Tomenosuke excl. - "Japan Red" bronze Jumping Brain

Emilio Garcia has teamed up with the folks over at Japanese based Tomenosuke to release a very limited run of bronze 3" x 5" Jumping Brain figures dubbed the "Japan Red" edition! This particular version features a deep red color which was achieved by chemical oxidation, and then it was finished off with a gloss coat! There are only 5 of these and each will retail for $1500 with a release date set for 7pm PST on February 18th! If interested, these can be picked up HERE at the previous mentioned date/time! I personally really dig the contrast on this colorway, and how cool is that oxidation effect. Keep in mind that there are only 5 of these ever being produced, so if you like what you see and you have the means to get it... do so, as they won;t last long!

Kuso x Rotobox - "Revolver Girl" vinyl test pulls

Kuso Vinyl continues to put their full support into the guys over at Rotobox as they have just officially announced the release of the next figure in the Rotobox family, "Revolver Girl"! Above are some test pulls of this new figure and as you can see, the figure itself is based upon the Celsius platform with some modifications... some sweet "pigtail" hair to be exact!

As you can see, this figure has been in the works for quite some time now... or at least that was the plan even before their Celsius figure was produced, "Revolver Girl" along with "Celsius" and "Fahrenheit" graced the pages of many illustrations! Kuso tells us that they expect to have a special colorway release of this figure at SDCC 2012 so be on the lookout for future updates!

Artoyz Originals x Stephane Levallois - "Marge Mallow" Toxic Candies vinyl figure

French toy label Artoyz Originals is proud to announce its new release from the Toxic Candies series created by Stephane Levallois... which by the way are some of my favorite designer toys to date... and months after the release of "Sweety" and "Liquorice" this great looking whale like figure titled "Marge Mallow" is now the 3rd Toxic Candies to drop! This figure is 5" and is available in two variants so far, a "Light Purple" version which is limited to just 100 pieces, and the "Pink" edition which is limited to 750 pieces... and in my opinion, these look very similar in color, hopefully it's just the photo above! These are up for grabs HERE right now for $45 each... so go grab them!

How & Nosm's latest project is currently up to peep at the LA Weekly building. I think it's time to work on being bi-coastal!!! Arrested Motion took some pretty amazing shots documenting the process.

Teodoru Badiu's Wippo update… A peak at the cast version

Following up yesterday's post regarding Teodoru Badiu's Wippo platform, Circus Posterus grant us a sneak peak at more than just the 3D renderings by the amazing artist… we have images of cast versions. So (obviously) the sculpt and molds are done and figures have actually been cast. By the looks of the pic, approximately 120 pieces have been made; no word if that is the final limitation of the first run or what colorway/colorways these will be appearing in. All I know is, I'm excited to get one and they can put my name on any pre-order list they might have!
