So who's ready for another contest... I know I am, and thanks to
Dragatomi we have an EPIC one for all of you today! A few weeks ago Dragatomi released an exclusive colorway, limited to just 85 pieces, of artist
Jesse Hernandez's Mictlan figure in a rad "
Peyote" edition... and you are all playing for a signed version of this figure! Wanna know how... well this is where is gets fun! Artist
TaskOne recently completed a huge wall mural on the side of the Dragatomi storefront that has a ton of designer figures on it... now it's up to you to put an artist name and face to each one of those figures, so it's time to test your vinyl/resin knowledge!

WOW... what a contest, and I would really like to thank all who entered! It was really cool to see all the entries, and just the wealth of knowledge out there that so many of you share... it's a great community! Now onto the winner... out of all the entries only 12 people were able to not only get 75% right, but also nail down #16 which was a must according to the folks over at Dragatomi... and who am I to argue, they are the ones putting up this awesome prize :-) So, outta the 12 people we entered them into Random.org and it spit out the winning number which was attached to the name of Ryan Rescober... so congrats man, you are the winner of this awesome signed figure!

It appears that artist
Keithing of ToyQube has been hard at work on a new custom... this time around he tackled the recently released KAWS "Dissected Milo" and instead of altering it with sculptural elements, Keith turned to his paint brush and in turn gave this piece a really nice faux wood finish... along with some neon green accents! Look for this to be up for grabs later this week via the ToyQube website
HERE... we will release the date and time once that is disclosed to us.

Ferg posted up a picture without any description earlier today via his twitter feed
HERE... and in all honestly... no description is actually needed. There is that old saying "
A picture is worth a thousand words" and in this case the photo speaks volumes, as it appears that
Playge is working on multi-point articulation on the next iteration of their Squadt figure! This is pretty dope, and just looking at all the different rotation areas, this will totally make the playability/poseability of these figure so much greater! There is no word on a release, but Ferg tells us that this new body type will be on future qpmnt pacs and squadt releases... more details will be released at a later date.

Tony “Titanium” Montalvo, Sculptor of
Keithing's Myth Warriors and the Snackz zipper pull line introduces his new creation... "TITANIUM the Robot"!!! He’s the muscle and the heart behind the whole Titanium toyz line, where Tony designs the Toyz, and TITANIUM builds them :-)! He’s the robot with the heart of titanium, which is an unbreakable metal! Tony built TITANIUM the way Frankenstein was built, taking parts from other robots and piecing them together... and it's pretty obvious that Iron Man was an inspiration for this figure! He stands a whopping 12" tall, is all hand casted and painted by Tony “Titanium” Montalvo, and the really cool thing about these is that the eyes and chest plate are glow in the dark. This rad figure will make his debut at SDCC 2011 in the two colorways that you see above! There is no word on price, or what booth they will be at, but I am sure info will be released shortly!
