Do you want a Sucklord figure made just for you?

Have you ever thought: "Man, I love The Sucklord. Wish he'd make a figure just for me." I know, it'd be amazing, right? Well, guess what… Sucklord has teamed up with the Galactic Jerkbags (his unofficial fanclub site) to bring you just that. These "Karate Chumps" figures are made-to-order by the man in the mask himself! They do all use the same karate figure body, but the colors and head is up to you! And it certainly looks like he'll use just about any head he has that'll fit:

While those are only examples, the possibilities are pretty much endless. Each figure will come packaged in a handmade plain box with specially made insert, just like those Kenner mail order action figures of yore. Each piece will cost $150 and take 6-8 weeks to ship (these are being specially made just for you, remember), so — if you're interested — drop a line to Sucklord himself at store [at] suckadelic [dot] com for more information and to reserve your copy… because he's only going to do 30 of these total!

UAMOU x Rampage Toys's custom Ugly Unicorns for show!

We've previous announced (HERE & HERE) the upcoming "Rampage x UAMOU, Part 2" exhibition and teased that UAMOU herself had hand-drawn some custom Ugly Unicorns, but now we can see the result of that phenomenal kaiju collaboration! She took blank white Ugly Unicorns and some fantastically detailed black linework on them… I'm in love with those creepy eyes! These pieces will be part of the online "art show" broadcast from the Rampage Studios on June 15th at 11AM Japan time (that's June 14th at 10PM EST).

The Sucklord's "Suckadelic Spacemens" unique colorway on eBay!

The Super Sucklord himself has put up a copy of the "Suckadelic Spacemens" set for sale on eBay, and — like every copy in this edition of 10 — it is absolutely unique as no two sets used the same color figures. These "Galactic Failures in a Blister Pack" are four 3.75" resin figures, each with their own unique blister bubble, on an 11" x 8" cardstock backing board. The auction has just under 2 days to go as of this writing and is already at over $100… interested parties can place their bids HERE.

Sushi Kaiju creator Paul Shih reveals his newest figure…

While we reported it a couple of days ago, Paul Shih has officially announced the upcoming release of "Bevil" (the Broccoli Devil) and revealed one of the first unpainted test casts (above). We had previously viewed the front — which still looks fantastic — but now we can clearly see the rear with his fine rump and funny tail. It's quite possibly that Shih outdid himself, making something even more desirable than his Sushi Kaiju figure, but we'll see… Shih states that Bevil should be finished & available by the end of the month and that this figure is "one that i have many extended ideas for, and toy will be the first part of the evil plan…" If his evil plan is making me want a blank copy to have fun painting myself, then it's working!
