In the world of design, there are many ways to market yourself not only as a business but as an individual entity... that is exactly what Glen Liberman did as he is the designer and founder of
Kinekt Design, a newly launched company. He wanted wanted to reach out to not only those who follow their commercial design work, but to the designer toy community as well. That being said he teamed up with with
Motomichi Nakamura to create their first bust like figure titled "K.".
The figure was first introduced in their animated short called "
fabriKation" (
posted above), and as you can see in the figure it is composed or very smooth organic shapes, and coming in at only 3" tall this little guy is a perfect way to spread the word about their company. If you dig what you see, you can snag on of these up
HERE, which by the way is limited to only
500 pieces, for the small sum of $25.

New York City based artist Lance L. aka
MRMUNK is a total newcomer when it comes to the vinyl customization game... but one thing is certain, you can't tell that by looking at his work because it's really great! Above is a really weathered up custom ThreeA Bambaboss that Lance recently completed as a commission where he tackled it using a ton of different materials to give the piece a very layered/dirty look... he even did up the 3 faces in totally different styles, and when placed on the body really give new life to the figure. Lance is always down for commissions, so if you like the work you see you can hit him up via
lancelamontart@gmail.

We just received a really great update on the progress of Indonesian based visual artist Yudi Andhika aka
The Yellow Dino's collaboration with
MyTummyToys. If you remember from a few months back we posted up a very cryptic teaser
HERE, and now the art toy prototype has been finish and is now in the molding process. According to Yudi the figure will be around 10" tall and will be produced in a very limited quantity of high quality resin. This pieces looks very promising and I just love the attitude that this piece gives off.
