Artist Zam continues to slay it on the custom scene and this amazing custom Rumpus may be his best to date. The fact that he incorporated all the other elements like the cart and the two Dunny riders so seamlessly into this piece, making look just like production quality. This is on display at Cardboard Spaceship booth #4534 throughout the duration of SDCC, so be sure to stop by and check this out in person... it's amazing!

Travis Lampe made his first appearance at SDCC ever, and yesterday he had a signing over at the Color Ink Book booth. This was the first time I got to meet Travis in person, and I may sound like a broken record saying this about all the artists I meet, but Travis is such a cool dude and has some amazing skills. He was helping release the exclusive variant cover for the rad indi-coloring book, and also on display was his version of CIB's "Rayola" figure as brought to life by the great folks over at Sweet Meats... look for this plush character to drop in the near future!

We have covered Mugo products on here before and it's great to see them doing so well.

SDCC screning of The Vinyl Frontier movie...



One of the great things about comic-con is the exclusive stuff you get to see, not saying that this is the first time this movie has been seen, just saying that being in San Diego at the con has it's priveledges. We had the opportunity to go watch Daniel Zana's many years in the making special documentary focusing on the art/vinyl toy community for some time now, and seeing as how SDCC 2010 now draws a huge amount of vinyl fans and collectors from around the world, what better time to show. The Vinyl Frontier, even though was a bit dated, it was still really cool to see from a collectors standpoint it was informative and a fun watch. Would I change anything, probably, but I will leave that up to all of you to decide. Great job on this piece overall Daniel!
