latest customs. These 2 Koibitos titled "The Guardian" (right
) , and "The Abyssus" (left) are very well put together customs, and I love how it almost seems like this is how they came out of the box, they seem like production pieces IMHO! I asked Teimaru how he comes up with his customs, and what his process is, and this is what he had to say: "
First, I put the Koibito's on my desk, and look at them for a long time, traveling in my mind, searching for what these toys "tells me", inspire me, and how i'll transfer that into the custom i'll create.... In the case of the Koibitos, it told me about a Warrior, sacred, tribal way." Teimaru uses acrylic paint, rope, jute, and some other miscellaneous things to put the finishing touches on each custom! If you would like to see more picture please visit his Flickr
HERE... and keep on the lookout for a custom
Dunny "Addicted" series coming out soon from Teimaru!

Like mentioned earlier... April is the month of
Visell and Kidrobot is now announcing a pretty sweet little mini-series featuring a ton of mythical creatures from Amanda's universe! this series titled "Tic Toc Apocalypse" is set to release on April 1st, 2010 and will contain 14 characters in the set. They will retail for $9.95 a piece and just by looking at the pictures above, Amanda's style transferred over so well to these figures, I can almost guarantee they will be a hit. I am really diggin on the Bat, and the Poopicorn figure... classic! I personally think
Kidrobot did well on these, what do you all think? (
Note: Figures above are not scaled to size)

Jon-Paul Kaiser continues to wow us with his amazing monochromatic line work accented with splashes of color here an there on this 3.5" custom Teddy troop that he based off the celebrated portly pilot "
Porkins" from Star Wars IV: A New Hope. I could honestly sit and look at customs by Jon-Paul all day long, examining the negative space that he creates by outlining shapes with black, it's such a fantastic technique... keep em' coming good sir!

MissMonster does it once again with another slammin shirt. Here art is so distinguishable, so clean, ad just rocks all around and the fact that this is only $9... COME ON!!!!
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!
