It really keeps getting better and better... or should I say the customs that Wolfgang aka
VISEone. keeps pumping out. Check out his latest 7" custom Munny that he completed as a commission for a collector where he covered the entire piece with cut up Looney Tunes comics to form one massive collage... and on top of it sculpted the words 'ACME' as well as a few sticks of 'TNT' for good measure! Awesome work once again!

his site for up to date info as well as SS.com for details when we get them!
Some background info: "
Ceekoar is one of the fringe worlds of the Glyos universe, known for its harsh gaseous environment. It is constantly under siege because deep under its cloudy exterior it was the site of many ferocious Old War battles, resulting in the inhospitable environment today. The survivors of Ceekoar were changed by the new environment and now dedicate themselves to keeping the Old War tech decaying on Ceekoar out of anyone’s hands."

Recently completed as a custom for Phil of the awesome website
Battlegrip, artist
Motorbot completely reconstructed one of 3A's Bambaboss figures and transformed it into a "Mobile Mountain". We have seen this style of custom from Motorbot before, and just like the previous versions, this one turned out great. It's really cool to see the smaller trees, and the cracked rocks with vegetation running throughout the piece... it really adds great depth, making it appear as if it were a giant motorized mountain!

The headline pretty much sums this up, but instead of going home,
K.Olin tribu wants you to take home this massive porcelain sculpture. Based on the smaller sized figure that was their flagship release in the designer toy scene "Aro" has been supersized! Designed by French artist
Steph. Cop this recreation is a full 2 Feet tall and as you can see from the above photo it totally dwarfs its smaller counterpart. These sculptures, limited to 12 pieces... 6 white, and 6 black, are not for the casual collector as they will set you back a
whopping $8,700... I guess that's the price you pay for solid porcelain sculptures.

Filipino artist and customizer
Jan Calleja is at it again, and using the one platform that he loves to work on... the Celsius figure designed by
Rotobox Vinyl! This custom, however, stands out among the rest of his kit-bashed figures because it is not a Formula One car but a fighter plane. Titled "ZEROMAN", this cool custom is the first in a series of customs called the DOGFIGHTERS! These are inspired by WWII's fighter planes, this one in particular is based on the Japanese Mitsubishi Zero, and as you can see from the above picture, Jan does another stellar job capturing the allure of these historic machines.

Continuing on his custom rampage, UK artist
Jon Paul Kaiser shares with us today a few more pieces that he recently completed for some lucky collectors. First up is a really coll rendition on Joe Ledbetter's Smash figure as, JPK did up this ape for a fellow UK collector & seller, where this collector left the design up to Jon! After inspecting all the ways it could stand, Jon's wife suggested perhaps a Donkey-Kong inspired piece... and boom, there you have it. Even though this figure is not as cartoony as the OG DK figure would be, Jon took the more literal approach to it and make the gorilla more life-like. Gotta love the added red tie, and boxing gloves!
Next up is a custom Dunny titled "Pandanigata". This is a 3" Dunny custom who is a follow op from Jon's
earlier Pandashigaru figure. Unlike his predecessor... this guy has moved up the ranks and is now a more skilled fighter and renowned for his ferocity in battle. It's really great to see Jon use color in his pieces as it really sets off the rest of the black/white... especially with this piece above as the weapon and belt really lend to completing the design... such amazing work. Congrats to both these lucky collectors for snaggin up some rad pieces!
