Oh shoot, this is looking really nice as
Keithing just sent over some progress pictures of his newest resin figure the"Ox Warrior"! This is part of his ongoing "
MYTH WARRIORS" series... and as you can see from the last post
HERE, the once just head now has a full body! Keith says that he is holding a weapon in the photo... but that is still a wip and not ready to be revealed... I am guessing a big sword... how bout you? I am really looking forward to seeing this in completion which Keith states will be around early May... stay tuned.

When it rains it pours... and today is a great example of it pouring really good as we keep getting photos in for the
Toy Art Gallery 6-man group show titled "
Contemporary Figurative Modifications"... where we saw Leecifer and Brent Nolasco's submissions and now we are getting a peek at a few of the submissions from
TaskOne, and HOLY SMOKES that is one sweet Qee! What has been in the works for quite some time now ( and rightfully so) is the massive 20" cust Qee Task is calling his "Qee-thedral"! This not only looks epic from the outside but rumor has it that it is split in half, hinged, and reveal an entire inside to the "Qee-thedral"... AWESOME! Along with that piece he also did a bunch of collaborations with fellow artists as he created the above dioramas with
NERVISWR3K,
Leecifer, and
Jay222... I can't wait to see all this in person!!!! So that's 3 of the 6 artists participating that we have coverd so far and boy does this show look promising... are you tempted to come out now... don't miss this show!

And the photos keep rollin in... as we posted up earlier the awesome works from
Leecifer for the
Toy Art Gallery 6-man group show titled "
Contemporary Figurative Modifications" we are now getting a look at a few of the customs that New York artist
Brent Nolasco has contributed to this show... and wow are they looking good! It's been quite some time since we have seen Brent do any customs as he took some time off from them, but the above picture shows a new fresh direction, and I am loving it. He mashed up some ThreeA figures along with Soto's "The Seeker", and it appears to be Plaseebo's "Skulloctopus", to make some ghastly monstermechbots (
yup I made up a new word)! Remember that these figures are just the tip of the iceberg and the show is also featuring works from
Bob Conge of Plaseebo,
Jim Koch,
TaskOne,
Leecifer and
NERVISWR3K... don't miss this show!

I am a stong believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, in fact if I had my way... eggs/cereal/pancakes/bacon would be for every meal... and obviously artist
Adam Greeley fels the same way as he created a sweet custom 8" Munny he titled "Desayuno" which translated from Spanish means breakfast. This piece was painted up by Adam with acrylics, and has all the breakfast good on it like eggs, bacon, sausage links, avocado all while keeping it slick with a Luchador theme!!!! He even had some help by fellow co-worker James English, who designed and made those resin sausage nunchucks with hot sauce bottle handles...EPIC! This rad piece is going to be up for grabs tomorrow, Friday April 1st, via his online store
HERE for just $200. So why not start your day off right with a healthy dose of vinyl for breakfast :-)

Paul Kaiju just posted up some awesome pictures along with info on a new release happening very soon of his Boss Carrion figures.... dubbed "
April Candy" these will be released in three different colors all on clear vinyl including
Lime Green, Blue, and Pink. One of the awesome things about this release is that Paul stuffed into each one either five or six unpainted “unique” mini-resin figures hand-sculpted and hand-cast by Paul... so not only do you get a custom, but you get customs inside a custom and are all Paul's OG figures which include his "Chibi Welt", "Patsy Batsy", and "Biter Baby". These
will retail for only $150 each, and will be sold “Blind Bag” style, so no reservation requests or advanced sales will be accepted! Sales info to be announced soon via his website
HERE so be on the lookout!

You read it right... brought to my attention by Brazil native and custom artist
Sergio Mancini is a pretty strong case of counterfeiting/bootlegging/ripping-off whatever you wanna call it... it's pretty frowned upon... especially when you do it to one of the, if not the most recognizable, Do-It-Yourself vinyl figures on the market,
Kidrobot's Munny figure! This all started with a post over on
Banana Suicidia, a Brazilian toy site, where upon further investigation revealed that not only is this figure being bootleged, but it's for a HUGE country wide event... the
15th Annual Gay Pride Parade in Sao Paulo, and they created this "Mascot" to represent the event. From news site
G1 they state "
This year's edition will feature a mascot, an all-white doll, which will be accompanied by seven colored felt pens. Thus, those who purchase a pet can paint it the way he sees fit, according to the organization."... crazy right? I wonder if Kidrobot is going to take legal action against them because it's a pretty blatant rip-off... I mean, remember what they did to Taco Bell's "
BellHedz" figures, and in my opinion, this is even more of an extreme case. Time will tell, but in the mean time sound off on this issue... what are all your thoughts?
