Dragatomi exclusives at Designer-Con 2010
And... the news officially starts to roll in. Designer-Con is coming up quick and there is sure to be a flurry of posts within the next week keeping you all up to date with exclusive release happening at the show. Dragatomi is on top of things as they just announced some really cool events and releases happening, the first of which is a brand new Skinner piece produced by DeadBear Studios. I don't know if you remember the interview I did with Skinner a while back, but he showed us an image of a failed Super7 figure... fast forward to today and it's being made into resin. This piece titled "The Outsider" is going to be released in super limited quantity, and Skinner will be on hand at 1pm to release and sign the figure as well as sketch it up!
Next up is a special release from Argonaut Resins as Eric has created a special bronze edition "Tuttz" and five different colorways of his"Kings of Atlantis" including Bronze Wisdom King, The Red War King, The Pink Love King, The Green Forest King and The Blue Sky King. This is just the tip of the iceberg for their booth as they will also be playing host to many sweet deals on tons of vinyl not to mention custom figures available by several different artists.

Paul Kaiju's "Pollen Kaiser" gets resinated...
Do you happen to remember out post in the not so distant past about a new project that Paul Kaiju was sculpting and was calling "Pollen Kaiser"... well now thanks to the guys over at Monstrehero this rad looking figure has been cast in what appears to be a nice golden tinted resin, and is being made into a small run! Paul is splitting a booth with Monstrehero as well as some other resin heads at the upcoming Designer Con in Pasadena on 11/20/2010... will we see these released there?!?!? I really do love the attention to detail and the additional skull flower scepter is so fitting!

DMS's final Duster colorway "Dust to Dust"
DMS just announced that he will be releasing the final colorway of his awesome Duster figure titled "Dust To Dust" in a limited amount of only 25 pieces on Sunday, November 14th via his online store HERE for £14.99 (GBP) plus shipping. His Duster figure has had a great run, and I will be sad to see it go, but I know that DMS will continue to create and we can look forward to more rad figures from him in the near future. **UPDATE** According to DMS, "there will still be occasional Duster one offs and maybe some blanks but this is the final 25 piece colorway." so get em while the gettin is good!
Backstory on Dust to Dust:
"The recent acid rain storms on Planet 44 have been taking their toll on the Duster units. The rain has caused serious erosion, even with and added heavy duty protective layer, the units are breaking down. Work has started on the design and building of a new and improved unit. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Rust in pieces!"

Kidrobot reveals "The Burglars" holiday themed Dunny's by Mexican artist Saner!
Kidrobot has a tradition every year around the holidays to release a specialty designed holiday themed Dunny... and this year it looks like Mexican artist Saner is the lucky one to get picked and not only is there one sweet design, but two! Titled "The Burglars" these two miscreants just ooze that lovely Saner style... I love skulls! "Santa Barbaja" is the more common figure where 5/6 times your gonna get him and he comes with a removable flocked beard, wears a fabric hat, and carries a reindeer skull impaled on his staff. "Burglarcillo", the more rare one is a 1/6 chance and comes with his own fabric hat and gingerbread man. The blindboxed Burglars retail for $14.95 and will be available for purchase on November 18... oh and I would not put it past Kidrobot to have some other variants mixed in, so keep those eyes peeled!
