Ajee's new "Kosplay" figure set

It's really been quite some time since we have seen any figures from French artist Ajee... in fact the last original figure was the super stylized "Skullskin" character. Well posted up on her site is some rough prototypes of an upcoming figure titled "Kosplay". This is a 2 character set, a girl un-dressed as a skull, and a polar bear disguised as a panda... it's interesting to read what is stated about the figures as she says "The panda is more endangered than the polar bear, maybe she did a makeup on him to protect him a little longer?"... pretty interesting concept. As you can see this figure has the same dramatic stylings as her "Skullskin" figure... the hard edges, blockiness, long exaggerated limbs... it's quite beautiful! The production for this figure is slated for 2011, and is going to be released in two different mediums, by two different companies. The fist being K.Olin Tribu where it will be produced in Limoges porcelain, and by ExtendedPlayZ where it will find its way into vinyl.

Chauskoskis customs for Art Whino's G40 art show!

Today we have a few more great customs to showcase for the upcoming G40 Art Summit being hosted by Art Whino on Friday, May 20th 2011... and both of these fantastic pieces are from super sculptor Walter Jacott aka Chauskoskis! First up is a giant 10" custom Teddy Troop Walter created that he is calling "Voodoo Bear", and for obvious reasons :-) Walter sculpted over this entire piece adding a human face to the once before teddy under head and going to town on the hood part with a magnificent burly bear head...seriously cool!

For his next piece, Watler took inspiration from a figure he created as a custom PAW! Dunny... to make a long story short he created a small 3" Dunny PAW! and had such a huge response to cast them and make multiples, he decided to not do that as it may step on the toes of the original creators, Coarse Toys... so what did he do... he created what you see above titled "MUD"! This original sculpt still pays homage to the PAW! figure, but in Walters own style... and this bright green, monster from the black lagoon, looking figure stands a whopping 12" tall and will be up for grabs and on display at the G40 Art Summit! Great pieces of work man! For more pictures hit up Walter's Flickr HERE and please come on out to see these as well as many other great pieces in DC this week!

James G. Cooper's "BB" resin figure

It's interesting how the designer toy field works... or functions should I say... sometimes you don't hear about a figure, or an artist for that matter until the reveal of the figure, and that is totally the case with James G. Cooper as he just revealed to us a new resin toy titled "BB" which stands for Ballerina Bear. BB is a musical creature from James' world of characters known as, “The Light Bulbs”... more on that at a later date, but James tells us that the figure was conceptualized during the time of his wife’s pregnancy and is dedicated to his daughter LiBBy... see the BB in the name :-) This figure is part bear and part tree which was sculpted by Aiyana Udesen, and was cast by Motorbot's Dead Bear Studios. The first release will bee very limited... 15 pieces to be exact and will be the "Mono Marbled Resin" you see above. This 6" tall figure and will drop this Friday, May 20th 2011, at 12pm PST HERE for $45!
