From traditional to urban from resin to vinyl, these are all great mediums and deserve to be explored. On top of that everything from music to movies from guns to graffiti.

Benny over at Tenacious Toys has been collaborating with Jon Malmstedt of Rampage Toys for a while now on various endeavors. If you remember Jon pours those little 2" Mini Kaiju Cupcakes in resin and at first he was painting them himself...then he tossed the idea at Benny for a blind box custom series based on this platform, and the rest is history!
Above is a shot of this 25-piece series, that features designs from 5 different artists including - Jon Malmstedt (Rampage Toys) - Justin Hillgrove (Imps and Monsters) - NREAZON - Nasty Neil (Wasted Talent) - OsirisOrion... and as you can see the results are awesome!

The future of toy making is upon us, and Macouno's "Entoforms" are a great example of where the art toy scene is heading. These tiny creatures, also called "Future Fossils" are really cool and colorful, but they were made and produced with a computer!! Well, designed in a computer and printed on a 3D printer, I've never really seen anything like this being produced on a small scale and not to mention they are uber cool. And if you think they are as rad as me you can be a part of the creation process by helping fund the project over at Indiegogo.
By helping fund Entoforms you can be part of something fresh and new, and even get an Entoform named after you! Sweet! Check out the video above to see what these little guys are all about and head on over to the Entoform website for lots more info and pics.

Matt also has donated 10 signed Mini Teas for Marie Curie to give away during this event on Twitter, so make sure you follow @mariecurieuk @lunartik and the hashtag #Tweaparty to be in with a chance of winning!
Man, I thought that last version that was released at last years Toy Street was bad... I really do hope that this is the last colorway of this bust created by Ron English, and even though I am a HUGE fan of skulls, this just rubs me the wrong way! The "Violet and Green" edition, just like the others measures a whopping 13" tall, 10" deep, and 9" across which comes in a limited edition of 100 pieces. If you're diggin on this, most retail shops should have a few in stock, but at $200 a piece, expect these to stick around!
Check out the latest from Max Toy Company as they just released a cool looking Mini Kaiju Drazoran painted by Mark Nagata! This limited edition figure is cast in Pink Neon vinyl by Shimizu-san in Japan, and hand painted by Mark using Monster Kolor paints. You can see the process over on Mark's Toy Karma blog HERE! Like mentioned before, these are limited... in fact there are less than 20 pieces available and can be had HERE for only $40, go now!
Remember our last post HERE about artist Sean Swiger and his stylized "Faces" customs... well he is back with a whole new series, and this is the end of the faces theme so he did a small run of 3" faces designs... only 9 total... and you have your choice of non-pearlcoated for $80 or pearlcoated for $95! These can be viewed over on the KidRobot forums, and if interested you can email him HERE, to snag em up!
Phil Shafer aka Sike Style just sent over some images of some recent pieces he has completed... the first few were with Miguel Rodriguez for the show titled "Plenty of Action, No Control" which was at the Paragraph Gallery in Kansas City. Phil did the 2-D work for the show, with Miguel handling all the 3-D work, and as you can see from the pics, it was a sick collaboration! For more pics hit up his flickr HERE!
He also did the show poster along with tons of other prints, which are available in his web store HERE that has been recently updated. This dude has some serious talent, so do your self a favor and pop over to check out the goods!
