*EXCLUSIVE* Project Detonate's "Poison Sweet" OG Paint Master Accessory...

We originally posted some exclusive shots Project Detonate's prototype HERE (also pictured on the left) for his upcoming vinyl figure being produced by Happy Panda Toys, and now we are getting an exclusive sneak peek at this figures accessory! Above is the paint master for the OG Poison Sweet figure, and it appears to be a delicious yet menacing cupcake hence the name "Poison Sweet" :-) Now if the figure is 6" tall I can imagine the accessory being at least half the size, if not smaller so this is going to be pretty tiny, and for how small it is the detail looks great... stay tuned for more exclusive pics!

Custom 10" Teddy Troop from Rsin

Rsin continues to wow us all with his amazing customs. He made this rad Teddy Troop for a fellow KidRobot forum boardie to go in their kids nursery/bed room... LUCKY kid!!!! Rsin says that he "Wasn't given anything specific to do, except make it kinda panda in the whisper style. I wanted to use bright colors and also make it a bit shinny, both things I know young children are drawn too." So he took that direction and ran with it and sculpted out the face, stomach, and added some wicked looking ears then he added his patented whisper face to both the helmet and the face. The colors that Rsin uses really make the figures pop... and each one he completes they get tighter and tighter... amazing! Hit up his Flickr HERE for more pics including a dope 20" custom Van Orlax!!!

New Custom Bramble by Muffin Man

Do you know the muffin man? And don't you know his name? If you don't then that's ok because you will now. This little gem dropped earlier this week and blew the folks away on the 3A forum. The custom was created by Muffinman a great guy from Germany. With a nod to Warhol no doubt this custom clamshell's soup bramble is really just a sight to behold. With the body lengthened to provide a more can looking appearance and custom paint and graphics it really drives home the theme. No detail was left out of this great custom. So now I guess we all know the Muffin Man and I hope we get to see more from him soon. Expect updates as time goes on...

3A dropping bombs. Update on sale now!!!

With today's release of Little Shadow, the latest figure in the Adventure Kartel line coming quickly upon us, Ashley has dropped another bomb on us and no I'm not speaking of the uber cool skull bomb accessory that comes with the Little Shadow. Instead, I speak of the very limited Cherry Shadow and Sanakhete 2 pack. Included in this set is a special rare version of the little shadow complete with skirt, sneakers, heels, Cleopatra fist hand and a a Sanakhete Zombot. For those that may not remember Zombot was a special rare release in the Boiler Zombie drop last year. The most limited of all 3A toys with just 10 worldwide. 8 of which were put in as random chase figures in regular Boiler Zombie packages. and the last 2 going to auction for charity. No word on drop time for this very special 2 pack. As always with 3A limited sets this will be unannounced and more than likely dropped in small numbers off and on through out the next few days, or maybe all at once in a quick shot. Who knows? That's the excitement of 3A... Price for this set is $150 and will be found at Bambaland!

Bic Buddy Custom BLOWOUT: MAD

Artist: MAD
Title: Modern Hero
Platform: Bic Buddy
Medium: Acrylic paints, gold chain, and a shiny grill :-)

MAD handles his custom 8" Bic Buddy with a very familiar look... his Modern Hero character that he brands on almost every platform. This piece has all the characteristics that we have all come to know and love, the big deep sunk in eyes, the gold grill, nice gray buttoned trousers and how can you miss the "Big Money" necklace proudly displayed around his neck! I don't think I could ever grow old of this character... and I am sure I am not the only one, great work man! Go see this piece in person at Crewest Gallery in Los Angeles on March 27th, 2010 and then at Zakka in New York on April 9th, 2010!
