We have seen many custom Celsius' lately... not only was there a custom show down in the Philippines and in the US, but we ran that great Celsius custom contest a few weeks ago on SS.com, but there is something about the work of artist and customizer
Jan Calleja that really stands out amongst the rest... the ability to to kit-bash his customs into awesome looking transformer like racing machines! These 2 figures above, 'Formula Gan RB-08' & 'Formula Gan F08', were created as part of the growing collection
Toy Art Gallery collection of figures, and what a perfect place to have them displayed. For more of Jan's work visit his site
HERE... and be sure your sitting down because there are some sweet pieces of work!

Happening tomorrow Friday, September 24th, 2010 and running through October 24th Chris will be on hand as the gallery reveals his creepy cute monsters to all passers by. Custom

Here's some behind story about him.."
Meet Bono, an adorable cat who enjoy acquiring stuffs, especially when its belong to someone else *giggles He has courage like a tiger, nothing can ever keep him from doing what he likes. One of ‘em is playing hide & seek with you. Only remember, when he hide himself, he might hid your stuffs too :P"
"He’s not a bad guy though, he just love to play. Watching your confuzzled face exites him the most. There he goes, live his playful days. Until one day God think it’s enuff and punish him. Don’t worry, God is sincere so he kindly put a provision: each time Bono rob another stuffs, he will raise 1mm horn above his head so that Bono will always reminded of his own mistakes. On the other hand, his horn will shrink if he’s being good. How many milimeters has grown above Bono’s head? Guess Bono will never stop robbering, no?….it’s okay Bono, we love you anyway."

Steve Talkowski's rad customs for the
Tenacious Toys custom Marshall series is being featured today, and Steve re-interpreted this shape into his own Sketchbot figure to create his customs for this series... in fact we he created OG yellow colorway, and he also created the next versions of his Sktechbot figure, which are yet to be released... the pink and the blue, great job on these Steve! Which one will you pick... keep your eyes open for the drop!
There are a total of about 35 pieces in the series... half of the artists were each given 4 Marshall's to customize: 3 in a standard style, and one variant. The other artists were given 3, or 2, or 1 figure to do up as chases or mystery figures. The concept is to put quality customs by talented artists into the hands of collectors for not very much money, so the price-point of $50 was set and the artist roster created, which includes:
Mike "NEMO" Mendez,
Brent Nolasco,
OsirisOrion,
Ian Ziobrowski,
Den Ramos,
LYS0L,
Rolo,
Bryan Collins,
Phetus,
John "Spanky" Stokes,
Leecifer,
Steve "Sketchbot" Talkowski, and
ZAM. Stay tuned for more updates featuring more customs from this series!

It's finally here! After weeks of twitpics and forum speculation, Kidrobot's 2tone Dunny Series just dropped, and, thanks to
Neon Monster, we are happy to present some of the first exclusive reveals. The lineup features standard figures by
Ryan Bubnis,
Aaron Meshon,
Huck Gee,
Tad Carpenter,
Steven Harrington,
Chuckboy,
Maxx242,
Pon,
Doktor A and
Aya Kakeda, a mystery figure by
Maxx242, figures with unknown ratios by
Angry Woebots and
mcbess and a rare chase by
Gary Baseman.
The 2tone Dunny Series is like the Endangered Dunny Series in that it is in limited release and available only through select Kidrobot resellers. Although you can see that not all of the Dunnys in this series follow the strict definition of "2tone," Neon Monster told us that the case they opened contained every figure listed except the Huck standard and the Baseman chase. Not a bad ratio! Hop over to
their blog to see photos of all their 2tone Dunny pulls.
Cases at 10% off and
individual blind boxes are on sale now!
