This just announced via the
Circus Posterus forum is the Dragon*Con exclusive GID Big Sal designed by
Brandt Peters and
Kathie Olivias and produced by
Super7. This version looks extremely cool and will most definitely be on all serious vinyl collectors lists to pick up while visiting the con. There is no word on price as of yet, but I can assume it will be around the $30 mark!

Well, not really love in the true sense of the word, but more in line with "How I LOVE these customs"! We teased you
HERE with this collab between Bob Conge of
Plaseebo and 1/3 Evil
Jay222 as they showed off their amazing customs... but nothing really prepared us for the onslaught of what was really lurking behind closed doors as now we are getting the full reveal of this match made in heaven, an epic collab if you will! This edition of customs titled "Skulloctopus Bedlam" is a set of
10 figures, where Bob supplied his Skulloctopus figures and Jay222 then proceeded to take them apart, splitting them in-two, and then from there sculpting the body for the Skullo head, and the head for the Skullo body incorporating the clear vinyl Skulloctopus figure parts in each. These figures will be release as a set and will be available from the PLASEEBO web store
HERE on Wednesday August 25th, 2010.
The Planet Bedlam back-story:"
Bedlam, the home planet of the Skulloctopus from outer space is located in sector J222 . This sector of our galaxy, located near the worm hole Plaseebo, is noted for its intense radiation storms and frequent meteor showers. Bedlam is a world that far exceeds the classic tower of babel story. For here not only does each member of the species speak a different language, their are so many mutations of the basic genetic make up, that no two individuals look anything alike. Chaos rules here as each resident is in a world of his own, literally a land of eternal outcasts."
"The residents of the planet Bedlam would be totally lost were it not for their Linguistic Henchmen. Each of the Bedlamites has their own interpreter who they adopt for a lifetime of service. These little guys, who come from one of the three moons orbiting Bedlam, are literally organic personal computers capable of spontaneous multilingual translation."

VanBeater has recently posted up info and images of his upcoming
CrappyCat Series 1 mini blind-box vinyl toys which are being released under his new label
Unacat! The sculpts that we are seeing above are of "CrappyCat" and the newest addition "Flunk Monkey", CrappyCat's comrade/nemesis. These figures share an
astounding 6 points of articulation, and stand 2.75" tall! From what I can tell these two figures share the same body, legs, and arms, yet have different head and tail sculpts... it will be interesting to see what other figures are in this series. There is also a great picture to the left of the art turnaround template for CrappyCat. More info on this series very soon.

Mario Iglesias aka
Uberz just sent over some pictures of a custom Munny he recently completed when he found the spare time... yikes, scary to think what would happen if he had more than just "spare" time, as this beast is rad! The title of this piece is "BUSTER" and includes model tank parts, parts from a spawn toy, door lock casings, and a ton of paint and assembly. I really like the attention to detail on this as he even created a little cockpit and driver for this menacing mech!

Posted up with teasers
HERE and
HERE we are teased today by Ferg once again with yet another puzzling picture of
Brandt Peters X
FERG upcoming
Squadt release with Playge being called "
Squadt: TROUBLE BOYS"! Now what I am unsure about is what version gets a Tommy-Gun as we have seen "
Big-Sleep or No. 23", and another version with a hat. Brant previously stated about this series "
The idea behind the project was based on the 1930s "Hard-boiled" slang term "Trouble Boys" which was another name for gangsters. So far the line up is 3 characters??? and they will be based on my take of hitmen/gangsters through the ages. In the true Squadt formula, there will be fashion,accessories and weapons -- but with a Brandt twist... ". Each picture that gets released has me more and more IN on this release... I wonder what's next?
