This website is about any and everything that sparks the creative genius in all of us. By profession I am a Graphic Designer, and enjoy all aspects of design.

We have been following the progress of Plastic Booty's "Thor" figure for what seems to be ages now, and because of some unforeseen financial situations (we all have em'), this project had to take a back seat... until now! This is Plastic Booty Collectibles first production run of their THOR of THE PANTHEON figure and this resin creation is sculpted, cast, assembled all by the PBC crew! As it stands right now, there are only a handful of these available as it's a process to make... 9 separate pieces to be exact, but many more are being created to meet the demand! This super stylized character looks great in the pictures, but it's even more fantastic in person... oh and check out that awesome LARGE removable hammer!
When we first saw this figure, the release was very limited, and a little pricey, but now that they brought the entire process in house they have been able to save some money, in turn saving YOU money as the blanks will run only $40! This is a stellar deal for an over 8" piece of solid resin that is skilfully put together... and yes he stands on his own! There is also a possibility of a "Super DIY unpainted un-assembled garage kit" (Currently 9 pieces) version for $33 if the interest is out there. If interested, you can get on their waiting list now be emailing them via plasticbooty@gmail.com! SpankyStokes.com is also going to have a few at our booth during Dcon, so all of you that come out to that can see this rad piece first hand, and get a crack at owning the first few produced!
Andrew Hyska, an up and coming artist that goes by 84TIGERS, just completed a really great custom on Jamungo's NKD Jack Squadt platform! Titled "The OctoSquadt", this piece really has a certain pizazz to it, and Andrew did a fantastic job with the color combos making the octopus head, the body, and the fabric really work in unison with each other. This piece stands 6" tall and was made using epoxy-resin, glass and acrylic paint... and if you dig what you see, it's going to be up for grabs HERE on Wednesday, November 10th, for $275 which includes one Tee Shirt of your choice in any color/size combination available.
