Back last year in August 2010
we posted up a teaser of an upcoming project that had us here at SS.com really excited. It was between the design power house that is
Invisible Creature and the amazing
Super7 toy company as they announced that they will be creating a figure for Super7's Monster Family line of toys... well that time has come and releasing on Monday, February 7th at 10:00am PST are 30 all-black prototype’s of their "
Leroy C." figure. This guy stands 4.25″ tall, and I can honestly say since I have seen pictures of the figure it's really cool, and will fit right in with the rest of the MF characters. Be sure to visit the IC online shop
HERE next Monday and have $30 in your account... these will go fast!

Gallery 1988's "Is this thing on?" show went down a few weeks back and it goes without saying the show was a huge success. This was a tribute to stand up comedians, where the artists involved were assigned a comedian to paint, sculpt, design, in a way that fit their style as an artist.
TaskOne was assigned Andy Kaufman, which by the way sold on opening night. He used a Munny to complete the piece of work along with creating a stage with lights that really lite up! Task is super talented and he continues to shine... can't wait to see what this guys has been up to on his long hiatus!

About a month ago I met up with Mike and Rachel, owners of
Inner Sanctum, a California based company with quite an optimistic look at the designer toy culture. During our meetup they were pleased to share some awesome figures designed by LA artist
Mari Inukai as they helped bring her magical world of cutesy traditional Japanese characters to life in the first series of 'Sekaiseifukudan'.
Mari has been working with Inner Sanctum for over 9 months now to make sure all things were in order... and if you think about it... 9 months seems like a pretty quick turnaround!
These figures were created in a very peculiar process as they have the outer shell of hard vinyl, then the inside is filled with a vinyl, silicone, hard plastic mixture making a polysynthetic material that not only binds to the vinyl shell but dries rock hard and crystal clear. Which is important because in each figure this solution holds a sculpted heart in place, a featured aspect in this series that all the characters contain. All of this, Mike from Inner Sanctum says, he owes to the manufacturing company
Heroine International Ltd. where Mike states that "
They are utterly amazing and we owe everything to these people."
This first series will have 7 characters in it which include:
Akamarilla, Aomarilla, Honemarilla, Nekomitaina, Nekomitainahone, Usagiman, and Obakeman... all of which stand over 6" tall and come with clear circular display base, a must because these are pretty hefty. These are set to release in 3 certain ways... the Standard, GID, and DIY which is what we are featuring today, that awesome GID version of the "Hone Marilla" figure above. These are slated to drop at the end of March/early April and they are looking at a $100 price tag each (
still needs to be confirmed). Rumor has it that there will be a limited amount of 12 of each figure set to release in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for that.
