Interview up on Tilteed


A few months ago I was approached by Bo aka dunz0 over at Tilteed, an amazing online t-shirt company that puts up limited edition shirt designs for a specified amount of time. She asked if I wouldn't mid answering a few questions for an interview... and I obliged with a giant grin on my face. It was so much fun to do and an honor to be involved with Tilteed... so if you have a few minutes, head on over HERE now and give it a read!

Custom "Guybrush Threepwood" Munny created from a prize won on SpankyStokes.com


Ya see... it does pay to play in all of our FREE GOODIE FRIDAY giveaways, and the proof is in the pudding above as artists and avid reader of SS.com Alana G. won a sweet KR prize package that included a DIY Munny! She took that Munny and transformed it into one of my all-time favorite video game characters "Guybrush Threepwood" of Monkey Island fame, who is equipped with a rubber chicken/pulley... gotta know the game to get the reference :-)! Awesome job on the custom, and thanks for sharing Alana!

Paul Kaiju's "Mystery Meat"


As odd of a title that is, I am sure Paul would approve seeing as it's basically what he wrote on his website with the above silhouetted picture. What could this be... a new original figure, a collaboration with an old one, a custom... who knows with Paul, but one thing is certain... it's gonna rock!

It's been a couple weeks now since our last post HERE where we saw some really cool vinyl test shots of French artist Stan's kaiju"Kondo" figure, and today we have even more visual goodies including the smokey clear gray vinyl, a GID version, and a red vinyl version that is going to be used as a base for the colored produced figure... soon to be released! This figure stands 7.8" tall, looks to have 5 points of articulation and looks so great! I really can't wait to see these in person. There is no word on a price yet, but I am sure those details will be revealed shortly!

Josh "f+" Pearce is a customizing machine!


Josh "f+" Pearce completed a ton of customs already this year and seeing as we are just into February... I don;t see this custom train slowing down anytime soon. In fact these 3 customs are HUGE feats of work seeing as he tackled a Giant Skuttle he is calling “Titan Et Mortalitas”, a Coarse Toys JAWS dubbed "Ravenwing Slayer", and a custom Ajee Skullskin named "The Huntress"! Out of the 3 above I think my favorite is the custom Skullskin... pretty epic if you ask me! These were all commissions and have already found new homes... if your interested in some custom pieces by Josh hit him up via his site HERE... but be warned, there is a waiting list... well worth the wait though :-)
