SpankyStokes.com was on hand once again to cover yet another amazing show... in fact we actually had a hand in curating this one so it's extra special. The Ganametal Celsius Custom Show at
Toy Art Gallery on 7/10/2010 was the first ever USA based Celsius show and we pulled out all the stops, Jonathan Ma of
Kuso Vinyl even flew Spencer Ong of
Rotobox Vinyl from the Philippines so that he could attend this event, not to mention all the other artists and fans involved that traveled a great distance to be there.

So not only were there some amazing customs but the gallery ended up being packed with people, the DJ was blasting music all night long, we even had a taco truck on site for some good eats. There was also a friendly wheat paste put up down the street to celebrate the opening of the show, and by the time the night was over the gallery had sold nearly half the customs!!!! That being said... there are still some available for purchase, so head on over
HERE now to check em out! This was such a blast, and I can't thanks all those involved enough... you know who you are and you all rock! Be sure to

Just spotted up on
VP is
Angry Woebots latest Panda King resin figure... the "
Nightmare" edition. This all black figure with red blood accents is
limited to 80 pieces and each one is hand painted by Woes! Unlike
the last version, which sported a gold crown, the new Nightmare edition is rocking a sleek looking silver crown that really complements the flat black figure! 40 of these will be up for grabs at SDCC via the Silent Stage booth, and for those that can’t make it, they will also release 40 online this Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 at 11am PDT from
Silentstagegallery.com. The Panda King Nightmare
will retail for $250, and if last release was any indication... these will go super fast so be on the ball!

Usually taking the organic approach the guys over at
=27:fool's and
Fool’s Paradise are setting loose yet another AMAZING General Zoo figure the
General Zoo "Fools Machine", and as you can see from the above picture this beast is going to be part machine, part man... or if you will a cyborg :-)and if the final piece looks anyhting like the above picture this thing is going to be nuts!!! I wonder if the machine part of the body will come in magnetic pieces
like the other General Zoo's. These will be limited to only 99 pieces worldwide and are set to drop on 7/15/2010 so be on the lookout as info will be posted when I get it!

Steam Crow just announced a really great exclusive that is going to make its premiere at this years SDCC 2010. These resin figures titled "Feratu Friends" stand at 5.6" tall, are hand painted in steampunk copper, and each one is unique with their own distressing, fault lines, and cracks. Each idol also holds a tiny little poison flask which it butlers on a teeny tiny platter. They’re modeled on the Feratu bloodsuckers, from
Steam Crow’s Monster Commute webcomic. They will be limited to only 10 pieces and will be at the Steam Crow Booth #4207 for $50 each.

Well isn't this a pleasant surprise as
Paul Kaiju shares with us his first ever sculpt to ever be produced in vinyl titled “Boss Carrion” who is a crazed animal-corpse-demon from the jungles of hell! Paul has been hard at work on all kinds of other figures and it's great to see him take matters into his own hands to create the figures that he loves. This piece was made in Japan and stand a whopping 8" tall. This figure along with others from Paul will make their debut at SDCC 2010 as part of the very popular
Global Figure Symposium at booth #4937.
