Sean Viloria's "Legendary Creatures" custom Dunny series!

Artist Sean Viloria is undertaking his very first custom Dunny series, entitled "Legendary Creatures." Based around "monsters from myth, legend, pop culture and reality," this series will consist of only ten unique custom 3-inch Dunnys: Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, Creature From The Black Lagoon, Mothman, Lizardman, El Chupacabra, The Yeti, Cthulhu, Godzilla and the final one is a mystery. If you're familiar with Viloria's style, then you know these are sure to be highly detailed, resculpted pieces. And — if that wasn't enough — there will also be two Golden Tickets: one for an 8-inch Yeti Warrior custom and one for a 3-inch chase custom figure; that's a one-in-five chance of getting a Golden Ticket! Insane!

Viloria is anticipating having the series complete by September 1st, but he's currently reserving spots… which you can do by just e-mailing him at sean [dot] viloria [at] gmail [dot] com, though be prepared to PayPal him the $130 + $20 shipping each spot costs. Each piece in this series will come in a wooden box, with accessories as well as a sketch of the creature you pull.

MAD's Bentworld Brawlers & Kidrobot x Krink Designs!

We all know how it works: an artist designs some figures, pitches them to a company, and sometimes waits years to see them produced. Or, sometimes, the pitch is outright shelved indefinitely. While we don't know where these designs from Jeremy "MAD" Madl for Kidrobot stand, we do know they are something we'd spend money on! On the left, is an entire series entitled "Bentworld Brawlers," building off of Kidrobot's Bentworld figure line. And on the right, also in Bentworld style, is a Kidrobot x Krink collaboration that Madl refers to as "wishful thinking." Maybe someday we'll be lucky enough to see them produced…

J★RYU's The Art Hustle sketch card revealed to be astounding!

It's been a while since we teased about any of the upcoming The Art Hustle Series 3 sketch cards… so it's fitting that we start again with this amazingly sculpted trading card by J★RYU. And this isn't even a one-off… it's one of several he's done for the series. Packaged randomly within packs, most sketch cards are a joy to pull… this one might be over-whelmingly cool to find, though! But the question remains: how many cases of cards am I going to have to buy before I find of these little pieces of wonder?

Sucklord's next release is Rejects 2 & Chop Suey 2!

If you're a fan of the Sucklord then you already know the deal… He's saying that "Rejects 2" and "Chop Suey 2" will probably drop next week in his online shop. Rejects is, quite literally, the rejects from his process: Color-tests, Bum-Castings, and Cobbled-together Frankenstein Wreckage. And once that bin gets full, Sucklord throws them on a backing card and sells them relatively cheap as the Rejects series. Chop Suey, on the other hand, is a cheap ass Chinese take-out container full of rejected crap that wasn't even good enough for the Rejects series: Silicone Mold Debris, Bum Castings, Off-color bootleg bits, Suckpeg reject parts, Actual garbage, Broken toys, Amazing weird shit, Intermediate Production models, and even Crap Fragments that may give clues about upcoming projects. It's the ultimate form of spring cleaning at the Sucklair… which can result in you getting unique crap on the cheap!

Davemarkart's "Blue Valentine" custom Bunee Qee figure!

We know what you're thinking: "Isn't it a little late in the year for a 'Blue Valentine' release?" To that, we say, it's never too late for lovers… huh, heart-shaped hole in his chest… hmm… So, it's never too late for the broken-hearted! This amazingly recrafted 5-inch Bunee Qee by Davemarkart was given the complete make-over courtesy of super sculpey, acrylic paints and a matte finish… Though those eyes, made penetrating by their size and the eyebrow detailing, have a high gloss finish to truly make them shine. This unique custom is available now in Davemarkart's online shop for $90.

Erick Scarecrow & ESC-Toy's "Mermadi 2" issues her sirens call today!

We did the big reveal of the new "Mermadi 2" design by Erick Scarecrow yesterday, but this hand-painted resin figure — limited to only 20 copies worldwide — will be released by ESC-Toy today (Friday, August 3rd, 2012) at 11AM EST. She stands around 6-inches tall, nestled in the crashing transparent resin waves that are roughly 2.75-inches tall and 5-inches wide. For the insane amount of work that must've gone into making these, it's hard to believe they will be sold for a mere $125 each in the ESC-Toy online store

Jon-Paul Kaiser's "Pandaimyo" Mini Qee APs are Available Now!

The first four "Pandaimyo" Mini Qees by Jon-Paul Kaiser and Toy2R are available in Kaiser's online store now. As the figure description states:
The Panda warrior who descended from this mountain home in China, crossed Korea honing his skills as he travelled. Then one day he landed at Itoshima and travelled across Japan, fighting his way and gaining a following of ronin and ashigaru warriors eager to follow this great warrior and seeking glory of their own. Pandaimyo rose to become a warlord and his offspring became Daimyo of their own clans.
The figures are, left to right above, of the Mountain Clan, Royal Guard, Spirit Clan and Fire Clan. Each of these APs comes signed with a hand-written haiku on the back of the box and a JPK sticker for £20 (roughly $32) each in Kaiser's online store… or you can buy a set of all four, limited to 10 individually signed and numbered figures, for £80 (roughly $125).
