As part of our ongoing LIVE video review series, we had the opportunity to crack open the new Bitbots figure... which is called Jinny "Bigtop" an was doodled on designed by Jon Burgerman! The new 6" Jinny was released on August 1st, 2011 and is limted to only 500 pieces worldwide. Jon Burgerman describes Jinny Bigtop as: "Human brains get weighed down with all the things they're trying not to think and obsess about; Did I leave the gas on? Will I have enough money to pay the rent and buy LA Noir this weekend? What will happen if the Sun explodes? Why are Curly Wurlys getting smaller? Sometimes you have to sip your over priced, unethically sourced mochafrappacapoeirachino and smile through it all. Give up the anxiety and take your Bigtop to the circus, they have clowns and dancing bears."
I really enjoyed the design of the character that Jon created, but the jury is still out on shape of this figure... simply put, it's really unique! That being said this is the first design that I really think works on this figure, the loose nature of Jon's art works perfect! Please take a few minutes and watch the above video so you can get a feel for what this figure is all about... and if it tickles your fancy head on over to the Bitbot's site
HERE to snag this up. While you are there you can grab some Series Zero 3" Jinny's as well... we touched on them in the video too! Oh and keep yours eyes out for a giveaway soon as we are going to be giving all that you see in this review away to one luck SS.com reader!

We posted up
this EPIC custom Qee a few weeks back from UK artist
Hoasker, and today he passed over this really cool set of custom Kidrobot Munny World 'Rooz' figures that he is calling the "
Nobody Cares Bears". All of them different, painted with spray paint and acrylics, looking sorry for themselves and in need of a caring surface to sit on!
Hoasker tells us that they are up for grabs right now
HERE in his online store and each one comes signed and numbered on the base. These are very well done, and at the rate and quality of the work that this guy keeps pumping out, you might want to snag up one of these because he may be going big time very soon :-)

Cris Rose has just announced a new release for his amazingly cool "Bits n Bytes" resin bots... and this go around he has whipped up some delicious looking colors in what he is calling his "Velvet Cupcake" editions. This will be a full set including
48 bots in 6 colors and 8 entirely different sculpts! These will be offered up in light and dark 3 packs, and in his newsletter exclusive FULL SET. The will go up via his online store
HERE at 18:00 London time tomorrow, and if the last release was any indication of how this one will go, I would hope on it as soon as they go live! Oh and if you have not
signed up for his newsletter yet... I would do so to get in on the special offers!
Full Sets
If you buy a pack containing a "Full Set" ($55) you're guaranteed one of each sculpt with no doubles. Each of the 6 bits is also a different color, but as the sculpt/color combo is random, every set is different! This is also ensured by the two randomly colored Bytes that come with their little Bit buddies. In total, you're getting 8 figures, all bagged and header carded.
Light / Dark 3 Packs
There are are 2 options when it comes to 3 packs ($22.50). The Light Pack consists of the lighter Hues, the Dark Pack consists of the darker Hues. Pretty simple really. There are 3 Bits per pack and the sculpts are random, but you're guaranteed the 3 colors shown!

Starting on Tuesday August 23, the
Studio Miners’ website will be available for consumption. The Studio Miners are artist
Evoker and art curator
Team Sweet. Where on a trip to Florida in early 2011, the two swapped stories of previous visits to intriguing and inspiring spaces. They both had made it a habit to wander into or find invitations to these magical places throughout the past few years. As the conversation went on, they decided it would be for the best to collect their efforts and start a website dedicated to documenting the wonderfully exciting world of artists, collectors and creatives of all kinds and with that, Studio Miners was born. So far, the website features a handful of artists’ studio visits including
Oliver Jeffers,
MCA and
J*RYU and will continue to bring their readers a peek into artists and collectors’ lives.
