Nemo has just been killing the tiki-themed customs and the traditional tiki carvings from wood latley, and seeing as Hello Kitty is "Hip" these days as it's Sanrio's 50th anniversary of Hello Kitty, it really seems only fitting for Nemo to tackle this vinyl platform... and boy did he ever! I absolutely love what he does with this theme and I can;t wait to see more... in fact it appears that
Tenacious Toys and Nemo have teamed up for a whole series of releases so stay tuned for that. In the meantime if you love the one pictured above, it can be yours... just head on over
HERE to give this custom a new home!

Ashley Wood continues on his path of steady releases every month and now what was teased a few days ago has been revealed a new Tommy and Zomb from the Adventure Kartel series. Titled
"Shadow" Tommy & Terence "the intellectuals choice" Zomb, this is set to release as a 2pack... who, what, when, where, and why... all of this is yet to be answered, but you can almost guarentee these will drop via
Bambaland Store at an unexpected time and day, so keep them peepers open. Oh, and how sick does this "Inky" set look... FANTASTIC!

Ian Ziobrowski just finished up a fantastic little commission piece he is calling the "Nuggy Eater" who has an appetite for not only those who get in his way, but for the greenest green! This is a custom 3" Dunny, and was painted up in a very meticulous fashion! According to Ian "
Besides the police, he is a nuggs worst enemy, and you can find this guy scouting the forest in search for some fresh nuggs to claim on the regular." Keep your eyes peeled as Ian has a ton of customs to reveal in the coming few weeks!

TazX just sent over some pics of his recent custom, aptly named "Rusty Munny #2". Complete with hat and cellphone, this creepy guy has a smooth look to him, and reminds me of
DrilOne's early work. I like it! Check out
TazX's flickr for more pics of his rusty creations.
