It's about that time again folks... and after the success of the first '
Most Wanted' custom Dunny series... why not! Brazilian artist
Igor Ventura just sent over some news along with a photo of his submission for the series, talk about a mini-production! His design is called "Italian Deli" which features salami for ears, and a butchers cleaver... love the details! He went and made
15 pieces for the series... 10 pieces of a regular version, and 5 of a variant version with the salami ear cut. He also made some AP's to sell, some to trade with other artists, and also an 8" to go with them... crazy guy!! These turned out fantastic and if you want to know how he made them all, visit his site

It appears that Spencer & Stephen Ong of
Rotobox Vinyl Anatomica had one heck of a year in 2010, which is apparent in the above collage they put together... flexing their customizing prowess! What will 2011 bring, to start I know a Mega Munny and an 8" Dunny are in the works, but further in the future... 2011 is going to be HUGE, and I can't wait to be dazzled once again!

Inspired by the Night Gamers backstory that was written by Bob Conge of
Plaseebo back in 2006, German artist
Daniel Goffin created some awesome Ultra Limited NIGHT GAMER customs that are sure to give you some not so pleasant dreams! This limited edition of just 7 pieces feature a 6 1/2" tall vinyl figure that has been completely reconstructed by Daniel... don't believe me, check the WIP pictures
HERE... tons of man hours went into these. They were hand sculpted and painted, with an altered head and multiple glass eyes, and how can you leave out the patented Plaseebo internal color changing motion activated LED unit?!?! Daniel had to take these creatures one step further, to the next level if you will, as he created a unique plush toy animal suit for each and every one! Man, if these don't make you do a double take at that teddy bear you have, I don't know what will. These are set to retail via the Plaseebo webshop
HERE on Monday, January 24th, 2011 for $375 each.

Well, first off why is this guy lucky?!?! Probably because he is going to used as custom fodder by
Bwana in the very near future where you all can fight for the right of owning one :-) These neon green vinyl Randall's look sweet as they are, in their pure form, but what Bwana does to them really put em over the top, can't wait to see em! For up to date info... hit up Bwana's site
