WOW... another year done, and another year I wish I could freeze time to take in all the sights and sounds that was
Designer-Con 2010. I could not ask for better people to surround myself with and all of you who made it out to the convention I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Shoot, even those who could not make it out, and watched the convention via live stream... you guys are rockstars as well! I would like to thank all of my sponsors once again for donating all the AMAZING free goodies for all YOU fans, and if you won something an you remember who it was from, drop them an email letting them know!
Unfortunately manning the booth really did not allow me to cover the convention as much as I would have liked to, so I am putting together a photo slideshow, and video to kinda give the overall look and vibe from the event. Thanks so much once again for all that helped make this possible, for my friends and booth mates over at
Semantink you guys rock, for all the artists who filled my booth with amazing customs... WOW, and once again to all of YOU who came out to make D-con 2010 an amazing event! I can't wait until next year... onward and upward, and cheers! Hit the jump to view all the photos!

Jesse Hernandez is a busy man... getting his most recent love from
Kuso Vinyl, but just announced is a new figure set to be release through vinyl/resin newcomer
RAJE Toys. It appears that Jesse put his Azteca spin on the uber popular character "Gaiking" who was made famous in the Japanese super robot mecha anime series produced by Toei Animation! This initial sketch looks wicked cool, and I look forward to watching this entire project come to fruition!

You heard me, I said a
PAW Dunny!
Chauskoskis recently posted this picture on
CustomToyUnion, and I couldn't resist sharing it. Even though the image is just a teaser, and what looks to be a work in progress, you can already tell how sick this is going to be. I'm pretty excited to see what this guy looks like finished, and I'm sure it won't disappoint. Chauskoskis said he is making a few of these, and is planning on making some cool boxes just like Coarse. I want one!! Check out the
CTU thread for updates on this sick custom.
