The mysterious Kaiju Coup is back (
not familiar... hit our previous posts HERE) with a brand new version of "WARUI INU"... and what was previously a resin figure, this ornery fella made the leap to vinyl thanks to
Medicom! This dog, in the all new "Ghost" edition, is limited to only 6 pieces and will be offered up like the previous releases... by email lottery at $220 each shipped in the US! All you need to do is email your name and address to
kaijucoup@gmail.com to enter the lottery to purchase "Ghost" Warui Inu. The 6 winners names will be chosen at random on Wednesday, January 25th. This figure is a hand paint edition, is made of clear vinyl, stands 6 1/2" high, and comes with 2 motion activated led units set in color gels inside the head and body that project light effects through the clear vinyl.... good luck to all who enter!

Luke Chueh just posted up recently a sweet little sketch of a concept plush figure that him and
Scott Tolleson are working on... or should I say flushing out ideas as this is just a rough WIP... who knows if it will even happen, but from the reaction it is getting... I am almost positive it will be a hit! Luke calls it "A nerd bear with 'Get your bully on' action" a fitting name for sure, and you gotta love the possible accessories. Good work guys... now make it happen!

We just got a great little email submission from artist
Jon Walsh as he shared with us a new custom that he recently created... and according to Jon this piece called "Pliny The Younger" Demon Bear is a custom Munny, and it's a theme that he has been doing for a few years now. I like it because it's fun and simplistic, really holding true to the Munny form! The first piece he did was a 7" Munny that was called "Yugo the Guardian", was a gift idea for his brother. He mentions that with each piece he tries to do something new. For example each piece comes with some sort of accessory. "Pliny" has the shoulder armor of the Fire Clan. Others have come with war hammers, swords, samurai armor, all of which I make. Pliny is now being shown at Dream In Plastic in Beacon, NY until February 9th so if interested in buying the piece, go
HERE to get in touch with them. Look for more custom from Jon in the very near future as he is on a roll as of late! Oh, and if this style catches your eye, he is always up for comissions and can be contacted via
jonwalshcustoms@gmail.com.

What has been in the works for sometime now has finally come to fruition and artist
Jay222 and
Skinner have teamed up to blow some minds with a very special H.P. Lovecraft "Figure-A-Month" release. Skinner goes on to explain "
I have loved Jay222 since I met him. He has a sweet spirit and sculpting skill I really like... I was talking to him at a show at Dragatomi and threw out the idea that I wanted to do a fun little mini run of H.P. Lovecraft figures and make them real limited and special. He was stoked and agreed! I sent him home with some weird Stuart Gordon adaptation films of Lovecraft stories... Sent him some sketches and he has been working hard ever since." Above is the result of their hard work!
They plan on releasing a figure a month for about 7-8 months and with each release there will be only 10 of each. The best part is, these two talented artists put their skills to work as Jay222 does all the sculpting, and then Skinner lays down all the color... a winning combination if you ask me! The first figure
stands 5" tall by 5" wide, and is the amorphous gaseous evil called "
The Colour Out of Space" which also comes with a little diorama and some tiny scaled down farmers, a kid and a protective dog, and each is bagged with a header card... Skinner tells us that it is one of his favorite stories by Lovecraft and with each release it should be a sort of educational introduction to the strangeness and depth of weird horror that Lovecraft is the father of. This will
retail for $100 each and will be up for sale Monday, January 23rd, 2012 and can be ordered directly from Skinner via
skimmerdog2003@yahoo.com. These will be in high demand, so pull the trigger on this first release, because one the others drop... and you miss this one, you will be kicking yourself for sure!

The time is finally here... what started out on the October Toys Forum, got some legs and made it onto Kickstarter, then after being over 100% funded in 10 days, OMFG! Series 1 was born. I was fortunate enough to have my
SpankyStokes.com mascot "Stroll" be one of the 5 figures for this first series, and now you can snag up an exclusive "Hot Pink" Artist Proof version of this really rad figure that George Gaspar of October Toys sculpted! These are very limited... and once they are gone! You can find them
HERE for just $5 each, and I also put up a 5-Pack option so if you want to collect him, paint up a few, or give him to your friends... you can save a little cash! Each will include a few SS.com stickers as well!
