D'creativeaholic x Creo Design - "Lofing"
Scottish designer toy producers, Creo Design, hit the ground running in late 2011... and now kicking off the new year they have announced yet another designer toy project.. this time with D'creativeaholic. Titled "Lofing", this shroom loving animal like figure is part of thier 'Minimizer Dreamland’ artwork series created back in 2008, and according to Creo, there are 7 main characters within the Minimizer Dreamland series... will we see them as well?!?! "Lofing" however is set to make his debut into the vinyl world mid-year and will stand a proud 5" tall... keep track of the progress as well as many other projects from D'creativeaholic via thier site HERE or Facebook HERE. One thing is certain, I look forward to seeing the 3D representation of the above figure.

"DayDreaming in a WinterWonderland" custom Dunny series by ClarkR
Each and every time I get an email from artist ClarkR I literally get a sense of excitment to see what he has come up with next... and above is that "next" I am talking about... BEAUTIFUL! We have seen multiple variations of this half semi-transparent figure head that involves a diorama of sorts... and honestly it never gets old, especially know the amount of time and effort put into each and every one of his figures! This now sold out edition of 5 figures titled "DayDreaming in a WinterWonderland" features stunning metallic red flake body with a custom super-micro-mini sculpted 'Dunny snowman' inside the head, along with a snowy pine tree! ClarkR does some super clean work, and he also documents his entire process... so go check out his Flickr HERE. Amazing work as always man, and thanks for sharing!

OG "Mickey" David Flores "Deathead" figure
Spotted for the first time at DKE's booth during SDCC 2011, BIC Plastics teamed up with David Flores to release the new figure called "Deathead"... and just today, David posted the above photo via his facebook page, and this OG "Mickey" Colorway is looking pretty damn fresh! The sculpt itself stands a good 10" tall and blends the iconic mickey mouse aesthetic with a fighter pilot along with a skull and cross bones. I am really loving this figure, and look forward to seeing more colorways! There is no word on a release date or a price but expect details very soon!

Nathan Jurevicius x K. Olin Tribu - "Bunniguru" in Limoges porcelain
To start the year out right, the folks over at K. Olin Tribu are stoked to be releasing a brand new sculpture, and it's a definite doozie... a porcelain version of Nathan Jurevicius' "Bunniguru" figure! What was originally produced by the now defunct company Flying Cat in vinyl and released back in 2005, this now more elegant looking figure gets revitalized - if you will - in limited edition Limoges porcelain. For this upcoming release, each one is handmade, numbered and stands almost 8" tall, and will be limited to just 50 pieces worldwide!
As you can see from the very recent progress shots above, this figure has nothing but TLC put into each and everyone. That being said, they will set you back a pretty penny though, as they are retailing for around $293, but you get a true art sculpture... so if you have the cash... it would be an awesome addition to any collection! They are going to go up for pre-sale starting this Saturday, January 7th 2012 via the K. Olin Tribu website.

Teaser... K11 "Frozn" 3 pac from Ferg
Ferg has been on an Instagram posting rampage lately, most of which is in preparation for his upcoming "Trigger" show that opens this Friday, January 6th that is going to feature works from himself and Brandt Peters. One post however caught my eye... and I am guessing the eye's of many others, and as the above photo shows he is gearing up to release a K11 "Frozn" 3 pac! These feisty looking K9's are going to fit in really well with his already released "NOZZEL" and "GASSED" Squadt's... all of you C&D fans best get ready as these will most likely drop later on this month!

What do you do to talk yourself out of epensive online auctions? Paul Kaiju sculpts :-)
That's right... instead of spending his hard earned cash, Paul Kaiju turned from his computer screen and went directly to his sculpting table to bang this mini version of "Andoro Seijin" out! Paul says that he has been wanting to sculpt this for a long time... and I gotta say he hit a home run with this one... and what a talent this man is! Now, let's see what he does with it :-) Oh, and if you are wondering what one of the original "Andoro Seijin" figures looks like, click HERE!
