"This embodiment of Noop captures the final moment in which his existence shines upon his face. Now you can experience the dramatic presence of Noop in real-life, an extraordinary and once off Coarse creation."
Just posted up via the
Coarse Toys website is their latest set of sculptural figures... and this time around they are focusing on the exploration of the head of their two main characters Noop & Paw! These high gloss fiberglass bust's, sculpted by Mark Landwehr of
Coarse, are 1:1 scale... meaning they are life sized. The Noop bust measures approx. 11"x20.5"x12.5" and the Paw measures approx. 14"x27"x16"! Each one includes a signed certificate of originality. The Noop bust is set to release on October 14th, 2010 at 8am PST and is going to retail for $565.
Now... if you purchase the "Eyes of Fear" Noop figure on October 14, you have guaranteed access to purchase the "Eyes of Fear" Paw, which is set to release on December 8, to complete the duo. With the purchase of the complete set you will receive an exclusive set of an additional 3 signed poster prints with the shipping of Paw. Anybody who gets a crack at these I am in complete envy of, WOW, awesome work once again from the boys over at
Coarse Toys!

Just north of the village lies the Forgotten Forest, home to the plush monsters featured in this exhibit. Tiny but fierce, the monsters of the Forgotten forest have created their own society with unique rituals and celebrations, including the annual festival of Groonlocagrunzle. As depicted in one of the paintings, Groonlocagrunzle is the celebration of the goo slime harvest.

Leave is to
Leecifer to mash-up an already cool figure, take pretty much the most noticeable piece away from it, yet have it turn out awesome! That is exactly what Lee did as he smashed up
RAJE Toys Dr. Brain figure and one of Brian Flynn's "Bump" Ghost Land figures... and the result is one HUGE ego as Lee states that it "
Looks like that bump on the head has led him to believe he has Higher Powers!" This cool figure is set to be displayed during NYCC at the RAJE Toys booth #2680, so stop by and check it out!

[PRESS] Brent Nolasco's newest line of artworks is called "Over Saturated & Under Appreciated". The project uses mass-produced found objects as a basis for Brent's off-kilter artwork. Brent has wanted to do this project for a long time, and recently acquired some skulls mass-produced by Martha Stewart, giving him the perfect starting point. This new direction gives Brent the opportunity to put his spin on pop culture icons and symbols.
The beginnings of this project- the skulls- will retail for $50 at the
Tenacious Toys NYCC booth #2878 in The Cultyard. A follow-up piece incorporating a gun and a skull will also be on display, which is just a prototype for the time being. Brent Nolasco will be signing at the Tenacious Toys booth at 3pm on Saturday October 9th.

Bob Conge aka
Plaseebo has NYC on lockdown this weekend. On the left is a custom for the GUUMON Show at
ZAKKA, opening October 9th. The backpack on this guy doubles as a switch for the color-changing LED's inside... how cool is that! It looks so different with the lights on, it's like getting two customs at once. On the right is a teaser and sketch of the painted prototype for "The Brain Rider", which will be on display Friday and Saturday in the Cultyard booth #2682 at NYCC. Definitely can't wait for more pictures of this. And here is a little story, titled "JB and The Brain Rider" by Bob Conge.
"One day not too long ago, the Jumping Brain ( affectionately known to his friends as "JB" ) came across a poster for THE FIRST ANNUAL BODY PARTS RODEO to be held Barcelona in the summer of 2011. JB was stoked!, as he had always been infatuated with old cowboy movies and rodeos. He knew immediately he wanted to compete in the Bull Riding contest......... as the Bull of course. JB was after all part Bullfrog.
JB began tryouts to find a rider, day after day, rider after rider, no one could hang on for even one second to his slippery gyrations. JB was about to call it quits, when one afternoon at the beach, he met a Skulloctopus from the states who was vacationing in Spain. Being comfortable on slippery surfaces and with eight legs to hang on with, it was a perfect partnership. For sure they would dazzle the audience at the First Annual B P Rodeo. And so they did."

Kevin Gosselin just sent in pictures of his masterpiece for the upcoming 15th Anniversary Qee Celebration at
Dragatomi, and I love it! His attention to detail is incredible and the theme is perfect for the Toyer qee.
"I wanted my custom to be a zombie and lately I've been trying to flesh out my characters to be more than the toy itself so I decided a good way to do that was to create a base that represented the ground and have the zombie rising from his grave. It allowed me to create multiple elements which is what I was really after...."
Check out
Kevin's blog for more back story on this amazing piece of art.
