So yeah... this snuck under the radar, but it appears that both Rob Ingellis (
OsiRisORion ) and Mike Mendez (
NeMo) started their own company they are calling
Bad Applez Inc. and have just announced that they will be debuting their first resin figure release dubbed the "Space Junk Destroyer" at
Rotofugi for the Toy Karma 3 show on Sept 10, 2011!! Above you can see the 2 pieces they made... one customized by each artist for the show, and wow do they look killer!
Each version you see above is a one-of-a-kind figure painted by OsiRisORion and NeMo, and they will be available in this colorway
for only $160 each at the show. These are the only 2 that will be available in these colorways ever! This is so rad to see, and actually I am not surprised at how amazing these turned out because the artists behind the figure/company are two of the most talented dudes in the scene, and I can't wait to see more! Be sure to visit their site

Brian Harsanto aka
Breeanzz just shared with us a few customs that his studio partner just completed... and I gotta say I am really impressed. B.A.D aka
Gilang Badudu tackled a few Munny's with some real finesse, titled the "Vicious Brothas!" this tattooed klan is ready to rumble and many more will come, and as you can see one was completed on a GID Munny and the other was on a Mini Munny. These were done up for the
Munny World Festival, and I really love the simplicity of black ink on raw vinyl... especially when it's so clean! Can't wait to see more!

Stepping up the custom game... that is what the boys over at
Rotobox are all about and for their most recent custom for the "Jumping Brain Show" at
Toy Art Gallery this September 16, 2011, they payed homage to one of their favorite suspense/thriller movies of all time... "
Hannibal" where they put their own spin on Anthony Hopkins character by using one of their Celsius figures, and then turning the 'Jumping Brain' into one of the most memorable scenes of the movie "Hannibal" when Ray Liota's brain was being eaten... and what a scene that was! Seriously killer work , and how cool is this set of customs!!!!

It's ALIVE... we just got word last night from Jon of
Rampage Toys that his "
Ugly Unicorn" just got it's first coat of vinyl and as you can see in the above photo, this flesh colored test shot is looking so nice! It's gotta be pretty amazing to take a figure from concept, sketch, sculpt, all the way to completion... and that is exactly what Jon has done with this figure! Oh, and this beast is still up for pre-order now in his online store
HERE for about another week... so snag one up right now!

So did you all know that
Toy Art Gallery is moving locations, well now you do, and opening its doors for the (re)-first time on September 16th they plan all kinds of awesome exclusive releases... not to mention the launch of their "
Jumping Brain" show!!!! One of the exclusive releases comes to us from Ricky W. aka
Velocitron as he plans on dropping a whole slew of new figures, and colorways of some oldies! All of the releases, with the exception of the "Tulu" and "Bokrug" mini figures, are one-offs, and the above "Bechigons" are some rare vinyl figures that have not released in quite a while! So if you plan on heading out to TAG be sure to scope out all the wares from
Velocitron... you will love em even more in person!

Grody Shogun does, and to prove it they are teasing us with the above picture of an upcoming release that features a gorilla with some very interesting flexibility. The little guy actually reminds me of those old school hybrid plush/vinyl toys from yesteryear... anyhoo, more details will drop very soon... in the meantime, feast on the above photo!

Honestly... after seeing all of these amazing one off figures from artist
Jason Limon... it just makes me want to see more!!!! This dude is just seeping raw talent from his pores... and according to Jason, we may be in luck because he tells us that among the other characters shown above... and yes that is a custom Dunny... he will be putting out a continuous line of these figures called
Kinzig (below). They are each hand sculpted/painted one-off's and have various differences in color and design. They run about 5" tall and are made of polymer clay and epoxy clay.
Jason goes on to say that he is currently working at making a larger version that he can reproduce in a limited resin form... so rad! If you all are as interested as I am, you can visit
www.thefirstof.com to see new characters and artwork every first of each month. Kinzig Celadon No.1 (left) and Kinzig Ash No.2 (right) look so fantastic, and in keeping with his transformation from his normal 2D work to 3D, it's pretty much seamless in transition making these a much welcome addition to any art collection!
