Full sculpt revealed of 'Miquiztlicoatl' the Death Serpent from Jesse Hernandez

I wasn't kidding when i said more soon HERE... as this news was just too good to update my last post... it needed a post of its own, and here we are! The full reveal of the "Death Serpent" or "Miquitztlicoatl" from Jesse Hernandez and Kuso Vinyl... WOWOW!!!! This piece is no joke, and talk about awesome sculpting! We are told that it stands a whopping 9" tall and comes with a shield, spear, and some serious attitude!!!

This design just screams Jesse's Urban Aztec flare and that initial colorway is keeping true to his OG style, and helping the factory loath him more and more with his unheard of 9 color pallet :-) ... and you know there will be other colorways in the works as well!!!! One of the things to note is that massive headdress as well as the serpent tail with skulls adorning the tip... soooo fresh. This whole piece is a pinnacle of sculpting prowess and even though the above photo is still a WIP, you can see the massive amounts of tiny details... unreal! Dare I say it... this figure looks beautiful, and I can;t wait to see some paint on it!

UNCLE x Tenacious Toys's Misfit Monsters custom Dunny series!

A series of six custom 3" Dunnys from UNCLE Studios, "Misfit Monsters" have been sculpted into bizarre beings with sickening colors. On the top row, from left to right, there is: the horned beast Bully, the toothy maw of Fil, and — my personal favorite — the tentacled horror Gimlet. The bottom row introduces us to: the cyclopian Glue, the malformed majesty of Kyng, and the drooling Slick. Each unique one-off figure costs $70 and is available exclusively from Tenacious Toys HERE.

JRAD's Mega Munny has a Jaws theme but no shark!

In honor of it being Munny Month, JRAD opted to customize a Mega Munny. And, I'll be honest, before reading his description I stared at it for quite a while and was unable to figure out what the design was. But his accompanying text did place the piece in context:

[…] having done a 3" dunny [and] 7" munny in similar fashion, I once again paid homage to one of my favorite films, JAWS. From the beginning of this project I had decided that I didn't want this one so "in your face." Just a very simple and subtle design. The main features being the yellow barrels, arm with tattoo and the lettering on the back of the head which is a reference to a line from JAWS in which the mayor says "AMITY as you know means friendship." Hoping some JAWS fans out there will get the reference!

Unfortunately, I didn't get the reference… though, in retrospect, it is a great bit of wordplay. And once I realized that this was a Jaws themed piece, a lot of the little details fell into place for me…

The tattooed arm is jarringly out of place amidst the sky and seascape, to the point of being distracting. And while the paint job is certainly solid, all those tiny bubbles look just like what you imaging an underwater scene to look like, I would've liked to have seen a little more subtle fade from the shallow waters of the head's bottom half to the deep waters of the body. But what I really needed to get this piece was the shark… and it wouldn't have to be obvious like on the movie poster, even just the shadow of one in the deeps; I think that might've gelled the whole more quickly in my mind.

Task One's custom Munny for "They Came From The Streets 2"!

Task One's "Under Construction" custom Munny for the upcoming  "They Came From The Streets 2" group show is wonderful. I love the tiny Munny construction workers with their hard hats and the chain link fence is a perfect touch. But what really does it for me is the inside of the head, which is a the foreman's office!

"They Came From The Streets 2," organized by the guys of Urban Vinyl Daily, opens on June 1st at UNHeardof, 323 W 4th St., Cincinnati, OH 45202.
Contributing artists include: Frank Kozik, Scott Tolleson, Gary Ham, DrilOne, Eyeone, 64 Colors, ValleyDweller, Steve Talkowski, Rsin, Lunartik, VISEone, Task One, Luke Cheuh, THARP, Nerviswr3k, Ian Ziobrowski, Abe Lincoln JR., Scribe and Alisa Ross, Squink, A Little Stranger, JFury, Jon Chase, JC Rivera, Maxx242, Chase Tafoya, Chris Brett, Dez Einswell, Terribly Odd, Jason Gallo, and Cache.

We Become Monsters's Skelechub Mini Blind Sale!

We Become Monsters, the artistic persona of Christopher Moore, has miniaturized his Skelechub design down to a mere 2-inch-tall figure… and then cast them in an astounding array of resin colors. These will be sold blind, meaning you can't choose which color you want, but there are so many fantastic options that you're sure to be a winner.

And possibly the best part: these unpainted beauts will only be $12 each. The bagged figures with header cards will be in the We Become Monsters web store tomorrow (May 28th), but most are one- or two-off casts, so you better hurry to avoid them being sold out.
