Following the opening of his solo show, "Neo Indigenous" (
posted up a recap HERE), Marka27 will be at
Toy Tokyo on Saturday, January 21st for an artist meet/greet/signing and the official release of the highly anticipated
Toy Tokyo Exclusive 5.5" Black Buddha Minigod. What was supposed to release during NYCC 2011, but was held back at customs, The Black Buddha Minigod is
limited to just 100 pieces world wide and is sure to move quickly. If you are in or around the New York area, make sure to drop by TT-Underground and speak with Marka27 in person, ask questions about his latest body of work "Neo Indigenous" or get something signed... a great opportunity to do all of the above!

Artist
Emily Bee has been kinda quiet on the custom front as of recently, but she just busted back in with the above custom resin ‘Pharaoh Hound’ sculpted by Eric of
Argonaut Resins. This piece titled "
Destroy" is entirely painted by hand, however Emily left sections on his body showing off the original pink resin base. According to Emily "
The idea behind ‘Destroy’ is that we all have the ability to destroy and break a connection we have with someone else, regardless if we still feel strong love and passion for them. It is easier to destroy than to create." I really love all the harsh tribal patterns and clean line work... and how can you avoid such amazing vibrant colors?!?! This custom will be available for purchase
HERE on Thursday, January 19th at 3pm EST... and there is only 1 of them, so you best be quick!

Most of you already know that the FERG & Brandt Peters‘ "
TRIGGER" exhibition went down a few weeks back, and was a total success, and during that same show so many new figures were revealed. One of those figures that is catching the eyes of collectors out there has just been posted up over at the Circus Posterus site
HERE and is of Brandt’s newest
Trouble Boy: No. 7 "The Drifter". According to the site "Brandishing two boom sticks and a tanto knife, the black-clad, eye-patched Drifter is inspired by Japan’s Yakuza with the body tatt to prove it (bring on the striptease!)." We also are told that this will be a
Tomenosuke-Syoten exclusive release... so stay tuned for more info once it drops!

A while back we posted
HERE about
Tomenosuke-syoten and
Lady Aiko's amazing three-dimentional "Lady Butterfly" figures... and now the third colorway of this elegant figure is set to drop coming up in February, with a tentative date set for the 14th, Valentines Day! This version, just like the last, was watched very closely from inside the famous art and craft city
Hida Takayama, where Tomenosuke-syoten is located. The 10" tall resin figure is limited to only
10 pieces world wide, it comes with very special cylinder packaging. there is no word on a price just yet, but the others retailed for around $550 each, so expect about the same pricing. More on this when we get it!

Just when you thought we were done talking about plush for the day, artist
Scott Tolleson has just announced the official release of his new plush figure from the Nosellots line, "
Bernie Cotton"! Bernie is the second plush released from
Scott Tolleson and Screaming Sky Gallery, and just like
with his last release he called upon EPIC cosplay model
Linda Le to pose with this new plush, and it's obvious from the above photo that they are helping her study for an upcoming exam.
He is 13” tall and is
made from heavy fleece material. The green version will be available at your local designer toy store, while the pink Bernie is available only through Screaming Sky Gallery
HERE for just $25. These plush figures are so great, and Scott plans on releasing so many more in his Nosellots line... in fact, up next is "Francis", so stay tuned!

Looking to snag up the artist proof of the AMAZING new Dunny designed by
Jesse Hernandez dubbed the "Calavera Dunny"... well this awesome piece of urban Aztec art is up for grabs via Jesse's online store
HERE for just $150 a piece! The Figure will come
signed and numbered on the toy and the box, and the artist proofs will also
come with an exclusive print. This 8" Dunny may just be one of the coolest ones I have seen in a long time... I really love how the feathers tie into the already existing Dunny ears giving it an almost ceremonial headdress look... and how can you not dig those classic 'Hernandez' colors! Snag this up while you can!
